Pretty big, actually (at least the one I saw). Of course at ~50^3 voxels
and 10 Hz refresh (according to the quote), there might be problems in 
trying to watch a football game using the current model. :-)

As far as sensational news reporting in general goes, bear in mind that we're 
using up the "amazing inventions of the future" newsreels from the 1940's and
thereabout at an alarming rate. We have to think about posterity, and leave
behind our fair share of sensational predictions for future generations
to chuckle at. ;-)
