Beyonce Knowles has been nominated for ten Grammy awards.
The “Halo” singer and Taylor Swift - who has been recognized in eight categories - were revealed as the most nominated artists at yesterday’s Grammy Nominations Concert Live! event. The two stars will be competing against each other for the coveted Record, Song and Album of the Year prizes.
Kanye West, soul singer Maxwell and the Black Eyed Peas all received six nominations, while Jay-Z, French DJ David Guetta and Lady Gaga are each up for five awards.
Lady Gaga’s The Fame and single “Poker Face” were both nominated in the top categories while the Peas are in the running for Album of the Year (The E.N.D.) and Record of the Year (“I Gotta Feeling”). Kings of Leon‘s “Use Somebody” made the list for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Dave Matthews Band’s Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King was the final nomination for Album of the Year, while Maxwell’s “Pretty Wings” rounded off the Song of the Year nominations.
The 52nd annual Grammy Awards will take place on January 31 in Los Angeles. You can find a complete list of nominees here.

The Best SYTYCD Performance: July 22, 2009
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, Video,
Every year, So You Think You Can Dance gives us a number so beautiful and powerful, it brings at least one judge to tears. Season 5 is no exception.
Last night, a piece danced by Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi easily overshadowed anything else that happened on that dance floor. The Tyce Diorio number, choreographed to Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman’s Work,” told the story of a woman dealing with breast cancer. The result was something that got the whole room choked up.
World’s Thinnest DVD Discs
Posted by John Goulden Categories: Corporate News, Storage,
Using an innovative nanoimprint technology, Hitachi Maxell, LTD have succeeded in creating the world’s thinnest DVD media at 0.092mm thick. This makes the new disc approximately 1/13th the thickness of existing DVD media, yet allows it to retain the full 4.7GB capacity. Obviously a single disc isn’t going to gain you any benefits simply by being thinner, but if you were to take a stack of say 100-discs, make them double-sided (9.4GB), stuff them into a cartridge 2.5-inches thick, and slap a fancy acronym like SVOD on it, you’d have a digital library cartidge with almost 1TB of capacity (940
GB). SVOD, which stands for Stacked Volumetric Optical Disc, really starts to shine when coupled with the next generation of blue laser technology, as a stack of 50GB discs could increase storage capacity to 5TB.
When released the discs will be priced at under $325 for a 100-disc cartridge.
