(See the top 10 1950s sci-fi movies.) 19. I drink two glasses of wine every night before bed. Wait, did I just admit to alcoholism? 20.

...free model, the marketing angle of novel podcasting is what separates it from bricks-and-mortar book-selling. Sigler and Hutchins continue to use the online world to campaign.

For scientists, it's just very, very complex, so much so that at this point, teleportation is not a matter of moving matter but one of transporting information. Already, physicists have been able to exchange information between light particles - or photons - or between atoms, so long as they were right next to each other. The current experiment marks the first in which information has traveled a significant distance - 1 m, or a little...
...with ever faster and ever smaller computers. At some point soon, however, miniaturization will reach a point that's too tiny to be practical. It's then, many hope, that what's known as quantum computing - based on information-sharing particles - will take over. (See the top 10 1950s Sci-Fi movies...
