1800 superfast internet may replace the WWW

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), currently being built at CERN near Geneva, is the largest scientific instrument on the planet. When it begins operations in 2007, it will produce roughly 15 Petabytes (15 million Gigabytes) of data annually, which thousands of scientists around the world will access and analyse.
The mission of the LHC Computing Project (LCG) is to build and maintain a data storage and analysis infrastructure for the entire high energy physics community that will use the LHC.

The internet could soon be made obsolete by a new "grid" system which is 10,000 times faster than broadband connections.

The first phase of an ambitious computing network designed to handle huge amounts of data has been launched.

The network, dubbed the Grid, has been set up by the Cern labs in Geneva to tap into the processing power of computers in 12 countries.

The aim of the project is to handle data from an experiment on how the Universe began.

Cern believes the Grid could eventually provide people access to a vast pool of processing power from their desktops.

Next-gen net

The idea behind Grid technology is to link up computers around the world over the internet to create a new generation of enormously powerful machines.

The networks are needed because some problems in science are just too large for any one machine to tackle by itself.

Cern's Grid will initially be used to handle the terabytes of data generated by an upcoming particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).


The technology now being deployed for particle physics will ultimately change the way that science and business are undertaken in the years to come

The LHC is going to test the Big Bang theory by smashing protons together at high energies.

The data generate by the experiment are expected to fill the equivalent of more than 20 million CDs a year and some 70,000 computers would be needed to analyse the data.

With the LHC Computing Grid project, scientists will be able to access computing resources across the world as though they were on their machine.

"The Grid enables us to harness the power of scientific computing centres wherever they may be to provide the most powerful computing resource the world has to offer," said Les Robertson, project manager at Cern.

'Profound effect'

The first phase covers processing resources from research institutes in 12 countries - the UK, the US, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, and Taiwan.

The final goal of the Grid is to bring together the computing power of scientific centres across the world to create a virtual supercomputer network.

In the long-term, Grid technology is predicted to revolutionise the world of computing. Ultimately it is expected to be able to provide huge processing power on tap to anyone.

"The technology now being deployed for particle physics will ultimately change the way that science and business are undertaken in the years to come," said Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of the UK's Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, (PParc).

"This will have a profound effect on the way society uses information technology, much as the worldwide web did."

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is being built in a circular tunnel 27 km in circumference. The tunnel is buried around 50 to 175 m. underground. It straddles the Swiss and French borders on the outskirts of Geneva.

It planned to circulate the first beams in May 2008. First collisions at high energy are expected mid-2008 with the first results from the experiments soon after.

Big string new revolution in Email

BigString is a new service that lets you have better control over the emails you send out to others.
With this service, you can self-destruct or change an email that’s already been sent and/or read. Instead of worrying about the messages you send to others being available in their inbox, you can now destroy them as a way to protect your privacy. In addition, BigString offers a way to prevent your personal identification info from remaining in someone else’s inbox as well, restricting private images or messages from being spread further online. You can also reword a message that’s already been sent, revise a document you’ve sent along, or set an expiration date for emails. As added protection, recipients are unable to
You’ll need to send messages from BigString in order to use this free service. Most of these options can only be chosen one at a time, so if you want a self-destructing message, it won’t be able to be recalled at a later time. There aren’t really many ways to let your recipients know that a message is going to self-destruct, so you may end up making a few people upset or just downright confused, especially if they ever associate BigString with you having something to hide. For things like self-destructing emails, the mail will remain in the recipients inbox, but the actual message will be deleted. As added protection, recipients are unable to copy and paste the message text. Pretty nifty.

Mobile 2.0

Web 2.0 is seen as a growing trend over the Internet and has been seen as the next generation of web applications and services. Success of Web 2.0 has paved way to a relatively new concept known as Mobile 2.0. Mobile 2.0 concept defines the use of mobile phones to access the web 2.0 content wirelessly though WAP, GPRS, EDGE or WIFI connectivity. For example using of mobile phones to write blogs, to upload pictures to Flickr, read RSS feeds or even keeping in touch with your friends using social networks can be seen as Mobile 2.0. Mobile 2.0 is still a technology in its making and has a wide scope in reaching wide range of users. A key attributes for rapid development in Mobile 2.0 is the fact that mobile phones are becoming more and more sophisticated and at the same time powerful network capabilities allow mobile devices offer more functionalities. It is estimated that there are 3 times more mobile phones in the world compared to the number of PC's .All these facts contributes positively to the future of Mobile 2.0 and wider opportunities for Mobile 2.0 content providers.

