"This article makes a lot of extraordinary claims. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

Does it? It just sounds like a normal memristor to me.

In the same sense as you might refer to a "normal" quantum computer or "normal" cancer cure, I guess.

The phrasing in the article is a little wishy washy, but it sounds like this company is going to production with a TB-per-IC-density non volatile storage product. If true, that's huge news.

Memristor does not seem to be normal neither. Is there any on the market?

No, but they've been expected to be on the market any day now for the past year or two. HP's been doing tons of research and prep work in commercializing them:

The last I heard was second quarter 2014 by HP, that's been the release date for the last year or so. Supposedly they could release them now, but they are trying to time the market for business reasons.

Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean anything. I don't mean that to be snide, but just to point out that you may have encountered a limit in your own knowledge. I've known about memristors for years and have been waiting to see a product come to market. They're interesting devices, you should read up on them. Also, search back through HN as there have been several worthwhile discussions of the technology.
