Anyone and EVERYONE going to CES, stop at this booth, get photos, PICK THEM APART RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES to make it clear to the uninformed what they're looking at. Do your duty and spend 5 minutes there.

I for one would be extremely surprised if they actually have a booth at CES.

I just don't see why they would go through so much trouble, if it is a scam it one that has been in the making for at least 2 years. What would be the point.

I love how that site, scrolls all of this:

"A REVOLUTIONARY NEW INNOVATION FOR THE ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY "QUANTUM-OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY". IN ONE CUBIC MILLIMETER, 3.2GB OF NON-VOLATILE RAM ARE CONTAINED."


It took 10 minutes to read this stupid message!

None of you answered what is the point of spending so much time and money on a joke. What is the gain. This is years in the making, and it isn't free to get a patent or have booth at CES for 2 years.

If you are are so confident of it being fake then explain why they are spending so much time and money to fool everyone.

No I am not saying I think it is real. I am saying if it is fake, why spend so much time ( years) and money to fool people. What is the point. However I don't think it is real either. I just don't know.

Honestly, it looks legit. All it sounds liek they did is make sandisk memmory bootable. Not that hard to do with some investment.

If you read through everything, they say constantly that, and I quote:

"Also, a super fast quantum computer the size of an address book which contains huge Non-Volatile RAM for hundreds of gigabytes and other devices for domestic or specialized use about which today you can talk only as a fantasy will emerge. However, all this is realistic today because of the new Quantum-optical technology, which is based on the recently discovered magnetic quantum-optical phenomenon in porous silicon."

So the patents behind the ideas are there, and the science behind it is real by the way, but I'm not sure there are any real products available yet. It seems more to me like they are hoping to liscence the patent to someone to make some money, which would be well worth a couple of years at CES if this pans out.

Interestingly, they also state that the specifications of all of their products may change at any time without any notice, meaing 8GB memory sticks could be replaced with a standard 256MB usb stick!

Edit:

So it's probably all real, there just do not appear to be any "real" products available, merely ideas they are trying to sell.

This Dr. NakaMats guy seems to be incredibly famous in Japan, and he DID invent the floppy disk. When he invented the floppy fifty years ago, people probably thought it was a gimmick too, seeing as they were using punch-cards at the time.

I don't believe "NakaMats" is a Japanese name.

1.that the fact taht they put QUANTUM into everything to make it sound complex
2.they didnt put anything into that besides pasting a little LED onto a cd player accesory
3.people think that if it says QUANTUM in it, it MUST be high tech and I shouldnt be able to understand any of it.
3a. And if it says QUANTUM on it I MUST INVEST!!!111one!1
4.the website looks like shit. I could google all those pictures together and put them on my website and add a bunch of silly links that my friends helped me make.
5.IF your trying to make a scam that big to roll in the big $$$ then you need to fool them, and that will take money. But when your SCAMMING people for their money, you need to "invest" in your scheme so to say, as spending a little to make it look real. The amount they drag in must be worth their time and money if they are getting that much out.
6.???
7.Profit!



8.DID I MENTION THE "SOLAR RAM"??????omfgwtfBBQ!!1





im asking them for benchmarks and at what retail stores I can buy these at. I've got a few mcdonalds best buy bucks on hand.if thats enough to buy a QUANTUM EXTRASUPERDUPER computor!

it jus looks like some one took aload of 555 timers.....and used a glue gun to stick LEDs to them. then they try to pass it off as an optical processor. lol

i like the memory drives that look exactly like phono jacks.....and the USB drives which are basically USB connectors an thats it....oh yeah with LED stuck to it for credibility
