I'm a freaky about data, statistics and other issues like that. So IBGE (Brazilian's Geographic and Statistics Institute) was always a web-site that I watched for. They released an awesome new service: statistical data over maps, with links and all the stuff needed. You can reach the "countries" page here and the Brazilian states data here.
And then the "first" "commercial" quantum computer has been launched - lots of talk but no real use right now. It's a great attempt and proof-of-concept, but articles points to scientists saying it could not scale very well. I'm really wandering about what could happen to security systems - hell, with everything - if quantum computers really become useful. It's a topic to watch for, sure.
And soon will be more meaningful articles here, just a few days... Related links for "Quick notes: IBGE and quantum computer"

Training your english? =) Eu tenho minhas dúvidas se a computação quântica vai decolar mesmo num futuro bem próximo. Talvez quando chegarem lá, cheguem à conclusão de que computação fotônica ou molecular seja melhor... Quando atingirmos um novo patamar na computação, bem diferente do atual, de fato, toda a segurança e toda a internet vai mudar radicalmente. Para melhor, espero!
