eruheru Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 arent quantum computers still in the molecular stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think its optical. they just use the word quantum like tv manufactures use plasma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatemisience Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 interesting you think they could make a better website. it seems dialogue is manufactuering their products. they make the flybook, imate and qtek etc. etc. good stuff worth checking out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bascule Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 interesting you think they could make a better website Yes, perhaps if it weren't total BULLSHIT they would have a better web site. Yes, I call bullshit. These are such horrible photoshops it's ridiculous. Yes folks, they claim this little doodad that looks halfway between a Toslink connector and a miniplug stores a whopping 24GB. Oh look, this is supposed to store 1 TB! So why is the label horribly photoshopped? Hey look, it's a QuantumTM brand component! Oh wait, it's just BULLSHIT! The sad thing is this detracts from real companies making molecular computing breakthroughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bascule Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The surprising thing is the patent number looks legit and matches atomchip.com's whois info: Registrant:Shimon Gendlin 21 Reed Lane Westbury, NY 11590 US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Kirby Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well, there are several marks of a hoax on that page, like the golden Oscar as one of the awards, but this kind of hoax is going to make people feel really used. Most likely the "horrible photoshop" is because the maker of this hoax actually made up paper labels and cut them by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 it could bewhat they expect laptops to be like when we do have mass marketed quantum computing. i think the current most powerful quantum cpu consists of 12000 carbon atoms and is like 133MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2SO4 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 ya this is bullshit. I mean c'mon a small chip this big holding 1TB. Im sure we would have heard something about this if it was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calbiterol Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 There have been many scholarly journals / respectable science magazines reporting on nano-scale data storage (non volatile). It is, in fact, possible to fit that much data into something that small! I'm not sure exactly which articles I'm referring to 'cause I don't remember exactly what it was, but IEEE Spectrum, Technology Review (MIT's Magazine of Innovation), Scientific American, and Popular Science are some good candidates. As far as this particular case goes, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiinimeG Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 This seems like it might be legitimate, just maybe, this is perhaps a prototype for one of those quantum computers? check this out http://www.hoise.com/primeur/04/articles/monthly/CL-PR-02-04-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eruheru Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 i know its theareticly possible, but i dont think its that adcanced yet. if it was then the quantum mechanics page would have something on it. mabey ill make a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiinimeG Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Since i going to be taking some computer hardware and programming classes ill probably end up using this technology in the future before you losers muahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPQuiceno Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I doubt this is real. If it was real, I'm sure it would be ALL OVER the news, and they would be selling more laptops "than maddona has sold books on sex."

GeminiinimeG Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 hey perhaps its not advanced enough for the media to waste their time on it, the laptop sure looks fake, but the technology is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPQuiceno Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 wait a second. i'm sure they're is advancement in quantam technology, but I SERIOUSLY doubt that a chip that fast has been created yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calbiterol Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Note: THIS IS NOT QUANTUM COMPUTING. From every description I have heard, this is an example of chips designed using nanotechnology. Quantum computing is a completely different thing. Check wikipedia for both "quantum computers" and for "atomic-scale computing." The difference is immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
