Kevin I couldn't agree more. To call it teleportation is like saying my PC is teleporting the characters of this email. Wrong terminology, chosen to generate sensationalism. Transmission would be more appropriate. There's one thing about the proof of entanglement that I have difficulty accepting. The comment was something to the effect that the observation changes the state and that is what is reflected in the entangled photon. So far I have not seen anything that suggests concrete data, a real predictable 1 or 0 has in fact been sent, received and decoded. It's all probabilistic, indeterminate. In such a way as to say, it got there or it didn't. So far this still sounds like theory.

In this case, the information transmitted was spin state.
