To do so they are building a new network to carry all this data with a speed of more than 10,000 times the speed Internet now has. The Grid it’s called, and no doubt about it that this project will succeed, cause these people also invented the Internet.

Wasn’t web 2.0 not all about the best web experience we could ever imagine? 
It was the 21st of April in the year 2008, a long waited day for mankind. The Ubuntu society released Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04, form now on you can do pretty much the same as you could do with the previous version 
Two students developed a program changes in their plans, are transmitted by e-mail or SMS. The program get it’s changes from their school website and sends them to the students, who have signed themselves up, whom plans are changed.
