Blu-ray can hold even more - 50 GB. That's because the data layer is closer to the surface - 1 millimeter instead of 6 mm deep - so the laser can focus in even more tightly, said Andy Parsons, a Pioneer Corp. executive who is chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association's U.S. Promotion Committee.


I'm pretty sure Andy would have said 0.1mm and 0.6mm. That the reporter is so clueless that they couldn't catch the error in fact, speaks volumes.
