The Internet as you know it is set to become a lot faster. The Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire, more commonly known as CERN, is widely recognized as world’s largest particle physics laboratory. And while these atom smashers are better known for creating anti-matter and breaking apart the building blocks of the universe, they have also been hard at work improving the performance of Internet.

CERN’s ambitious Internet project is called, “The Grid” and uses dedicated fiber along with modern routing centers to create a new faster Internet. Just how fast?

Blogging may be fun for some, but it can lead to some serious health problems according to an article by the New York Times. According to the article, bloggers are under a great deal of stress due to the need to to break the latest facts and news before their competitors do. Some health problems reported by bloggers include weight loss, weight gain, sleep disorders and exhaustion.

The problem has come to light recently due to the death of two well-known bloggers including Russell Shaw and Marc Orchant. Both died of a heart attack. A third well-known blogger, Om Malik, also suffered a heart attack back in December, but survived.

Like most things in life, the issue at work here is stress.

The NYC Ring Flash Camera comes with a tagline “Now You’re Ready To Become A Fashion Photographer”, and truth be told, that ain’t very far from the point at all. After all, with the flash of the camera handing around the lens in a loop, images captured this way will result in typically high contrast, accompanied by dark vignettes to give an overall lomo feel. The handle-bar styled grip also ensures the camera won’t suffer from (too) blur pictures whenever you snap images with a single hand.

That’s according to Ryoji Chubachi, the CEO of Sony Electronics. Sony thinks that there is a market for such TVs, and they might be right for Japan, where apartments can be very small. However, even when I lived in a tiny apartment in Europe, I hated the idea of having an integrated player (VHS, DVD…) embedded in my TV.

Sony wants to grab as much “Blu-Ray hardware” market share as it can in 2008, so I guess that these TVs will show up sometimes this year, probably in Q4.

Posted Apr 7th 2008 2:43AM by Thomas RickerFiled under: Misc. gadgetsLee Kun-hee, Samsung’s 66 year old chairman and son of the company’s founder, made a potentially damning announcement over the weekend. Following 11 hours of interrogation by prosecutors into allegations of bribery and maintaining a slush fund (among other improprieties), Lee said, “This is all due to my carelessness. I am responsible for everything and must take responsibility.” We won’t know for sure until the investigation is complete. However, the statement is less likely an admission of guilt than it is an attempt to appease the people of South Korea where the Samsung “chaebol” is more than just a brand, it’s a national symbol of pride… (Read the full post about ‘Samsung boss responds to bribery probe: “I am responsible”’…)
