Magentic storage has an advantage of being extremely tolerant of physical shock. Mechanical switches such as this are not. Imagine a notebook drive with this technology where all the bits flip to 0 everytime you toss it into your backpack.
"It's as though a billion tiny switches cried out in terror and were suddenly flipped"
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinburgh) had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian Republic" some 2,000 years prior.
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From Bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."
I'm pretty sure we're right in around the apathy phase...

Actually, if you read your own links you would see that there IS a reference to it.
This from your own link: "The site's name is apparently derived from googol, but note the difference in spelling."
Actually, its the second of four. That makes it a pattern of failure rather than an anomoly. It also means the failure rate is rather high. Although ISS isn't "spinning out of control", there's is certainly a danger here that is not to be minimized.
BayStar is almost certainly the catalyst for this latest ploy. That $50 million in venture capital goes a long way towards making headlines while the courts hear arguments over the legitimacy of the GPL.
Keep your eye on the mark, don't get distracted by shadows. This is all about grabbing big headlines and pumping that stock, not the actual merits of the case.
