SONY CREATES LIGHTER THAN AIR NOTEBOOK Tokyo, Japan – One standard that has carried through all electronics and mechanics has been miniaturization. Across every field and over centuries of invention the size of components, and in relation the size of machines has steadily declined, resulting in ever more capable and aesthetically appealing devices. In recent years, the trend toward miniaturization has moved away from necessity to marketing with components starting to reach a finite size. One area that has been most evident has been in the personal laptop market which has taken the shrinking in size, and most importantly in weight, to an entirely new level. GOOGLE TO RELEASE THEIR OWN VERSION OF SKYNET Mountain View, CA - Arguably, Google is the most important and influential web companies ever. True, they were not the first big company. True, they simply improved on existing concepts. True, other companies laid the path that allowed Google to succeed. Despite all of that, Google’s success and dominance over so much of the web-based world means that their footprint over the format is huge, and that footprint has paved the way for the growth of the web in general, popularizing the medium and allowing other companies to flourish. |
MAN DIES AFTER TRYING TO DIGG EVERY SINGLE STORYButte, MT – There are many stories of small companies starting in garages and eventually becoming hugely successful. Apple did it, literally building their first machines in a garage. Microsoft did it with virtually no money in the bank. Google was started by a pair of students working on a research project. In the modern age, stories of this kind are common, so much so that many people feel that small independent start-ups are the only way to have real success in the world of computers and the web.
DOWNLOADING AT ALL TIME HIGH AS CONSUMERS FEAR INTERNET COLLAPSE New York, NY – When Tim Berners-Lee made his first baby steps towards inventing the World Wide Web it’s likely he had an idea of the potential. That now seemingly simple step of combining hypertext, domains, and TCP which essentially created the Web is one of the great stories of discovery on par with the discovery of penicillin or the creation of the sandwich. With hundreds of millions of users now dependent on the web and the internet as a whole, Berners-Lee’s invention has radically changed the world, and that may in fact be its undoing. |
