Tropical Storm Pablo became a hurricane on Sunday morning as it moved quickly over the northeastern Atlantic. It had maximum sustained winds of 55kph (35mph). "However, even if this occurs it will make little difference to the impacts on the northern Gulf coast", forecasters wrote. Although satellite wind data indicate that the disturbance still does not have a well-defined center, some further development is anticipated and it appears likely that a short-lived tropical depression will form ...

Google unveils quantum computer breakthrough
- October 25, 2019
Scientists claimed on Wednesday to have achieved a near-mythical state of computing in which a new generation of machines vastly outperforms the world's fastest super-computer, known as " quantum supremacy ". The new discovery heralds the birth of "Quantum Computers ", which can store and process much more information than usual. They then had the quantum computer detect patterns in a series of seemingly random numbers, and it succeeded in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. (more...)
