I didn't think this kind of technology was so close on the horizon:

I'm sure when it becomes commercially available it'll be horrifically expensive. But still, a full DVD in 5 seconds? Sign me up.

One word:

In an interesting development, I couldn't find anything about it on Slashdot. Which was weird. I submitted the story, "anonymously." Which means if my search was correct, I don't know if they'll even put my "masked platypus" moniker on the story. Whatever. I kind of have a subtle self loathing for every nerd who reads that regularly anyway. We'll see.
