Have you checked out the quasi announcement of the ASICMINER company?
You should - because it can
reshape the public perception of bitcoin.
It will strengthen the perception as the currency of freedom.

Mining can be done with USB-sticks soon. First impression in the companys forum was:
"If this is gonna be sold en masse,
you just militarized the user base"
"ASICMINER/bitfountain just
stepped up from being a highly profitable mining company
to being an asset to the whole bitcoin community as
game changing hardware provider"
300mhas/s from USB - and likely on the market before anything BFL ships
