Superbbbb

Japanese rock in whatever they do, they are in an advanced world. India will have to do a lot of work to catch up to that world, we are wasting time on stupid things like "north indians out of mumbai", "reservations for SC/ST", "appease the minority". I dont know if it is to do with a lot of jobless people who have no work and resort to these things. Anyways who cares!!! coming back to the actual issue....there has been two great things that happened this week. One was the US showing its technological advances by shooting down a satellite and second one is about the new super speed internet satellite launched by japan.

The satellite carries a new tech payload which if proves successful, subscribers with small dishes will be able to connect to the Internet at speeds (1.2 GB per second) many times faster than what is now available over residential cable or DSL services.

"Among other uses, this will make possible great advances in telemedicine, which will bring high-quality medical treatment to remote areas, and in distance education, connecting students and teachers separated by great distances,"

I hope this technology wont be "mis-used" to get on facebook to post messages or used to download illegal movies :D