Rise of Web 2.0 provided the groundwork for many successful multi-billion dollar businesses such as Facebook and Youtube. Mobile 2.0 on the other hand is in path to become a ground work for many successful businesses. We have already seen trends by existing Web 2.0 content providers such as Facebook, mySpace, and Youtube moving into the Mobile 2.0 markets to cater the Mobile users who access this web content. Given below is the Facebook home page accessed by a mobile phone using 3G services.

Many other Web 2.0 content providers are already laying groundwork to enter the Mobile 2.0 market. An example of this would be Google acquiring Zingku a mobile 2.0 content provider which provides Mashups, RSS feeds and many other features on mobile phones. However industrial analyst predicts that it would be hard for the existing web 2.0 content providers to converge into Mobile 2.0 arena as it requires building of new capabilities in order to perform well in the market. Diagram below illustrates the process of convergence of web 2.0 content providers into the Mobile 2.0 arena.


It is predicted that Mobile 2.0 would open up opportunities to mobile native service providers such as social networking services, micro blogging or even mobile Youtube's, explicitly for mobile users which can provide user interface and functionality that would suite better to mobile phones. Interesting trends are seen in new Mobile 2.0 centric start up companies as more and more new companies join to provide Mobile 2.0 services. These include social networking services such as Rummble and Mobiluck, micro blogging services such as Twitter and Jaiku, Video sharing services through QIK and ComVu and many other different kinds of mobile 2.0 services that are blooming up. Many mobile service operators are now moving into providing Mobile 2.0 services to its subscribers by becoming content providers to provider a platform for user collaboration and sharing of digital content such as videos and images with other subscribers. Mobile phone manufacturers such as Nokia have already taken steps to move into Mobile 2.0 arena by starting up services such as Nokia Podcasting to become a Mobile 2.0 content provider.

Mobile 2.0 is a service that knits together the current Web 2.0 with the mobile platform to create something new. It is clear that many of the current Web 2.0 content providers are eying on the Mobile 2.0 market and some have already entered whist others are laying groundwork to enter this blooming market. Many new mobile native content providers are emerging in the Mobile 2.0 industry and are expected to bring the Mobile 2.0 industry to a whole new dimension. In conclusion I would like to say that Mobile 2.0 has the potential of revolutionizing the way we use the Internet and services offered through Internet, it would bring about more flexibility and at the same time encourage more user collaboration by leveraging on mobility and offering better services than what we experience today.

Social networks - tomorrow's iTunes

Social networks have evolved from a new concept to a mainstream business activity involving not only young adults and tech enthusiast, but wide range of people from different age groups. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace currently have an accumulated member count of over 200 Million users. Social networking is currently been used as a way of promoting interpersonal collaboration within the users. However social network sites are adding on new features to provide a more value added service to be competitive in the industry. The main revenue model for social networking sites are through advertisement. Recent survey carried out in the UK, shows promising trends for social networks to act as content distribution platforms. Many of the content distributors such as iTunes which is specialized in online music sales, could loose its business to social networking sites if they are to carry out content distributors as a value added service.As shown by the Digital Entertainment Survey, social network users comprise of people from different age groups, however majority of its users are between the 20-24 age group. More information shown in the diagram below.

Impact of social network on the community has paved way for social networks to operate as a content distributor adding more value to the business model and at the same time strengthening its revenue model. Social networks are currently used as tool for content discovery. According to the survey nearly 30% total respondents and 50% of teenage girls occasionally use social networks to search for new music. whist nearly 25% of the users find out about movies and TV shows via peer recommendation. What is more promising is that 1 in every 5 purchase music based on peer recommendation and have search social networking websites in purchasing music. Survey also revealed that a 40% of the males between the ages of 20-24 years agreed that social networks could be the main way of accessing content if they are available through such websites.MySpace one of the largest online social networking website, has already taken steps to move into the business of content distribution. It is already negotiating with record companies such as Sony BMG, Universal Music, Warner Music and EMI. Even though MySpace already allows its users to listen to music content which are uploaded by different artists themselves, it is not been a successful way of content distribution over the internet.

Adding of new features to the existing business model of social networking websites can have tremendous impacts on pure content distributors such as iTunes. Social networking websites have the advantage over pure content distribution websites as social networks are used as a mode of information gathering before the purchase takes place. This built-in consumer base would allow a social network website to easily transform its business to become a content provider as long as the process of discovering a product to the point of purchase remains easy. In conclusion it can be said that several crucial changes would be made to how social network services operate with websites such as MySpace already taking the initiative in setting the foundation to become a content provider. Other social network websites such as Facebook, Hi5 and Badoo would soon follow into the business of content providing and would allow a social networking website to become a one stop shop for entertainment.
