The crux of the story is, despite billions in R&D and technical and cost improvements that outstrip Moore's law by better than 50%, the industry sees commodity products and almost zero demand for the current progress of magnetic storage technology.
That much we basically already knew. But the story is also an inside look at some of the lower levels of manufacturing, something we almost never hear about.
At one point I registered on the front page with username = Mercutio. Have the logins been rebooted since I last played around on the frontpage?

If it was the offical front page (IE not the "area 51" or beta site) then nothing has been purged or lost. There are 6 names that have not been activated, perhaps one of them is yours?
I can only see the e-mail address, not the username registered. I looked through the front page list and there are only 42 active names and none are named Mercutio.

Hmpf. I know I registered. Maybe I got disconnected or something during the process.
