After years of waiting and hundreds of Engadget posts, the much-anticipated but seemingly just-out-of-reach high definition optical disc technology known as Blu-ray has finally, at long last, been given an official launch date by Sony.
Recently a company from Utah called Millenniata has introduced an optical disc technology utilizing a disc in which the data is etched (or engraved) into a ceramic substrate rather than stamped on plastic like conventional optical discs.
Among them: I-Stat, owned by Abbott Laboratories (nyse: ABT - news - people ), which makes a handheld device for basic chemistry that uses so-called ion-selective membranes, and Cholestech (nasdaq: CTEC - news - people ), which has a lipids testing machine and relies on a glucometerlike optical reflection technology.
