Different topic but this breaking news might be of interest Jeff.

Researchers at IBM and the Georgia Institute of Technology are set to announce Tuesday that they have broken the speed record for silicon-based chips with a semiconductor that operates 250 times faster than chips commonly used now. The NEW YORK TIMES reports: The achievement is a major step in the evolution of computer semiconductor technology that could eventually lead to faster networks and more powerful electronics at lower prices, said Bernard Meyerson, vice president and chief technologist in IBM 's systems and technology group. He said developments like this one typically find their way into commercial products in 12 to 24 months.

Jeff I saw a comment by "mokhseinabd" in your cnet column. Well I've also tried http://nonexistentwebsite.com, http://sorrythepagecannotbedisplayed.com and also http://gohomenothingtoseehere.com and they all ended up as nice looking websitegraphs. So my question to you is are you sure this guy Sala's applet is capturing your "social network" or is it all a hoax. I mean what social network do these websitegraphs show when in the first place these websites don't even exist ?
