Green Tea Cleans Hard Drive Heads

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the heloise's-pc-found-to-be-spotless dept.

mprindle writes "Wired.com has an article announcing that a 'study of the use of green tea extracts for polishing the magnetic heads in hard-disk drives has yielded a compound that works three to four times faster than conventional compounds. If the findings can be reproduced in an industrial setting, the compound could reduce the cost and environmental impact of hard-drive manufacturing.' And you just thought that green tea was good to drink."

    Please, next time don't post as an AC. I want to add you to my friends list.

    I'm Anonymous Coward and so's my wife!

    And it was me, seriously. It would have been way too hypocritical to have posted such a joke and reap any karma from it, see.
