Same story as always, though this one is actually less credible than the last couple. I don't doubt that some of these technologies exist, but like the 100 + MPG carburator (forgive my imperialness oh/.ites), they will never see the light of day. Well not soon at least.
Why you ask?
Simple. The stuff that really honest-to-God works is killed off, ususually by making the inventor a millionaire via buyout (though the corporataions and conglomerates try to spend as little $$$ as possible here). Second, the technology often runs into a fatal flaw (wait stand perfectly still.... don't breath **cough** YOU IDIOT, YOU BROKE IT!!!... the flux capacitor alone will cost how much to produce?!?) etc. Lastly, it might just be too far ahead of it's time to ever be accepted... it is laughed off as a joke (this is the ultra-rare).
We have all heard this type of story before (though the last one mentioned desity in credit card areas and pennies (small round US coinage:)
Food for thought: I'm still just waiting for a dual Athlon to become available.... ohhh maybe that 8 MB of L3 cache on the Micron chipset too... don't set your hopes too high. (side note, I love Athlons, in a healthy, non- sexual way:)
