The cube was described in a couple of articles as "about the size of a
sugar cube." My "minute" might be a slight understatement, but I'd hardly
call it "pretty big" either! They also say that "in a number of years" (as
opposed to the Wired reporter's "early next year") they might actually get
it as big as a standard computer monitor, which still isn't very big for a
TV image!
