chatty narrative by NoSleepDemon · 2010-10-26 05:41 · Score: 4, Insightful

Interesting but the chatty narrative is really annoying and is getting in the way of the actual useful information

But by observing the article, you're changing it. Does that mean it will explain it to you...but not to me? :)

Sorry to be so negative but in my opinion the article is horrible. It doesn't explain anything unless you think bad analogies and jovial metaphors help you understand things better. After having read it, I don't know a single qubit more about quantum computers than before.
