General Electric Co.'s research division said it had developed data-storage technology using holograms that could store the content of 100 standard DVDs on a single disc.
GE said its microholographic material can support 500 gigabytes of data in a standard DVD-size disc, equivalent to 20 single-layer Blu-ray discs. GE plans to license the technology to other companies that would produce the disc and players and expects products based on the technology to be available in 2012.

Good news should be told twice.
