HP has invented a new technology
to label your CDs and DVDs which uses your CD/DVD burner's laser to create a
professional looking label. When you have burned a disc you simply just flip the
disc over and burn the label on the other side. According to HP it has licensee
deals with Hitachi-LG Data Storage Inc., Toshiba, Mitsubishi Chemical Company,
MicroVision Development, Moser Baer India Limited and Sonic Solutions Software
with more deals to be announced in the coming months.

The method of using the burner's
laser to create a label is however not a complete new invention as Yamaha
accomplished this with the DiscT@2 technology too. But contrary of the DiscT@2 technology
the LightScribe technology burns the label on top of the disc and not on the
recording side. You
can find the complete press release from HP here (PDF).
