Slightly less relevant stuff

This research is taking me places I never thought I'd go.

Today that meant the "IT business" section of The Australian as well as the other sections. It was somewhat intriguing to note that the suggestions of changing economy I mentioned just previously were more or less agreed with by the articles there - the way businesses are changing thier structure, and the rise of social networking companies, etc. This may also be coloured by previously listening to the Value Networks lecture given by Verna Allee as a podcast from a Berkeley course, on similar topics.

Another article I spotted was about quantum computers calculating the solution to problems without actually running at all. This was somewhat intriguing but sort of made sense given a very slight background learning about such things. On returning to my office I found this post over at Shtetl-Optimized, which explained it much more convincingly.
