Scientist Teleport Matter More Than Three Feet
Scientists have come a bit closer to achieving the "Star Trek" feat of teleportation.
No one is galaxy-hopping, or even beaming people around, but for the first time, information has been teleported between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter — about a yard.
This is a significant milestone in a field known as quantum information processing, said Christopher Monroe of the Joint Quantum Institute at the University of Maryland, who led the effort.

Imagine being transported.. from my house to yours, from home to work and then back at the end of the day. Do you think it will happen in our lifetime? Will the animal rights people allow us to test it on a monkey like when we used monkeys to test flights into space? I think this is really cool stuff.. what do you think?
Here's another news story that caught my eye:
Tom Hanks Apologizes for Calling Mormon Supporters of Proposition 8 'Un-American'
Even if he has apologized he's lost so much respect in my eyes. I had thought of him as one of the few Hollywood folks that had any sense.. obviously he's just like all the rest and can't help but open his mouth to say or do something stupid without thinking first. One of the things that bugs me about this is that he mad the original comment personally but he was too much of a coward to apologize himself. Instead he used a publicist.
