coondoggie sends this excerpt from NetworkWorld: “The US Army Research Office and the National Security Bureau (NSA) are together looking for some answers to their quantum physics questions. … The Army said quantum algorithms that are developed should focus on constructive solutions [PDF] for specific tasks, and on general methodologies for expressing and examining algorithms tailored to specific problems — though they didn’t say what those specific tasks were … ‘Investigators should presuppose the existence of a fully functional quantum personal and think about what algorithmic tasks are particularly well suited to such a machine. A necessary component of this research will be to compare the efficiency of the quantum algorithm to the ideal existing classical algorithm for the same problem.’”

Gamasutra is running an article discussing the influence of games and gamers on the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections.

Kligat writes “Scientists have found two asteroid belts around the star Epsilon Eridani, the ninth closest star to our solar system. Epsilon Eridani also possesses an icy outer ring similar in composition to our Kuiper Belt, but with 100 times more material, and a Jovian mass planet near the edge of the innermost belt. Researchers believe that two other planets must orbit the 850 million year old star near the other two belts. Terrestrial planets are possible, but not yet indicated.”
