World's fastest internet will send Britannica to Shoreditch in 7 sec
By Adam Sherwin, Media Correspondent
A BRITISH-designed internet system promises to
break the “four-minute mile” of broadband technology by delivering the fastest
web service on the planet to British households.
Residents in Shoreditch, East London, will become the first to test a new
advance in broadband technology when they switch on a new set-top box that
combines the functions of a television and computer.
Introduced this month, the system will allow 20,000 households to surf the web
and download material at speeds up to 2,000 times faster than present services.
Users will, for example, be able to download all 32,640 pages of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica in less than seven seconds, managers of the
government-funded project said.
Most commercially-available broadband connections operate at a speed of 2
megabits per second (2Mb/s), but the Shoreditch project can access internet
images and content at a speed of up to 2 billions of bits per second (2Gb/s).

Back to the Future 4 M.J Fox
 Michael J Fox is set to star in a new ‘Back To The Future’ time-traveling
movie.
The actor, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, wants to make a fourth and
final film of the much-loved series.
But the 44-year-old star has several conditions – that movie bosses makes his
character as old as he is in real life and he stars as eccentric scientist Doc
Brown – formerly played by Christopher Lloyd.
He told website Moviehole.net: "The only way it would work would be if I played
Doc.
"I'm 44-years-old now and I'm not interested in running around on skateboards!"
"I think after 1, 2 and 3 we all kind of felt we had done it."
"And I think if they did it again now they would do it with a younger cast and
just do a different realization of it, which would be fun."

in 1977. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is reborn with the familiar
face furniture and bondage leathers of Darth Vader, the Emperor (a splendid
Ian McDiarmid) reveals his nefarious plot, and we discover the true origins of
Leia, Luke, Yoda and a certain walking carpet.

The 9/11 WTC Collapses:
CNN report demontrates the feeble nature of the mainstream media's investigation into the WTC collapses. The circumstances surrounding the 2,749 World Trade Center deaths on 9/11 should be scrutinized, not fantasized.
Below are aspects of the WTC collapses which are routinely dismissed as 'conspiracy theories' because they go against the official line, even though they're based on fact, not fantasy.
