Happy Birthday, Dr. Turing

This handsome British chap is directly responsible for your ability to visit a website; it’s safe to say that his contributions to early computer science saved millions of lives and now effect every living human being. Today, remember Alan Turing.

Quantum Computation is Entirely Impossible Except that it’s Like Totally Not

I think quantum computing means something like your computer turns on before it turns on and completes computations before it completes them. I’m pretty sure I want some of that.
