DIAMONDS!

A University at Buffalo-led research team has established the presence of a dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in defective diamonds, a finding that will help advance the development of diamond-based systems in applications such as quantum information processing.

Don't worry. They won't understand a word Z's said until all the crap diamonds - of which there are so many as to be as common as mud - are chipped out of every used up drill. . . .

Oh. And that should be around the turn of the 22nd century. . . .

Same towel. Different generation.

Hey, it's a good towel.

Does this mean that the computer is going to be a girl's best friend in the future? Madonna lugging laptops instead of diamonds in "Material girl" just isn't the same thing you know.

More like a diamond bracelet that can order pizza and keep your schedule.. and order more diamonds, of course.

Nothing says, "I love you," like a DeBeers' engagement computer.

Now your computer is made of diamonds!
