    I am treated this way normally everyday at every company I work for. IT is a cost center and you work for the executives. It's a vastly different world than your programming or Unix admin post. It sucks but what can you do

    Easy, learn Linux admin skills and wave bye bye.

    Hey CEO, been a slice, as you know the most rapid way to improve your salary is to change employers.

    Consider learning some respect.

    LibreOffice is perfect for occasional home use, or a student writing a term paper. In a corporate environment, Microsoft Office is still a requirement.

    If Microsoft Office is a requirement at your place of work then you are working at the wrong place.

    In the post-Oracle vs Google world, make sure you have a license for any APIs you are using.

    Even better, steer well clear of any proprietary language platform.

  6. one needs to remember that an interpretation is just that, and doesn't in and of itself predict any particular physical realization.

    Superposition isn't an interpretation, it's an experimentally verified fact of nature.

  7. The livescience article is dumb, while the Nature article is serious. The terminology used is cat state, not laser cat.

    On a quick scan and with my limited knowledge of the field, it seems that they verify the photons are in superposition by virtual of conforming to quantum as opposed to classical statistics. They don't attempt to transmit information via individual photons.

    If the physicists involved in the experiment actually described anything as "flying optical cat states" then they, and their lab, should be burned to the ground, with the 'journalist' inside.

    They do in fact use that phase, here in context: "We then employ the entanglement to control the flying optical cat state by means of a coherent rotation and subsequent measurement of the atomic spin direction." But don't get out your torch and pitchfork just yet, it seems that cat state is actually accepted terminology.

    Apple revoked the certificate intentionally as an act of sabotage, pure and simple. Now go ahead and try to justify the unjustifiable, that would be very Apple of you.

    You're right, Apple won't be banned inside GOOG and FB, it will be quarantined. And employees will wave Apple products around inside corporate HQ at risk to their career trajectory.

    Sabotage is the correct word for it regardless of what Google did. Two wrongs do not make a right. Or did your mother fail to teach you that?
