The thing is it really isn't "teleportation" in the typical sense of instantaneous travel. The photons still move at the speed of light, this method just happens to be useful for taking cryptographic advantage of the quantum properties of photons.

It also bothers me that the article specifically says the "information" is teleported, as it seems like the author is going out of his/her way to imply a violation of the No Communication Theorem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem), which is not in any way violated by the experiment.
