I grew up in the States but never was a citizen. In second grade after a while of this silly ceremony I asked the teacher if I really had to participate, because it didn't really apply to me. And the teacher was totally cool with it!

It was even wierder afterwards, being the only one sitting and watching everyone.

Read that the battery life of the Go isn't remarkable. How is it used as a tablet?

But this is not just any abacus, it's one that calculates all the results at once. That is a disruptive leap forward in computing power.

Because quantum physics. A qubit isn't 0 or 1, it's both and everything in between. You get a result as a distribution, not as distinct values.

Qubits are represented as (for example) quantumly entangled electron spins. And due to the nature of quantum physics, they are not very stable, and you cannot measure a value without influencing it.

Granted, my knowledge of quantum computing is very hand-wavy.

To this day I can't fully understand why they did it.

One word: ads.

With RSS, you have content from various sources in one place, stripped of the ads, without any cookielicious tracking. How are you supposed to monitize that?

You see, this is why atomic desktops aren't a bad idea.

Commercial breaks? What about "Sting Ray Bob's Team Goodheart Animal Health Centers car is coming in for a fresh set of Firestone sticker reds and a new tank of Shell racing fuel!"
