Engadget. It's the classier, more popular version of Gizmodo.
What is important for construction is the load before the metal begins to yield. If the material yields very early, it doesn't matter how well it snaps back into shape, because it you won't actually be able to build a structure out of the stuff. Just look at some plastics, they are very springy, but try make anything out of the them, and the entire structure starts to flex and sway.
Short version: A material actually needs some stiffness to be practical
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
