Quantum annealing is a mathematical operation where the extreme points of a function (the maxima and minma of a graph, for example) are determined from a given set of discrete candidate solutions.
What set Facebook apart was its hyper-focus on college students, who naturally formed discrete communities in which having just a few hundred users of the service could constitute critical mass.
Ultimately, better management could set the stage for software applications sold not through big packages but by use of discrete parts of an overall package--much the way IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ), HP and others talk about selling computing not by individual machines, but by how many processors a customer actually uses.
All you need is all new equipment -- that may or may not be clearly advertised -- connected with either HDMI or discrete analog cables, then an hour or so to read the manual, and you're all set.
