Anyone here about the grid? 10,000 times faster then the internet? I cant wait for it to take over . "The Internet could soon be made obsolete. The scientists who pioneered it have now built a lightning-fast replacement capable of downloading entire feature films within seconds. At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid†will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds. The latest spin-off from Cern, the particle physics centre that created the web, the grid could also provide the kind of power needed to transmit holographic images; allow instant online gaming with hundreds of thousands of players; and offer high-definition video telephony for the price of a local call." I qouted the above from some Website I also, heard this news on the radio.
I heard something about that...unfortunately, by the time this new high speed internet matrix becomes available to the average joe around the world at a reasonable price, a lot of us will probably be dead and gone.
Higgs Bosons God Particles make this possible! Theres about two dozen companys accoding to walstreet journal that are trying to purchase rights to the grid. I will be puting what ever I can into stocks for this :-D
This is the first I have heard of it, but it does sound like they're onto something. I think it could be seen as the Internet V2. Hopefully they'll find someway to limit the number of sites so "The Grid" is just a pure quality network.
