I read about this earlier today on tech-report.com...  IBM busts drive
barrier with "pixie dust" (and as tech-report humorously mentions, no,
they're not snorting it, it's a thin layer (3 atoms thick) of the precious
metal ruthenium).

I like tech-report's mention that "Scientists at IBM's Alamden Research
Center in San Jose need to get out more."
