Quantum computing is a long way to go before becoming truly public , but certainly did not stop to indulge in dreams of a qubit based existence . The last bit of fantasy fodder comes from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where researchers have become the first to combine a quantum processor with mechanisms of memory on a single chip. To do this, Mariantoni Matteo and his team of scientists associated with a two-qubit quantum bus and connected each to a memory element that can store their current values ​​in the same way that the RAM stores data on computers classic. These links qubit sheet also contained pictures of resonators – jagged, yet easily controlled circuits that can store values ​​for shorter periods. Qubits, meanwhile, were built using superconducting circuits, allowing the team to UCSB to nest their qubits even close, according to von Neumann architecture which governs most commercial computers. Once everything was in place, the researchers used their system to run complex algorithms and operations that could possibly be used to decode the encryption. The next step, of course, is to develop the design, although Mariantoni said that should not be a problem too, thanks to its system of resonators – which he said, are the future of quantum computing with integrated circuits .

So as tablets this week at IFA. Archos pair of Honeycomb slate may not have won the same kind of excitement that, say yesterday tab Samsung Galaxy 7.7 or Toshiba AT200 , but there are many interesting things happening with the G9 G9 80 and 101 . From the aesthetic point of view, they are pretty nice equipment for research (the 80 and 101 looks essentially the same except for the difference in footprint and size of the screen), if they are not quite on-par with the two tablets mentioned above, in terms of build. Among other things, they are a bit on the side and squat glasses large enough.

As these devices, the G9 tablets launch Android 3.2, but much less scratched up version of the Samsung device. And 1.5 GHz processor ensures that they can manage the operating system with ease. Archos tablets are also a few tricks up their sleeve group. Turn the device over, and you will find a crutch on one side and a slot on the other that opens to reveal a USB stick designed for the 3G business owners.

Also impressive is the ability to configure their hard drives up to 250GB – a pretty amazing amount in the tablet world. We got to spend some hands-on time with both – a video after the break.

Lasers do everything better, including (without limitation): the microphones , the kidneys and the electric Audi A2 concept. This latest flight of fancy uses a laser diode as the rear fog lamp, which projects a red triangle on the road to let other drivers know you are there. The German car maker has tricked out the rest of the lighting system of the EV and implementing beam technology matrix using LED and microreflectors – giving high-resolution, glare-beams and smart rear lights that change in intensity depending on weather conditions. Claim other state-of-the-art features such as gesture commands instead of keys, and brake lights shining more the more you press, it seems that it would turn a pretty sweet – if it ever makes it to market. No word on the other, insignificant details (you know, like what actually powers the thing) but there are many more on the lighting system of the car in the PR after the break.

astroengine wrote A vehicle suborbital space experiment developed by Blue Origin, a startup founded by space Amazon.com chief Jeff Bezos, was lost during a test flight last week. During the flight secret, the vehicle reached an altitude of 45,000 feet and reached a speed of Mach 1.2. Soon after, things were really bad. instability led a flight angle of attack that triggered our security system to terminate the broad thrust on the vehicle, said an optimistic Bezos in his statement Friday.

Building 2011 Sub-$ 200 computer

Adeelars links to reflect the recent PC Magazine (update of a similar detailed search last year) to see if one could put together decent PC for under $ 200. It turns out that among some large business an AMD processor and a Linux OS, it can actually be done.

They come away with a decent enough for the money – but omitting an optical drive in a desktop full size seems to build something like cheating.

[JavaScript] Toolkit provides many built-in methods and utilities to help enrich the library of JavaScript objects JavaScript was originally built for sailors and as such does not have a large number of methods of data utility. with are seen in languages ​​such as Python and Ruby. But times have changed and the JavaScript is used increasingly in server platforms. JS Toolkit aims to fill this gap and give everyone a modern developer needs to produce code fast, secure and tidy quickly and easily. The toolkit fully supports ECMAScript and 5 virtual machines running on the most important that we have today, including Node.JS, V8, Rhino, RingoJS, and many others. It continues to be actively developed .

rtfa-troll writes Bruce Schneier has a good article explaining how the Guardian published the encryption key for cables Wikileaks and destroyed the main protection against the release of personal information whistleblower. Comments in the blog Schneier register the details of exactly how Wikileaks file security protections side were also bypassed. Now the Guardian has an article Assange risk arrest by Australia during the last flight, which includes information about an Australian intelligence agent. They even said, We deplore the decision to publish the Wikileaks cables unredacted State Department, which can put the sources at risk, and move on to state that The decision to publish by Julian Assange was the his, and him alone. Something that seems clearly debunked in the analysis Schneier’s blog.

Submitter Josnes first time accepted, writes: Today, I discovered that Moonlight Tricorder app, I always install on Android, is over. Google received a DMCA letter to CBS. I think it’s a shame that CBS thinks he needs to kill a free and open source project providing an application add-less. For my part, sent a message to CBS by saying that this app is not supported fan bad, but good for them, and asked them to reconsider. I hope, especially for the author who has spent much time in this app, what they do.
