Quantum computers?

Hmm, yeah, so I guess we now have quantum computing… A quantum computer at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign solved a problem without even running a program. The researchers were able to determine an answer to an algorithm by combining quantum computation and quantum interrogation (a technique that makes use of wave-particle duality to search

Investment Principles Case 2

Through this case we looked at technical analysis, and tested the validity of using moving averages and relative strength indicator to dictate buy and sells.

IAG: Google, and the Boston Beer Company

This meeting was attended by over 80 members, and after a wonderful presentation there was a very lively discussion on the merits of Google, and whether it would be good addition to either

Portfolio Update

AnksConsulting’s portfolio has been updated to include several old projects not previously listed. These projects include a website created for a class at NYU, Computers in Principle & Practice I. This website contains information about The Matrix Trilogy, and other various assignments for the class; the home page was an exercise in PhotoShop. The other
