ZUKER-A NEW SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE!!

A new social networking website started by Harvard Univ passed outs who were the real cause for FB.. Join in this and u can own shares of the website... Its cool...!!!

Zurker is a completely new and revolutionary concept,
so here is a quick overview.

The most mind-blowing thing is that Zurker members can
own part of Zurker. Wow!!!

Just bring some friends here, without which your Zurker
experience wouldn't be as much fun anyway, and we'll
give you equity. REALLY! As more and more people join
Zurker, traffic and revenue will grow, increasing the
value of your vShares.

If you have a minute, take a look at these pages.

Introducing GroupMe(From the makers of Skype) - Free group messaging on mobile phones

GroupMe is the easiest way to chat with the people and groups you really know, wherever you are.It allows group messaging ,photo sharing,and also share your locations.

GROUP MESSAGING: Start groups with the people already in your contacts. When you send a message, everyone instantly receives it. It’s like a private chat room.

PHOTO SHARING:Photos can be shared within the conversation.

LOCATION SHARING:Share your current locations and also find your friend's location in the map provided.

GroupMe works on almost every cell phone and there’s an app available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7. And best of all, the app is free.But this app is not avaiable foe symbian os.

Scientists achieve 186Gbps transfer rate across standard fiber optic line

Heralding a practical new way to transfer data at unprecedented speeds, scientists from Caltech and the University of Victoria have achieved a sustained data transfer rate between computers of 186Gbps, across a standard, commercially available fibre optic line. Real world applications for such speeds already exist, with many scientific projects across the world needing to share petabytes of data with other institutions.
The team of researchers consisted of scientists from various fields, including high-energy physics, computer science, and engineering. The 186Gbps transfer rate (98Gbps in one direction, 88Gbps in the other) was achieved over a 100Gbps bidirectional fibre optic line that stretched 217km from the SuperComputing 2011 (SC11) convention in Seattle, to the University of Victoria Computer Centre in Canada.
While speeds of more than a 100Tbps have been achieved in the past, they have either been inordinately expensive, or done over specialized networks. Also, the team from Caltech and the University of Victoria transferred data from computer to computer, quite different from just a demonstration of speed

The Caltech team at SC11 used 13 servers and 40Gbps LAN connections, while University of Victoria team used 10 servers and 10Gbps LAN connections to achieve the two computer-to-computer data transfer rate records, which were sustained for 11 hours each.
The first record, the 186Gbps data transfer rate (~23.25GBps) was achieved in a memory-to-memory transfer, while the second, 60Gbps (~7.5GBps) was achieved in a disk-to-disk transfer.
Refer to the Caltech SuperComputing 2011 site for more details about the equipment used in the record-breaking attempt, as well as the Caltech press release. Also, check out the rather excitedly narrated video below, demonstrating the team’s efforts:http://jagathm93.itechgenie.com
