Wednesday's Un-Random News:
For starters there has been recent brake throughs in quantum computing. It's been shown that you can take highly entangled clusters of many particles (i.e., a bunch of photons) and make some modifications to these photons and then they can do some "computing tasks". The entangled photons create a quantum logic circuit. The down side being this processes is only one way (i.e., not reversable). The up side is this may lead to experimental implementations of quantum computing. Basically, quantum computing just took one more step towards becoming real.
