I had hoped something like this would be discovered. It might just wake up the lemmings that flocked to a new, untried, untested in the real world device.
It annoys me the way the masses line up to get some new piece of tech thinking they'll be instantly cool and socially hip by owning one. Then it amuses me to see how much of their time is devoted to it daily... tinkering with it, showing off everything it can do to everybody they know.
.... maybe even making a phone call on it.
Then one day, the inevitable happens. It crashes and they just can't understand why. Then it crashes a lot. Then it gets trashed and becomes another techy device no one gives a crap about anymore.
DRM schmeeee RM! I grow weary of all this legislation lobbied by the RIAA and MPAA. Their brick-and-mortar way of rakin in the big bucks is dying and they panic. I wonder how much they spend rying to save money that isn't getting stolen??? Just because one method of delivery is under attack doesn't mean the end of streaming either. People get very innovative when the want something they been told they cannot have. It wouldn't surprise me the see a new method of streaming arise from it all. Remember the sharpie marker defeating Sony's copy protected CD? ...and remember there's always the analog hole too. If you can hear it, or see it, you can copy it & broadcast it!
Hello Superconductivity!! It's the easiest way to a more efficient use of energy. So many things in our lives depend on electricity (understatement indended) that it only makes sense to bring this tech to it's fruition.
I really hope to see superconductivity come into our daily lives soon.

If you follow the link it leads to a short BBC story akin to pub draught conversation.... cheers!
