I will spend the rest of the day trying to determine the best possible use for that extra second.

This means that it will keep time to within one second over 100 million years. That's good enough for me! I call and sync my wristwatch with the Naval Observatory's clock once in a while.

What a relief! You’ll never again miss your flight, your doctor or IRS appointment!

Just think (and appreciate) of the precision this discovery is sure to add to the records the NSA has on us all!

Just a quibble. But the title of the article is really misleading. Time has not been “redefined” nor is there a “new second.”
All the clock does is demonstrate the POSSIBILITY of measuring a second more accurately than existing clocks.
