A Boost For Quantum Reality

Eponymous Hero sends this excerpt from Nature: "The philosophical status of the wavefunction ? the entity that determines the probability of different outcomes of measurements on quantum-mechanical particles ? would seem to be an unlikely subject for emotional debate. Yet online discussion of a paper claiming to show mathematically that the wavefunction is real has ranged from ardently star-struck to downright vitriolic since the article was first released as a preprint in November 2011. ... [The authors] say that the mathematics leaves no doubt that the wavefunction is not just a statistical tool, but rather, a real, objective state of a quantum system."

With 125M Views, These Vloggers Are Already Good. But YouTube Wants To Make Them Better.

YouTube has announced the next class of creators to go through its YouTube Next program, this time focusing on vloggers. The video site originally announced the initiative about six weeks ago, and today it is announcing the 16 vloggers who will get some cash and advice to take their videos to the next level. While YouTube is, on the one hand, investing millions in creating professionally produced content from the likes of Tony Hawk and others, it's also trying to help amateur and semi-professional creators further develop their own skills. That's the idea behind the YouTube Next program, which the company introduced last spring.

Zynga Makes A Bigger Play For Arcade-Style Games With Bubble Safari

Zynga is taking yet another step away from its long line of casual sim "-Ville" games today with the launch of Bubble Safari. It's an arcade game where a monkey named "Bubbles" has to shoot down pieces of fruit hanging above him to save his friends from poachers. If he matches several of the same kinds of fruit in a row, they'll tumble down and get sorted into baskets by hummingbirds. These shooter games are not new to the Facebook platform. With the rapid rise of Europe's King.com and Germany's Wooga on the back of games like Bubble Witch Saga and Bubble Island, it's not surprising that Zynga would eventually launch its own take on the genre.

Mass. woman balks at paying old $73 debt to NJ

AMESBURY, Mass. (AP) ? A Massachusetts woman who got a bill for $73 from the state of New Jersey for a decades-old debt says she has no intention of paying.

Alice Mainville, of Amesbury, got a letter recently telling her she owes New Jersey's Department of Labor $73 because it gave her too much money in an unemployment check 35 years ago.

Mainville tells the Daily News of Newburyport (http://bit.ly/IlpLlf ) she collected unemployment during a labor dispute at the bakery where she worked when she was 17.

Mainville, who moved to Massachusetts after high school, says she won't pay because New Jersey officials have not explained how they concluded she owes the money.

New Jersey Department of Labor spokeswoman Kerri Gatling says there is no bad debt "write-off" in unemployment insurance law.
