| MP3Tunes. No DRM.

| 1TB disks (data transfer rate 40times faster than a DVD). Called Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD), the technology is being promoted by a consortium of six companies. Seen as a possible successor to Blu-ray and HD-DVD.

"If history is an indication, consumers will fill the disc up. High-definition broadcasting and gaming are also expected to add a heavy burden to existing home storage systems because of the size of the files. Two hours of HD programming takes up about 15GB to 25GB."

If a pixel were to see and interpret things as I do, and should it express, with a dose of my thoughts and afterthoughts; the flavor of such a talk should be close to one that you find on this page. And yes, cricket being my favorite sport, dont be surprised to find one too many related terms. Pad up is one such!
