Bryant out of Lakers China tour

By -
Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant will not play during the franchise's pre-season venture in China, due to knee and Achilles problems.
Bryant said he would 'probably' be playing if the Lakers were in the NBA playoffs but given the less serious nature of their regular season warm-up fixtures in Asia, he would continue to rest up.
The 34-year-old has battled Achilles problems since rupturing a tendon in April and was not on the court for Monday practice prior to their Tuesday match against the Golden State Warriors.
Bryant remains in doubt for the regular season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers on October 29, but regardless, he is enjoying their time in China.
"It's always really fun to come here, it's something that's really special because I get the chance to comeback twice so I'm enjoying it," Bryant said.
"I really enjoyed going (to the Great Wall of China), it's always an honour to go there and witness such a monument, such a historic monument, my team-mates had a great time."
Bryant said he felt the Lakers would exceed expectations in the 2013-14 NBA campaign.
"I don't know (how LA will fare), vastly better than what people expect, in terms of how many games we'll win. I don't know, we'll take it game by game," he said.
The Lakers have two-match series' against the Warriors and the Utah Jazz, ahead of their season bow against the Clippers at the Staples Centre.

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
