Dear Food Stamp Recipient,
Understanding food is hard. Many times, you wondered why your frozen chicken tastes bad after sitting on the porch for a couple of days. Also, why does green bread make tummy aches? It hard, we know.

But they only work with a large enough group of people. Letters can be thrown away, but sackloads of letters and declining sales get the point across.
Politicians will always be corrupt (since they're at least corruptible). Companies aim to make money.
They can only get away with it when the people just don't care.
On a side note, the technology is impractical - buffering doesn't matter - unless the stream is multicasted, a large enough group will either bring down the server/s, or impose a huge bill for bandwidth.

They also suggest using this technology in flat screen displays.
An article on the subject, and an article by the inventor himself (scroll down a bit).
Now, this is way out of my league, as IANAQP, but this sounds psuedo-scientific to me. Am I wrong?
Also, check their R&D unknowns.
