But don't trade in your conventional computing power just yet. Like other quantum information platforms, molecular computing is in its infancy; we understand some of its mechanisms, but it's difficult to execute and there are still a lot of unknowns. Further, researchers aren't quite sure how they could integrate such technology into something that works the way we're used to our computers working.
Either you're right, and it's all a fairy tale, or you're wrong and you'll burn in Hell.

That's just what they want you to think. Secretly, they already have a quantum computer that can decrypt anything near-instantly. They call it TRANSLTR. Okay, maybe not, but it would make a great Dan Brown novel.

Mark my words: Apple will not partner with Bing. The reason for this is simple: Bing is an inferior product. Don't believe me? Using Bing for any length of time evidences this. I'll give you a simple example. Let's say you want the carbon Firefox icon. You search for "carbon firefox."
Now, they share many sites, but out of the links provided more of the Bing results go astray. Bing, for example, decides it's horribly relevant to link you to The Carbon County Chamber of Commerce.
Your assertion that Apple isn't large enough to create their own search engine is also preposterous. How many employees does Yahoo! have? About 14,000. How many employees does Apple have? About 35,000. Apple will not partner with Bing because Bing simply isn't better than Google. Apple would likely create their own search engine before doing so.
As a side-note, that carbon Firefox icon is pretty nice.
"While it is not ready for prime time yet, it is a promising OS that is being ported to many platforms and uses the user friendly Amiga GUI we Amiga users grew up with."
Yeah, Amiga's a promising OS. It's just like my ex-girlfriend's promise to be loyal to me.
To me, the fun and quality of Sonic games are inversely proportional to how many characters they've added to its universe. So, the "Sonic universe," by it's very existance, makes me sad for the franchise.
To me the fun and quality of Sonic games are properly proportional to how many 2d walls I get my blue spinning guy to smash through.

What is not insightful is pointing out that modern virus scanners can unpack some forms of executable compression. I promise, there are easily made custom forms of compression they are not familiar with unpacking, which is the whole point -- only takes one hole to sink the ship and only takes a person with a blunt instrument to make a hole.

At least in the olden (DOS) days, when McAfee came upon a pklite'd executable, it would unpack and scan the unpacked executable. I would hope that current antivirus programs would do the same.
Even if the virus scanner scans for pklite'd executables, you can always write your own unique executable compressor or modify an existing one until your executable is non-detectable.
Virus scanners are like front door locks. Any serious cat burglar is just going to grappling hook to the roof and cut a hole through strait into the attic bypassing the door lock entirely.
"What is most worrying is that this particular sample of malware wasn't recognized by existing antivirus software. It was able to slip through enterprise defenses," said Yankee Group security analyst Andrew Jaquith, who learned of the breach from Morris. "This is a serious threat. It shows how sophisticated hackers have become," Haro said.
This is not sophistication.
1. Take any virus/trojan that is recognized by antivirus software. 2. Put it through an executable compression package to make its code vary from what it used to be on the hard drive or in memory. 3. Viola! Your malware is now stealthed from any antivirus program.
Either that was rather simple or I am a seriously dangerous hacker.
...as Truphone CEO James Tagg pointed out in a press release. 'The injunction is good news not only for Truphone but for every company trying to develop Internet-era services and for every consumer wanting freedom of choice and lower prices.
Sadly, because he was delivering the press release over a cell phone using VoIP it came out as:
A whiteout is a severe snow condition. A brownout is a power fluctuation. And a blackout is what the corporate lawyers give you for generalizing their trademarked terms.

I believe the sophistication is question is the combination of the targets, the undetectible malware, and the delivery method. Not the malware itself.
So the sophistication was the delivery method -- email! Now my Grandma is a hacker too!
