When you read a headline like this, you need to be able to translate it into
plain English to see what it's really saying.  When you see "quantum
computers" or "quantum cryptanalysis" you should mentally substitute what's
really meant, "magic" [0].  So the headline becomes:

 IBM warns of instant breaking of encryption by magic: 'Move your data today'

Without even reading the linked article, I already know what it continues
with: It'll be peddling a magic-resistant cryptosystem invented and patented
by IBM that we all need to move to.

    something involving the pyramids.
