I've been seeing news stories like this every couple of years for most of my life, and yet storage technology just continues to plod along at the same pace it always has. Nothing ever comes of it.

Same. It's kind of a shame that folks forgot the word "vaporware" and what it means.

Vaporware is when software devs make claims about how great their yet-to-be-written software will be. Then, they never create it, either out of a lack of skill, time, or funding. Vaporware has, by definition, no proof of concept.

Hardware is a bit harder to call “Vaporware” since presumably they have working prototypes.
