The abuse of information is technological singularity. Recently IBM reported a germanium based silicon processor running at 500+ghz at -34 below true zero. At room temperature the chip was running at 320ghz. The idea that the chip will be used for any application whatsoever is enough evidence to show an operating system can be built around such a chip. Now of course the people with the money and power to do such research will not release such speeds to the public for at least 100+ years. The apparent reason claimed is due to the RSA encryption and if such processors existed on a public level the RSA would be easily cracked. In rebuttal to this, Beowulf processing offers similar (if not more) processing powers, considering the individual had the firepower (ie: 42 quad 3ghz mac xeon boxes). It's not so much the idea of the RSA encryption being that with the advent of Quantum virtual computing a new superior method of encryption should be available, but rather it is controlling the flow, and harnessing the demand of the power of technology. The "informed", no matter how informed they are, will always be under the "super-informed", with the billions of dollars extra cash available, allowing their research to compound dramatically, yet keeping it within a small circle of people with similar resources. Technology has become our new religion, and I choose to follow an operating system created by a community of people dedicated to helping eachother learn and grow (Linux), rather than a corporate company that dangles the elusive "super os" carrot in front of our noses and nurses our hopes with "updates" that create more exploits, and the cycle continues. Praise Linux.
