03. The Grid may change everything about online interactions. CERN, where the "father" of the WWW Tim Berners-Lee started the web, is busy working on "the grid", a new high speed wide area network of dedicated equipment and fiber which is reminiscent of the origin of the Internet. It is being prepared in conjunction with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator built to probe the origin of the Universe. The grid claims speeds nearly 10,000 times faster than the Internet. If adopted for commercial use, it could support HD video to your desktop in a couple seconds. The possibilities are staggering, but right now it is only set up for research. Specifically it will allow for rapid distributed processing of the LHC's output, a task that would be impossible on the current Internet and costly for CERN to stand up locally.

09. Microsoft rips off the wii-mote - Will wonders never cease? Rumor has it that is exactly what is happening. An article on MTV.com cites an inside source showing them a sketch of a prototype motion controller that shares much in common with the Wii, but no nunchuck. The analog stick is on the wand. It also details a Mii like feature with a "more detailed" avatar. This won't be a niche title support item either. M$ is looking to Wii-ify their shooters ala Metroid and include the "waggle" concept wherever they can. Best or worst idea ever?? As Fox News says, We report, You decide. --Neo

I mistakenly called Five Finger Death Punch Thrash last week when it is clearly metal. I apologize for my blatant ignorance.
