Today's Story Highlights

Google Ratchets Up Quantum Computing Efforts
Google this week announced a hardware initiative to design and build new
quantum information processors based on superconducting electronics. The
effort is related to the launch last year of its Quantum Artificial
Intelligence Lab. Physicist John Martinis, winner of the 2014 Fritz
London Memorial Prize, leads a group of UCSB scientists who will
collaborate with the Google team.

Microsoft Shines Spotlight on a Trio of New Lumias
Microsoft on Thursday unveiled the Nokia Lumia 830, 730 and 735
smartphones at the IFA 2014 consumer electronics show in Berlin. The 830
is the thinnest and lightest member of the Lumia family. It has a 10mp
camera and is positioned as an affordable flagship. "The Lumia 830 looks
to me like a high-end smartphone masquerading as a mid-range device,"
said tech analyst Ramon Llamas.

patients deal with diseases and other negative effects associated with
aging. Under the terms of the partnership, both AbbVie and Calico will
invest up to $250 million in the project, with the possibility of
another $500 million each.
