[Robin Landseadel]

 From  Quanta Magazine. an article concerning managing unmanageable  
flows of data, a short excerpt:

"The Quantum Question
Late one night, during a swanky Napa Valley conference last year, MIT  
physicist Seth Lloyd found himself soaking in a hot tub across from  
Google’s Sergey Brin and Larry Page — any aspiring technology  
entrepreneur’s dream scenario. Lloyd made his pitch, proposing a  
quantum version of Google’s search engine whereby users could make  
queries and receive results without Google knowing which questions  
were asked. The men were intrigued. But after conferring with their  
business manager the next day, Brin and Page informed Lloyd that his  
scheme went against their business plan. “They want to know everything  
about everybody who uses their products and services,” he joked."
