That is so darn cool. When I first opened it, I thought there is no way playing with blocks will keep me watching this video for 7 minutes. but it did.

Maybe it was just me, but one of the first thoughts I had was "how could I use those with SFB/C?"
Those gadgets are simply amazing. I can see pretty much anyone of any age using them, from tiny toddler's stacking them (as shown) to grown old people playing dominos in the old folks' home. Heck, even multiple choice exams for students, tic-tac-toe... Assuming a decent capacity, you could load songs onto a handful of them and "dump" them into a "player" block (perhaps attatched to a stereo) just before your party - where others can bring their own and so the same, so the music stays fresh throughout the night... There isn't an emoticon that sufficiently covers how very awsome these are.
heh... one more possibility -> 12 blocks could net you 12 digi-roses for V-tine's Day...

OH, I can see so many uses that it boggles the mind, also can see many draw backs. But with storage tech getting as advanced as it is, they are a cool idea.

Neat idea, yet I get the vision of people plooping their siftables down next to someone elses at parties to see what kind of sex the siftables go for. Not that it is a bad thing, or a good thing, just that sex is gonna find it's way into this somewhere. New idea, old nature.
