We hear a lot about quantum computers these days. They’re supposed to work almost like magic.
We’re even told to choose a certain VPN because they’re “quantum proof”!
The trouble is, even most experts agree we’re not ‘there’ yet. Far from being an impending breakthrough, quantum computing is still quite experimental – but you’d never know it from reading the stories in the news.
On the plus side, it just so happens that quantum computers raise fundamental questions about the very nature of reality! Which is nice.

I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it any more!! (great movie, Network was…)
As if it wasn’t bad enough that Intel couldn’t write a driver that takes full advantage of the GMA500 in certain netbooks, now apparently they’ve resorted to sneakily “modifying” what “Enhanced SpeedStep” actually does.
I’m talking about the Celeron dual-core SU2300 processor in those fabulous “thin and light” notebooks that are quickly replacing netbooks so that everyone (except you) can make more money.
So, what’s the problem? The SU2300 does not have the “SpeedStep” that you think it does… which explains why no one can get it to work!
