Hi again, everyone here the headlines for November 10th. First up the cryptocurrency exchange binance has said it plans on buying its rival FTX trading earlier this week binance signing a letter of intent to buy FTX because the exchange was dealing with liquidity problems.

The data was released in the dark web and appears to be only a sample of what the total data that was stolen MetaBank has stated that they expect the thief to continue to release data.

7 million. In response to the original breach the Australian government was creating a bill that would increase penalties for serious breaches, which hopefully will become law by the end of this month. In other news Zoom announced the beta of an email and calendar software at its recent zoomtopia conference.

During the height of the pandemic Zoom was the go-to app for meetings with a staggering triple digit growth rate today.
It is down to a single digit. Zoom recognizes that it can't only rely on his meeting software and zoom hopes without these with these new functionalities. It'll be able to Branch out.
Next up. IBM is announced the launch if it's Osprey Quantum processor, which features 433 cubits. This is a jump from the 2021 Eagle processor.
That only had 127 cubits. IBM has said that with the new processor. It brings them another step closer to the point where quantum computers will be able to solve previously unsolvable problems.
IBM hopes that we'll be able to achieve over 4,000 cubits by the end of 2025 with a roadmap that has been able to stick to so far. However, when it comes to Quantum Computing, the number of qubits is only part of the problem other factors include longer coherence times and reduce noise regardless, though. This announcement shows the slow and steady March towards a Quantum processor with a real-world applications.
On digital cxl. We have an article looking at how digital transformation initiatives can solve the problem of retailers having excessive holiday inventory. com On container Journal we have an article looking at kubernetes security and ci/cd pipelines kubernetes can offer many advantages to help strengthen your ci/cd pipeline, but it can be challenging to design due to kubernetes microserviceless architecture.
