"Hitachi recently announced that it has developed a medium that can outlast ... CDs, DVDs, hard drives and MP3s."
One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong.

Which is a shame, because the notion that flash memory's organization of semiconductor charges into bits is only temporary and will randomize itself over time, is sort of important to consumers. At the process sizes in modern flash memory, it was shocking to me to find out that all three of the others will last longer.
