| Scientists at Cern, the particle physics centre, have developed a new technology, The Grid which could dramatically increase the speed of transfer and communications. Its currently being developed to capture the super high volume of data being generated by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator built to probe the origin of the universe. Re-purposing it to create parallel internet processing could revolutionize networking. |  |

That was ONE Incredible read….. Thanks for finding the article… What amazed me the most was:
“It has already been used to help design new drugs against malaria, the mosquito-borne disease that kills 1m people worldwide each year. Researchers used the grid to analyse 140m compounds – a task that would have taken a standard internet-linked PC 420 years.”
And people are already amazed at the internet now!!! But alas, it is only the beginning!!!
Keep up the great work
Cheers!
