The press release that's making the rounds today is the NSF's announcement of a breakthrough in storage tech. My favorite part of Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather comes when a character bored by a bus ride cracks open his laptop and starts browsing through the contents of the Library of Congress. I can't tell you how excited I am to see that idea approach reality.

Of course, it does throw a few curveballs at yesterday's link du jour, a rebuttal to the RIAA's claims of how easy it is to transport large files.
