The 2007 Physics Nobel for…

Wait for it. The Mp3 player! Well, not exactly, but the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is boasting that without the awarded physics process, called magnetoresistance (magnet plus neato), you could kiss magnetic hard drives, including the MP3 and the Ipod, adios amigo. I like my IRiver Mp3 player, which is a heck of a lot cheaper than an Ipod, just fine. But, really. I can well understand Snoopy the Goon’s pique.
