In the last years of the cold war, CIA used IR(infrared) detectors to read the vibration of glass window pane to hear Russian language being spoken.

Today, we use power line to collect your brainwaves and read them by cryogenic amplifiers. This is the universal health care system that we are working on with some success in 2008. We can rejuvenate your carbon atoms in your braincells by servomechnism(of atomic transmutation) to give you youth and thus good health.

SunMicro had hardware problems of contact resistance(0.1 ohm became 40,000 ohms) from vibrations; not being able to locate anywhere near elevators, if you don't want data lost forever, unexpectedly.

Now Brandon reported in his blog, their hard disk drives can not be shouted at? The latency behavior is caused by vibration on the head distance to the disk. Data had to be resend many times?

Sun can use boundary lubricant(vaseline) for contact resistance problem easily. And head arm assembly can be detuned from critical resonance. But it shows Sun need some help from MIT vibration experts(they only use clamps or dashpots which is the inertia on the flying height of heads or static balance).
