Will the Apple fall to the ground?
Apple is starting to feel the heat from the customers who bought the new iPod Nano. Apple is faced with a class-action lawsuit which accuses Apple of knowingly selling defective iPods. Apple has been charged with shipping out its iPod Nanos even though it knew that the product was prone to being scratched up easily. Moreover, the plaintiffs argue that the scratches make the product unusable as the screen becomes unreadable. The company advices customers to spend some extra dollars and buy cover cases for the Nano to prevent scratches.
This is not the first time that Apple is being sued by its customers. In 2003 the company was hit by plaintiffs who filed a class-action lawsuit regarding its rechargeable batteries that do not charge as well as they claim to. The company settled this year by offering $50 vouchers that can be used to buy Apple products, and it also extended the iPod’s warranty to two years from one.

Scientists in Australia have found a way to slow down a speeding laser pulse and capture it in a crystal. The laser pulse was slowed down from 300,000 kilometers per second to just several hundred meters per second, allowing them to capture the pulse for about a second. This also allowed the scientists to write on the laser and send the laser back on its way. Suddenly, the age of Quantum Computing does not look so far away.
