Afraid of the cloud ? You’re not alone, as rising concerns surrounding the security of distributed computing have led University of Vienna researchers to seek out quantum mechanics as a privacy fix. The team’s findings, soon to be published in the journal Science , prove that an end user’s data can remain encrypted throughout its journey to and from remote servers, essentially rendering the quantum computer’s calculations as “blind.” So, how exactly does this evasive entanglement work?

Plus Microsoft and LG sign Android patent agreement, and a snapshot of computer market, with and without iPad A quick burst of 8 links for you to chew over, as picked by the Technology team Where were all the Google TVs at CES? > > Online Video News “…While it’s clear that the CE industry needs to do something to fight fragmentation between the dozen or so smart TV platforms, it seems unlikely that Google TV will be its savior in the near future. Google might have more partners than it did a year ago, but they’re hardly adopting the platform en masse.

The Watson supercomputer used its speech recognition, natural language processing, machine learning and data mining abilities to crush puny human Ken Jennings’ dreams of winning at “Jeopardy!”, but now Big Blue has it chasing down medical patent trolls for fun. Incorporating the Strategic IP Insight Platform, IBM has now programmed Watson to scan millions of pharmaceutical patents and biomedical journals to discover, analyze, and record any info pertaining to drug discovery. SIIP can then look for the names of chemical compounds, related diagrams, the company and scientist who invented and works with the compounds and related words to determine a patent’s rightful owner.

It’s taken many years and more than a bit of brainpower, but researchers at the University of Central Florida have finally found a way to create neuromuscular connectors between muscle and spinal cord cells, using only stem cells . Led by bioengineer James Hickman, the team pulled off the feat with help from Brown University Professor Emeritus Herman Vandenburgh, who collected muscle stem cell samples from adult volunteers.

We’ve been worried about Klipsch’s future since Audiovox joined the picture, but it looks like there isn’t reason to fret just yet. Remember the company’s first on-ear headphones, the Image One ?

This one is a bit shocking to us. X-rays were discovered in 1896, and recently, a team of researchers at Maastricht University Medical Center in the Netherlands pulled a machine from 1896 off the shelf for the purpose of comparing its results to modern equipment

Some – but not all – ‘content farms’ have lost out through Google’s latest update, but real sites that generate real news and information are among the losers too, says new research An analysis by Sistrix , an independent company that looks at how sites rank against huge numbers of common search keywords, has revealed more than 300 sites that have lost out from Google’s re-ranking of sites for “original content” (or the lack of it) . Among the names are well-known sites such as: • the British Medical Journal , the respected medical resource • Cult of Mac , which provides Apple news and interviews; • Daniweb , a big IT discussion site; • Digital Trends , a tech news site • Mahalo , the “human-mediated” search engine backed by entrepreneur Jason Calacanis; • PR Newswire , which pumps out press releases on behalf of companies, and so is often a mirror of what appears elsewhere, on companies’ sites; • Robtex.com , which offers domain details on sites, and is a handy tool if you’re trying to find out who is cohosted on a suspected spam site; • Slideshare , used to share presentations online; • Songkick , which alerts fans to when their favourite band is heading to town; • Technorati , the once-great, now-fading blog-indexer; • The Well , “the birthplace of the online community movement” • Wikinvest , a web startup that tries to challenge Yahoo and others by letting you track stock portfolios. (The full list from Sistrix is at the end of this post.) Sistrix looked at more than 60m domains across six countries: each week it tries searches for 1m most commonly used search engine keywords and looks at where sites rank.

Well, here we are: the Wall Street Journal says Verizon will indeed announce the iPhone at its mysterious Tuesday event , according to “a source familiar with the matter.” That’s all the info the Journal has, but we’d say that all but seals it at this point — and you know we’ll be there live when it happens. P.S.
