CERN Will Deliver Your Porn 10,000 Times Faster!

CERN, the kindly people who might destroy the Earth, and who also helped develop the Internet back in 1989, have developed a new super-fast version of the Internet they are calling "The Grid." Built primarily to help deliver data from the Large Hadron Collider to universities around the world, the Grid is based around fiber-optic networks and can achieve speeds 10,000 times faster than current broadband connections. And the best part is it's already built. They began work on it years ago, and it will go online the same day as the LHC. It currently consists of 55,000 servers, all over the world. Now, us lowly consumers probably won't get a taste for years to come, just in the same way that the original Internet was first used exclusively by universities, then slowly trickled into the consumer realm.
