Internet browser that quadruples surf speed wins Irish science prize
A computer browser that is said to least quadruple surfing speeds on the Internet has won the top prize at an Irish exhibition for young scientists, it was announced on Saturday.
Adnan Osmani, 16, a student at Saint Finian's College in Mullingar, central Ireland spent 18 months writing 780,000 lines of computer code to develop the browser.
Known as "XWEBS", the system works with an ordinary Internet connection using a 56K modem on a normal telephone line.
