Lenovo Drops Laptop from Plane in "Boot or Bust"

In an interesting video, Lenovo dropped a T420s from a plane to see if it could boot fast enough to save itself. What they did was set a program to auto-start after Windows 7 starts up that ejects the CD drive, which then triggers a switch that deploys a parachute. The push of the power button, start-up, and ejection all happen in ten seconds. While the dropping-from-a-plane is just a stunt, it displays something incredible: a ten-second boot time. Check out the video here, and the how-they-did-it video here.
