Time-Travelling Quantum Computer Will Have Been Solving Everything

EXCERPT: [...] Let's get something out of the way first: in our normal, day-to-day lives, time travel remains an impossibility. At the level of quantum physics, however? Well, let's just say it's a definite maybe. The theory of general relativity allows for time-travel to exist, through warps in spacetime we call wormholes. Most of these wormholes are probably just the right size for quantum particle to travel through. It's under the assumption that it can happen, however, that an international group of physicists are proposing their revolutionary idea: that taking one half of a pair of entangled, quantum particles, then sending it back in time on a theoretically pre-existing time loop could create tremendous computational power....
Adobe updates Flash amid renewed exploit fears
http://phys.org/news/2015-12-adobe-renewed-exploit.html
EXCERPT: US software maker Adobe on Monday released security updates for its Flash video player amid ongoing concerns about security holes that could let hackers in. [...] But some websites and services have been abandoning Adobe for security reasons. [...] Apple notably dropped the use of Flash in its iPhones several years ago, and earlier this year Amazon said it had stopped accepting advertising in Flash format. [...] Google also blocked Flash ads [...] Security blogger Brian Krebs said that Internet users should at least update their Flash programs or "better yet, get rid of Flash altogether, or at least disable it until and unless you need it."
