up to 8 percent smaller than zlib. Always with the spin, cause if you say on average 3% people yawn even more than they are yawning at 8%. Wake me up when there is a stable/reproducible quantum parallelism (I don't mean Schumacher compression either) means of compression, not a tweak in an existing compression algorithm - Sorry to sound grumpy, but I just don't see this as news worthy or anything to get exited about. Many of us did this with similar results in grad school or in our spare time as a hobby. You can even find some of them on SF or GH if you don't believe me. This is one of those stories where something is dressed up to sound really good and a couple of years later you wonder to yourself, "What ever happened to that?" You go look it up and find a dead end, usually because the original concept was over-hyped or unachievable. After enough false optimism, the sane human will start to sour on "breakthrough" news and become cynical - because "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" (Einstein) is the very definition of insanity right?
