Title: Was Einstein wrong about the constant 'c'?

I was doing my daily reading of nerd news, and I came across this blog. They said that scientists have made light go faster than what Einstein proved!  :o

I think Einstein postulated that the speed of light was constant in a vacuum.  That light slows down in other media is well known.  I have read some reports of "faster than light" effects mostly dealing with "quantum tunneling", but light going faster than light ... news to me.  As Spock would say: fascinating.
