A 'stone-like' optical disc that lasts for millennia

Finally a disk so durable they should have called it a "stone disk". Steve

A 'stone-like' optical disc that lasts for millennia | ZDNet: Start-up Millenniata and Hitachi-LG have teamed up to create a new optical disc along with a read/write player that will store any data — movies, photos, and music — forever. The disc is compatible with any current DVD or Blu-ray player.
Millenniata calls the product the M-Disc, and claims that it “cannot be overwritten, erased, or corrupted by natural processes.” In fact, if you were so inclined, you can dip it in liquid nitrogen and then boiling water without harming it (See video).
