Does a dishwasher have an embedded computer?
This mostly depends on the kind of dish washing machine you own and what you consider a 'computer'. If its an older machine, its quite possible that the machine 'logical' or controlling device is mechanical working off of timers, springs etc. It could be argued this does 'compute' (the first computer ever made by Babbage was mechanical) however in the modern sense (or in my opinion), a computer is a device that contains some sort of centralized processing unit (CPU) that does the complicated math/'thinking' for other functional devices that actually perform tasks. When a device can be programmed to perform/control multiple tasks, you're in the realm of computer. Today, many appliances from your fridge to your dishwasher do have a computer of some sort in them. Lots of appliances actually run stripped down versions of Linux, a popular open source operating system like Windows on your own computer. So if your dishwasher is relatively new, theres a very good chance it has, or essentially is a computer with an aquatic device attached to it that it controls. Sorry if this means you lost a bet.
What is the worlds best computer?
alienware> is not a computer itself and is a computer brand, the best computer for raw power is being used for commercial use but the best for gaming can be made yourself by using the highest end parts possible.
What is the abacus computer?
Yes, it was an early mechanical computer. It is regarded as the first computer, made over 5000 years ago. An abacus is not like a modern computer. People think of a computer as an electronic, programmable device that can store, retrieve, and process data. There were many computing devices prior to the electronic computer that had processing capabilities. They were mechanical devices and are computers. There are many different kinds of computing devices and an abacus is one of them.

How do science and math depend on each other?
Mathematics makes it possible for scientists to produce much more accurate and informative descriptions of what they learn and observe about how the world works, and in turn, science makes possible computer technology, with which it is much easier to do mathematics. Even a humble calculator is a technological device made possible by science.
How do you made a slideshow and share it using the usb device?
Create the presentation on your computer, and copy it (not move) to the USB device. Plug the USB device into the computer you're using for the presentation, and simply search the 'removable storage' for file. Assuming the second computer has suitable software to enable it to read the presentation file, it'll run automatically.
What invention made it possible to store memory on small computer chip?
Transistor.
