A Canadian start-up says it will demonstrate a working commercial quantum computer in Mountain View next week, years ahead of many experts' predictions. Venture capital-funded to the tune of USD 20m, Vancouver-based D-Wave says it has built a quantum computer with 16 qubits - the quantum world's version of a digital bit, but which simultaneously encodes 1 and 0, so can carry more information and solve problems more quickly.

No it isn't, it's been a reply to every single article on Slashdot for the past decade at least. The only thing funny about that is imagining them scrambling to be the first to post it, so they they'll get all the "LOL had to be done!!!!!" replies and the +5 internet points next to their name.
