To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, DARPA has announced the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the roles the Internet and social networking play in the timely communication, wide-area team-building, and urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope, time-critical problems.
The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roads.
Nicht nur der Brockhaus wurde ein Opfer des Medienumbruchs und von Wikipedia. Auch Microsofts Encarta hat nach langem Kampf aufgegeben und wird im Sommer aus den CD-ROM-Regalen verschwinden. Ihre Webseiten sperren im Laufe des Jahres zu.
