Theoretical Data Speed Limit

This is an interesting article, but I found the last paragraph especially amusing...

"Certainly we are not going to start packaging linear accelerators into hard disk drives . . . "

I can see the advertisements now:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the current Nasa mission is successful, then couldn't they implement the ability to slow down time to "increase" the speed for many applications, including this?.
