Ask Slashdot: Technical Speed Reading Courses?

Headius is concerned about the following: "In today's bleeding edge technological world it's a chore just to keep up with all the new developments. My only answer is to keep expanding my library, both digital and physical. The only problem is my reading speed and speed of comprehension. I always read everything word for word, or I miss some critical bit of information. Does anyone know of a "speed reading" course that really works, and works well for the tightly packed information in most tech texts today?" I've always wondered about this. I've seen folks speed read before and I'm just amazed at the fact that they can go through pages of text in under 10 seconds and comprehend it all. This would be a worthwhile skill to learn.
