The BBC news site has an informative article at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_201000/201815.stm
This also has a link to an IBM site which gives a more scientific run-down:
http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/
They say it's not really teleporting, because it actually destroys the original
and creates a copy at the other end. Sounds like they might have an ansible in
the making though (for LeGuin fans). The quantum mecahnics stuff is interesting
if mystifying, especially after pretending I understood it while reading Greg
Egan's Diaspora!

Vila's brain - what next:-))

his character was ACO Howard'
1. And did you? (see Gareth's parts, I mean) :>
2. Michael's character is an anagram of 'Oh, a coward'. There must be some
deep meaning we can attach to this. Or maybe not. :)

Last call for requests for Ecclecticon.
I can bring copies of any of the following with me if requested:
Star Two, Star Three, The Way Back, Morgan, The Totally Imaginary Cheeseboard,
The Other Side of the Coin, Derelicts, The Machiavelli Factor, Mindfire,
Forbidden Star, Forbidden Star Two, Puppeteer, Sevencyclopaedia, Jabberwocky
1-4, 5-8, 9-13, 14, adult/slash, The Road to Hell, The Last Best Hope, The Long
Way Back, Some Dreams are Worth Having (filk tape)
I've got several requests in already, but it does help to have an idea of what's
wanted when suitcase space is limited. It's very hard to predict what people
are likely to want.
I went to a slash con earlier this year. What was the first thing I sold out
of, even before I'd got the table set up? Slash? Smut? No - the filk tape!

I haven't received the second PR yet - has everyone else? (I also didn't get
any written confirmation of registration, although my name is on the web site
membership list.)
