This is a few months old, but I just came across it and it is so very very cool.
Some researchers at the University of Tokyo are working on a truly high speed book scanner. The scanner works by letting you rapidly flip theĀ pages of a book in front of a high-speed camera. When this video was made, they could scan a 200-page book in one minute. (It’s probably faster by now.)

It may be old, but I love it now just as much as when I saw it the first time. I use it often in debates of the inevitable futility of DRM!
