It's worth clarifying that I do believe photonic computers are incredibly exciting. I was just a little annoyed at how the news report appeared to focus on the wrong attributes. I have little doubt that the researcher interviewed spoke at length about the subject, but there's an incredible challenge involved in boiling this kind of information down to a 60 second news spot. I guess that's what it takes to keep people excited about science though. Not everyone is going to be interested in the nitty gritty.
