Oh come on. Most houses contain some sort of corning product. Insulation, Windows, etc. I'm certain that Corning would have been just fine. Corning has a huge construction material market. Gorilla glass is a pimple compared to the rest of their business.

Materials science is a fasinating subject that it seems to many people take for granted. While this PR video didn't tell us to much I could watch decent videos about engineering all day long. So many small wonders.

Lotus glass? Fantastic!

I have driven a Lotus and they are fast and more importantly, they corner brilliantly. I hope the next iPhone comes with a standard transmission, as I hate sequential shift.

I liked the Esprit turbo though never could afford one. I wonder how you would corner in an iPhone :) johnny I've is getting rid of complications just using a manual interface:)
