Wow, the compact disc turns 25 today. I remember my friend Josh throwing these "indestructible" discs around his room in the mid '80's. Then I remember listening to his CD of Pink Floyd's The Wall:

While some news outlets have a tendency toward sensationalism and hysteria, I've noticed that NPR reporters sometimes tend to understate the case a bit. Example from this morning, and I might be paraphrasing a little:

I would have said it answers those questions, but what the hey.
