Exciting as ever, now could one of these storage density breakthroughs finally get round to being included in a product? Even if it's at some ridiculous price range that's only suitable for commercial use, it would be nice to get the ball rolling at least.

How is data read from this? Textured surface makes it sound like it'll be with direct contact similar to a vinyl in which case won't it wear down quickly.

No, it's the same hands-off approach as planar storage. This Pikiwedia page explains the concept pretty well.

Honestly, I would not mind my bank account being randomly changed. It has no where to go but up.
