The Large Hadron Collider: Big is back

November 26th, 2009 | No Comments

The world’s largest and most expensive experiment is up and running. Again

SOMETIMES the only way to crack a nut is with a sledgehammer. Such is the case with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an experiment so grand that it spans two countries in its quest for subatomic particles so tiny that they are literally almost nothing. It was ingloriously shut down after springing a helium leak in September 2008, before it had even got properly going. If all is well over the next few days, though, it will become the most powerful particle collider in the world.

The machine lies 100 metres below the countryside, straddling the Franco-Swiss border outside Geneva. This is where CERN, the European particle-physics laboratory, has its headquarters. The LHC is housed in a circular tunnel some 27 kilometres (17 miles) around. At four points on this circle sit vast experimental halls where beams of protons, circulating at more than 99.99% of the speed of light in a vacuum comparable to that of outer space, will collide at temperatures just above absolute zero. Tens of thousands of physicists from more than 100 countries are watching to see what happens when they do so. …

Large Crowd Gains Insight into Future of Cloud Computing

November 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

Most of the 30 or so sessions on Day 1 of the Cloud Computing Conference Expo were well-attended, and the three main presentations in the late afternoon were packed to standing-room-only status. That there exists plenty of hunger for information on this topic is a no-brainer.
– SANTA CLARA, Calif. There may be a worldwide recession that is cutting back travel for many people, but don’t tell it to the organizers and attendees of the fourth annual Cloud Computing Conference amp; Expo, which opened Nov. 2 and is being held here at the Convention Center through Nov. 4.

REVIEW: Talend Open Studio Makes Quick ETL Work of Large Data Sets

September 29th, 2009 | No Comments

The free, open-source Talend Open Studio makes it easy to round up data, tweak it en masse, and load it into target systems such as databases and enterprise applications.
– When I reviewed the iLuminate
4.0 data warehousing product in June, I spent a healthy share of my testing
time getting the data I’d chosen for testing a set of campaign finance records
from the OpenSecrets project cleaned up and ready for loading into the

Google Wave, HTML 5 Loom Large in the Future of Google Apps

August 28th, 2009 | No Comments

Google, which has been revving new Docs features almost every two weeks, continues to position Docs more and more as a team collaboration application and an alternative to Microsoft Office, which is focused on individual productivity. So, what’s changed about Google’s competitive differentiation between Docs and Office? Perhaps nothing, but Google said more users are interested in co-authoring documents and creating multiple versions that update on the fly. That leads us to Google Wave, the HTML 5-based collaboration platform that could point to the future of Google Apps.
– While it has been a fairly quiet summer for Google Apps, the search engine
giant’s enterprise team is intent on reaching a broader audience with the
suite’s Docs and Sites collaboration tools, a Google product manager told
eWEEK.
Google on Aug. 27 added the ability to translate documents in t…
