1979 called, and they want their "Intel Magnetics 7110" one megabit bubble memory chips back. At the time, it seemed that bubble memory would supplant disk, tape, and even core memory (RAM to you). Maybe memristors will happen.

Is this article trying to milk an Ig Nobel Prize?

This will be really useful after the nuclear winter.

Can't wait to use the AWS version of this.

Perhaps it will become their cheapest tier of Amazon Glacier?

How did they come up with this idea?

Probably inspired by the first Michael Bay Transformers movie.
