Shaking Hard Drives Instead of Spinning?

A 'hard drive' could be the same size and shape as an LCD screen. I wrote a this piece on Techworld about it."

    Ok, go ahead and mod me off-topic. I'm suddenly, for the first time getting a message about an active-x control on this page. (yeah, IE, got to have it for business reasons, get off my back) I doubt this is flash, because I never get any notifications about flash... Anyone else getting this? Is it something new?
