Internet Heading to Light Speed
A new nanotechnology that eliminates network bottlenecks could help create a web surfers' paradise that is 100 times faster than today's internet.
Fiber-optic networks capable of sending information at 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps are being rolled out around the world and under the oceans to connect everyone to everything. But getting information to pass from one high-speed network to another can be slowed by electronic switching technology.

200 apps clash with XP SP2
Consumers will be offered a major upgrade of Windows XP after Microsoft releases Service Pack 2 through Windows Update later this week.
The 272MB enterprise version of SP2 was released earlier this month and a smaller consumer version - weighing in at around 80MB - was due to be released via Windows Update yesterday (16 August), the BBC reports. This automatic delivery has now been put back until tomorrow (18 August). SP2 was due to debut last year so a couple of extra days wait is hardly going to make much difference.

Ich blog das!
Schon mal einen T-Shirt Träger mit dieser Aufschrift gesehen und gefragt, was das wohl heissen mag? Nein? Dann könnte das daran liegen, dass das Betreiben von so genannten Weblogs (auch kurz "Blogs" genannt) den deutschsprachigen Raum noch nicht gänzlich erreicht hat.
Um weiteren Missverständnissen vorzubeugen und um es der auf totem Holz schreibenden Zunft ein wenig leichter zu machen hier die ultimative Presseerklärung zum Thema “Was sind Weblogs”. Die kann nun jeder Journalist abschreiben und brauch sich selbst keine weiteren Gedanken mehr machen (“billig, da steht Ihr doch drauf!”), was offenbar in der Natur selbiger Spezies liegt.
