  1. Re:Que? on First Quantum Byte Created · · Score: 1

    But the article isn't talking about storing values. provides a computing matrix of 65536 mostly independent elements

    Once the calculation is finished there is only one value, between 0 and 255 but before a measurement is made the qubit is esentially a supposition of every possible value.

    That's my understanding of it anyway. I'm most probably wrong, quantum mechanics was never a strong point of mine.

    8 bits allow for 256 numbers.

    8 qubits, however allow for 256*256=65536 since each qubit is both 0 AND 1 at the same time, if I understand it correctly, that is.

  6. Value of Gmail brand on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 1

    IIIR boss Shane Smith points to an independent valuation of the brand, compiled in December 2004 by Valuation Consulting Limited, which suggests a value of between $48m and $64m, although he says his company would have settled for much less.

    And how much of this valuation is due to Google's use of the name?
