But Hitachi/IBM Almaden has done good tech work to make that happen (where that == increasing areal density almost a magnitude of order). The press release hit all the usual geek news outlets a couple of days ago - I'm impressed Hitachi approved the $ to create that ad though, that's quite a surprise...
The first drives are about 18 months out. I'm certain Maxtor will be releasing some magic to compete soon, but I can about guarantee there won't be any dancing bits ;-)
(1) They figured out that all us technogeeks grew up watching Schoolhouse rock. You could put the first half of that along side any of those, and it would fit well, I think.
(2) In that medium, they STILL managed to get across enough technical details of how it works to make it interesting to the same technogeeks!
THAT should win marketing awards. That's arguably the best tech marketing I have ever seen.

If only my paycheck rose at the same rate ;-)
