Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and domestic data storage
In this week's Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski ...
Sir Tim Berners-Lee tells Bobbie Johnson all about "web science". It's a new discipline that will pull together
different strands of research and thinking about the web, with a view to safeguarding its future. He explains how it
will differ from other disciplines like computer science, and discusses whether it will accelerate the development
of the "semantic web".
Charles Arthur takes us to the Guardian's server room, and into his own house ... in fact, there's nowhere he won't
take us in his exploration of data storage. It seems everyone has a staggering 500 gigabytes of storage in their
homes on average, so Charles investigates where it's all coming from and what it's being used for. Is it worth
investing in network storage, or should we simply back up everything over the internet?
In our weekly trawl of the news, Jemima Kiss has news of the Yahoo-Microsoft takeover bid; Apple's troubles in
releasing the new iPhone 3G in the UK; and the No pictures as yet, but we have a sighting. Jemima tries to drum up
support for her campaign to sabotage the resulting pictures ... by getting you to strip in front of the camera.
Let us know if you're willing to get 'em off. |
