Can't wait until the Internet consortium tells Comcast they can't use another misleading name

It pisses me off that they're calling quantum data transmission quantum entanglement, it's not the same thing and it's misleading as fuck.

Quantum entanglement is about two quantum particles sharing the same state which if implemented somehow would allow for universal communication with no time lag. Sending quantum state communication through fiber optic, while an achievement for distributed quantum computing, is not quantum entanglement!!

Man, reading the title I thought quantum entanglement had finally arrived and I clicked that shit so fast 😂
