Consumer electronics will become an exploding market over the next six years for chipmakers who incorporate security features into their silicon, according to a research report released last week. While hardware's role in protecting content on consumer devices is small today, that won't be the case in the coming years, according to technology research firm ABI Research. By 2013, some 60 million consumer electronic devices will ship with hardware security, predicted ABI Principal Analyst Steve Wilson in the report, "Hardware Security in the Consumer Electronic Market."

On the subject of quantum computation...
The statements that quantum computers "will be able to perform an unlimited number of simultaneous operations" and "break any encryption scheme, any DRM scheme that anyone could come up with" are simply _not correct_. The overhype surrounding quantum computing is a real concern to the scientists working on this field.
