I thought about getting Mrs. Claus one of these fake diamonds as an engagement ring stone, but then I thought about what I was saying by doing such a thing. Is my love for her just a facsimile of true love? Though chemically and physically the manufactured diamond is identical to a mined diamond, there is the lingering feeling that it is somewhat untrue to the spirit of diamonds. It is a perfect, fake diamond.
I didn't want to have that sort of guilt hanging over my head, so I didn't go with the cheaper diamond.
I decided to buy her a cheapy cubic zirconium instead.

I'm not trying to troll, but when will mainstream applications (see: desktop computers, or at least universities) come around? Until we see anything, it's all theoretical, and all subject to just being vaporware.
Apollo produces its diamonds by CVD -- chemical vapor deposition. So, in a way, these new diamonds are literally vaporware.
