Google Is Building The Fastest Computer On Planet Earth

Google wants to take computing to warp speed and so what better way to do this than do exactly what they just did. Google has partnered with UC Santa Barbara researchers to develop quantum computing

The internet search company announced a new partnership with researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara to develop "quantum computing" technology.
What is the science behind quantum computing? : This is a highly technical though still very theoretical. In simple terms, quantum computers make use of quantum bits, or qubits, to process information, as opposed to the binary system of ones and zeros used by traditional computer processors.

Scientists say qubits can behave like ones or zeros, or both. In theory, this should make quantum computers exponentially faster than digital computers that use a binary system to process information.

China is currently, China is home to the world's fastest computer, "The Tianhe-2" supercomputer, which is capable of nearly 55 quadrillion of calculations per second. After the development of quantum computer, 55 Quadrillion could look really snail.
The Partners have said they will form a "quantum artificial intelligence team," to lay the groundwork for quantum computing.
Before this, Google heard already been working with scientists at D-Wave Systems on a quantum computer system developing what some call the first commercially viable quantum computer, "The Vesuvius" Google is also working with NASA on a 1,000 qubit "Washington" processor.

Wishing these guys a success. Surely at the end of it all, We all need a faster Computer.

In the last ten years alone, phones has evolved at a really high speed than any other Technologies moving from just making basic calls and texting to much more complex tasks

Today, smart phones have become a necessity to almost all ages. A necessity that the youth have grown to make a must have. Smart phones have been made to take on tasks of other gadgets. Smart phones now have better camera pixels close to those of digital camera's, combined with FM-radio and Alarm clock, Stop watch,Video & Audio Player, Voice recorder, Calender, as well as a torch that also acts as the camera's flash light, mathematical calculators, notepad, ETC

HTC-M8, SAM SUNG GALAXY S5 and SAM SUNG NOTE 3, IPHONE 6, LG-G3,Nokia Lumia ETC. These are Leading Smart Phone Brands.

well me myself,I have had a chance to use a smart phone for sometime until it was stolen but it was worth every penny that i bought it! The advantage with smart phones is that they have the ability to multi-tasking(

Wondering which brand of a smart phone you should buy? well as we know each and everyone of us have different taste and preference. You should be in position to know why there exists so many brands of smart phones on the market all competing for your choice. As for me i have used and liked the Sam sung brand for sometime and prefer using it more.For you, it really depends on your tests. In this article, I will give you a few tips to put into consideration if you want to get the best experience out of a smart phone.

1. The battery:

The more MAH of the battery then the better, longer and more charge that the battery can hold in a single charge. therefore buy a smart phone with at least 2000 MAH and above, and trust me you will get the best battery experience in your phone!
2. Screen resolution:
The more ppi of the screen means the better resolution that your screen will have. In this case a phone that has 300 ppi and above will give you a better screen resolution ,brighter screen,clearer pictures on your screen among others.

3. Network mode:

This is a bit easier to understand, smart phones that run on 2G networks and not worth buying. I suggest that you buy phones that have 3G, 4G and LTE capabilities. however even with 3G data transfers will vary some smart phones offer 7.2mbps-HSPDA and 5.7mbps-HSUPA while others offer 21mbps, 14mbps -HSPDA and 5.7mbps respectively. Therefore, the higher the download and upload speed the better (14mbps,21mbps,4G-50mbps).

4. Camera resolution:

Since most of us like taking photos and videos at various points, its advisable to get a smart phone with concentration on camera pixels. cameras that have more pixels take more beautiful pictures than those with less pixels. i should state in my point of view regardless of misconceptions, i have come to a conclusion that Sony-xperia brands of smart phones have better picture and video resolution compared to their counterpart brands with the same camera pixels. But remember this is only camera but you might wanna consider other things before you can rush to buying this particular brand!

5. Screen make:

Since most smart phones have touch screens which we should also know are very sensitive then buying a brand with the strongest screen make becomes a high priority. today, screens most preferable are those made with corning gorilla glass. this is because these particular screens have the ability to resist scratches, and dust as well. they are also strong meaning a phone can fall face down but will still work perfectly after the impact or even with minor crack, it will still work perfectly.

6. The Operating system of the phone:

As we know that most smart phones now run on android operating system while others run on windows. in any case, if you want a phone that user friendly meaning that one which you can easily operate with a few directions then i would suggest that you go for the smart phones that are running on Android operating system. however, if you are adventurous, fully advanced in using smart phones then you can also try out Windows Mobile Operating system. In my opinion "use Android", reason being there are so many applications on the market that run on Android than any other operating systems combined together.Make your choice carefully here!! And make the right one.

 8.Phone Memory:

This can be in case of the hard-disk or the random access memory. when buying a smart phone consider buying one with higher random access memory(RAM) say at least 1GB of RAM. and if you want more storage space with at least 4GB and above!

7. Lastly the phones availability of service centres in your particular region:

We know that certain smart phone brands do not have existing service centres in your particular region and therefore this means that you might not easily access parts and spares for that particular brand while others have several centres available in your region and would prefer you to buy those particular brands from the service centres. Sam sung tends to have service centres in several locations in Uganda and most countries. Some times, Even iphone's Apple has tried to reserve there position in service centres, With that said, i suggest you buy from these particular brands because they will give you better support and also guarantees spare parts just in case of any damage on your phone.

NB: Don't buy a Phone just because it looks nice.Take your time to read about its features.

Also: Try to know opinions from the ex parts from here: Gsmarena And at Phonearena
