For the first time ever, IBM Research is to make quantum computing available to members of the public on IBM Cloud, allowing users to access and run experiments on their five-qubit quantum processor. Read more
Graphene and quantum computer could make the Technological singularity arrive sooner than expected. (at least in secret labs...). Interesting article (2 years old) on Moore's Law, Graphene, Quantum computing and IBM: IBM invests $3bn in graphene semiconductor research It seems IBM has something to show from that 3 Billion investment.
I'm sure there is a cure for cancer but if they release it, we will live a lot longer and we will over-populate this planet and we will exhaust all natural resources before we are able to travel in outer space to colonize other planets.
Over-population is not problem. Global warming is not a problem. Natural resources? Not a problem, we do not mine deep, we currently can only scratch surface. Problem is toxicity. We are polluting everything. We may suffocate even if current human and animal population got reduced to 1/2 as current approximation has plankton in ocean to be source of 50~85% of oxygen.
This is cool. IBM do seem to have taken over the "don't be evil" motto that Google forgot some time ago.
