That's from Shadowtech, and I'll dispell everyone's doubts: it says the
"transistors" have two states: green and red. By shining a laser at it,
the material changes from one color to the other, and thus it is still a
binary system. Now if it were a red/green/blue switch-thingie, it wouldn't
be a binary computer. As written up in Shadowtech, though, it's binary all
the way.
