Ternary Computing Might Make its Big Debut with Quantum Computing
A team from Australia suggests that not only will ternary data be helpful in the budding field of quantum computing, but practically necessary
Generations of computer scientists grew up under the notion that ternary computing was just around the corner. Modern computers store information in a binary system, a logical representation of true and false. Ternary computing, on the other hand, stores information as a representation of false, null and true; 0, 1, 2 or -1, 0 and 1.
Computer storage methods going back to punch cards made binary computing methods sensible. When storage moved to magnetic and transistor-based alternatives, the binary system continued to flourish -- and any reason to switch to a ternary system was nonessential with prolific and scalable storage.
But with the advent of quantum computing, ternary computing has a new cause. Universal quantum logic gates, the building blocks of infant quantum computing, require hundreds of gates in order to complete any useful work. D-Wave's quantum computer, announced last year, consists of only 16 qubits -- just enough for a controlled NOT gate.

Panasonic Goes Touchscreen With the LUMIX FX500 Digital Camera
It may not be first touchscreen digital camera on the market, but Panasonic's new LUMIX FX500 is better late than never with a 3-inch touchscreen LCD and the same 25mm ultra-wide-angle Leica DC lens 10.1MP resolution, intelligent ISO and face detection as the FX35. It also features a 5x optical zoom, auto focus tracking and the ability to shoot HD video (1280 x 720p) content and still photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Not to bad for the $399.95 price tag. Expect to see it on store shelves starting this May. Additional pic and press release after the break.

Is Yahoo giving up on competing with Google?
Google increased their hold on search market from 70.5% to 76.6% and performed almost outstanding compared to their fiscal growth target and previous year results. On other hand Yahoo is giving up to compete with Google and analyst have suggested that they are outsourcing the search part to third parties.
Yahoo is struggling for the search market. Yahoo company growth is not as expected. In recent conference for fourth quarter result Yahoo chief announced their employee lay off. Company is planning to lay off around 1000 employees which is around 7% of total Yahoo workforce. This suggest much about current company performance.

New Yahoo chief Jerry yang said, “This is a necessary next step in our transformation,” Though Yahoo reported fourth quarter profit of $206 million with increasing revenue by 14% to $1.4 billion. Display advertising revenue is continuing to grow by around 20% and company focusing more on display advertising network.
Yahoo online search share fall from 24.1% to 17.9%, which is almost 25% fall compared to previous year. Google captures major part of this search share.
For the year 2008 in spite of headwind in the beginning company is expecting double-digit cash flow growth this year. Display advertising and search integration is final hope for Yahoo.
