nuur writes "Researchers at the Australian National University have
developed a new form of optical memory that allows [0]random access to
stored optical quantum information. Pulses of light are stored on a kind
of 'optical conveyor-belt' that is controlled with a magnetic field. By
manipulating the magnetic field, the conveyor-belt can be moved, allowing
the recall of any part of the stored optical information. The research is
[1]published in Nature." You'll probably know after reading the abstract
linked whether you'd be in the market to pay for the whole thing.

that powers FriendFeed's real-time functionality, which Facebook
maintains. While Tornado is similar to existing Web-frameworks in Python,
it focuses on speed and handling large amounts of simultaneous traffic."

by [4]KD : Drew McCormack has a post up speculating on [5]what Apple's

That said, it seems newsworthy that Oracle is going out of their way with
some aggressive marketing directed at IBM to state clearly their plans to
[1]put more money than Sun does now into SPARC and Solaris." MySQL is not
mentioned in this ad, perhaps because (as Matt Asay speculates) the EU is
looking closely into that aspect of the proposed acquisition.

[0]KentuckyFC writes "Having created [1]quantum superpositions of
photons, atoms, and even molecules, scientists are currently preparing to
do the same for larger objects ��� namely viruses. The technique will
involve storing a virus in a vacuum and then cooling it to its
quantum-mechanical ground state in a microcavity. Zapping the virus with
a laser then leaves it in a superposition of its ground state and an
excited one. That's no easy task, however. The virus will have to survive
the vacuum, behave like a dielectric, and appear transparent to the laser
light, which would otherwise tear it apart. Now a group of researchers
has worked out that [2]several viruses look capable of surviving the
superposition process, including the common flu virus and the tobacco
mosaic virus. They point out that after creating the superposition,
scientists will be able to perform the Schrodinger's Cat experiment for
the first time, which should be fun (but less so for the virus)."

hours, the mice acted normally, including eating and drinking. The strong
magnetic fields did not seem to have any negative impacts on the mice in
the short term, and past studies have shown that rats did not suffer from
adverse effects after 10 weeks of strong, non-levitating magnetic
fields."

EA has come under heavy fire lately for some [0]deliberately shady PR
techniques. You can't argue with the result, however, that has pretty
much everyone (including us) talking about it. The question is: will
extensive discussion, and the resulting widespread anger that seems to
accompany it, actually help their game sales? Stunts have ranged from
their "win a date with a booth babe" contest to paying game site editors
a faux "bribe" to fit with their sin motif. "Outraged Christian bloggers,
complaining female and LGBT gamers, editors being sent checks made out
directly to them ��� all of this makes for delicious copy, and much of the
gnashing of teeth seems to be centered on the fact that the gaming press
continues to fall for the contrived controversy to give the company
exactly what it wants: coverage. The campaign has been childish, daring,
and borderline tasteless. Writing checks directly to game writers is
cheaper than advertising on a site, with a much better result."

is, until their certificates expire. You'll still be able to install
existing Extras through the Windows desktop client, and you'll still see
them featured in the Skype shop. Skype will also continue to maintain its
public API. Since many Skype Extras are sold to users as premium content,
the shut down also has a financial impact for profiting developers.
They'll have [...] until December 11, to continue using Skype Credit.
Developers will need to submit a final invoice by January 25th; after
that Skype will shutter its third-party shop."

"Active shutter 3D technology once again did not fail to impress, though
large format action content like the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony
and action sports footage was far more impressive than the movie trailer.
The benefit of a picture where everything, regardless of distance from
the camera, is in focus is one of the biggest benefits 3D has going for
it and nothing makes that more apparent than video from a large stadium.
Aside from a few glitches from a pair of the glasses being low on battery
and flickering annoyingly throughout, the framerate was smooth and the
picture sharp, a marked difference from the jittery motion we witnessed
during JVC's 3D demo earlier in the day."

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The folks at The Register have gotten their hands on Sun's confidential
roadmap from June, which outlines [0]the company's plans for SPARC
product lines. The chart has some [1]basic technical details for the
UltraSPARC T-series and the SPARC64 line. The long-anticipated "Rock"
line is not mentioned. "We can expect a goosed SPARC64-VII+ chip any day
now, which will run at 2.88 GHz and which will be a four-core,
eight-threaded chip like its 'Jupiter' predecessor. This Jupiter+ chip is
implemented in the same 65 nanometer process as the Jupiter chip was, and
it is made by Fujitsu, a company that is in the process of outsourcing
its chip manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. ...
not only has Sun cut back on the threads with [the 2010 UltraSPARC model,
codenamed Rainbow Falls], it has also cut back on the socket count,
keeping it at the same four sockets used by the T5440 server. And instead
of hitting something close to 2 GHz as it should be able to do as it
shifts from a 65 nanometer to a 45 nanometer process in the middle of
2010, Sun is only telling customers that it can boost clock speeds to
1.67 GHz with Rainbow Falls."
