If true this could the breakthrough that we've been looking for. Life other than carbon based can possibly exist.

Someone already mentioned that.
And it isn't Aresenic based, in the way that everything is carbon based, it's more that the bacteria lives in an aresenic rich environment, and uses aresenic like most otheres use phosphorous.
Interesting to say the least, and definitely a breakthrough in what we know about requirements for life, but not the kind of breakthrough you're talking about.
