There's a Canon and a Nikon one as well.
These made me LOL
From the link above:
The technical wizards at Sony have found a way to suck more light down onto each individual photocell on their latest sensor. This results in a signal that completely overwhelms quantum noise, delivering a clean image right up to ISO 6,400.
The increased 'sensitivity' is achieved by seeding each photocell with a tiny black hole. These black holes then suck in a lot more light than would otherwise be the case, literally flooding each photocell.
The new process has other benefits too. For example, it tends to force the light into straight lines, allowing manufacturers to do away with expensive 'extra dispersion' glass.
Sony technicians say this process isn't compatible with CMOS sensors, because the extra transistors surrounding each photocell tend to be pulled down into the black hole along with light. The result is a clogged up sensor that stops working before it even leaves the fabrication plant.
