I guess you should mention mind-reading and remote viewing while you're at it... and the fact that "there are no secrets"
If someone is looking over your shoulder they're breaking the security measures not the crypto. But I agree with your point since you were talking about security measures anyhow.
However taking this quantum cryptography stuff (which in itself is just a security measure), the idea is to prevent someone in the middle from compromising the data, rather than someone who has compromised the sender or the receiver. Without quantum, someone in the middle can grab the data and go crack it or whatever, without being noticed. With quantum, theoretically, someone in the middle can't touch the data without screwing it up. Of course there is always the possibility of developing technology which will overcome this, but until that happens its pretty damn secure.
I'm not afraid of China.. What are they going to do? DoS us? Send viruses? Send their best hackers after us? oh i'm so scared. They can't do anything that hasn't been done before as far as the internet and computers are concerned.
bah.. the Sims are for girls. Quoting the article: "Over 50 percent of new Sims players are female." I spent about 5 minutes trying this game and decided the controls were too much of a pain and the game didn't seem too exciting, so I erased it.
Zoot!

All I got to say is this:

Hmmm.. Their website, PetsWarehouse.com, doesn't seem to responding.
