    This was on digg today.

    Corning developed a super glass back in 1962, but no real applications for it.

    So I'm thinking hmmm........ Oh wait I know, Aquariums that don't scratch!!!!!

    Either that, or problems with scaling the manufacturing process to reliably produce large sizes or thicknesses.

    I don't know I thought the part of adding $30 to $60 to the price of a TV might be saying a little about it.

    But what a small price for having a scratch proof tank. It could last a very very long time.


    Anybody out there know about Gorilla Glass??
