Early adopters are going to have to haul around dewars flasks full of liquid helium.

Well, I guess that's it, the Luddites might as well give up. Our grandchildren will have Internet-linked modems/cellphones wired into their skulls at birth. Their grandchildren will be the Borg Collective. Resistance is futile.

Kilroy was here?

I thought Kilroy died in WWII......

They didn't say how many single atom transistors they could put on a substrate 10 microns by 10 microns.....

When will we see terahertz processors with picometer transistors?

Can I run Crysis on extreme spec/2560x1600/32x MSAA enabled on eight monitors and still maintain 100+ FPS?

When to we get to up quark capacitors?

We have been trapping atoms for decades in super cold environments.

It is expensive, but if the computing is fast enough, it could offset that cost.

38 K? Cash up front.

Just throw everything we know into a quasar and wait for "the answer."

HA! String and superstring transistors are the wave of the future!

It's not so bad, but I keep bending the little bitty soldering tip.

This reminds me of that recent discovery at CERN that got people to wondering if Einstein was "finally proven wrong" because they didn't understand what Einstein really said.

Moore's Law won't be defeated by quantum computing, because it just plain doesn't apply to it.

Crysis will run on ultra high spec/graphics mods/2560x1600/32x MSAA/eight monitors eyefinity and still put out 100+ FPS!

We need planck-scale transistors!
