Google has just quietly launched an online magazine called Think Quarterly. This magazine  has a  mission  as 'a place among the world breaks a busy'.

"At Google, we often think that speed is the killer application of the concoction differentiator between the winners and the usual. We know that the faster we deliver results, our services will prove useful to others. However, among the world was changing rapidly , we still need time to reflect, "said Matt Brittin, Google's Managing Director UK and Ireland, in the preface in the magazine.

Think Quarterly first edition has come with 68 pages, most discussed topics around issues of business and technology, with a style of writing in-depth as it is commonly found in the BusinessWeek or Salon.

In this edition, Google presents some writing features on Vodafone UK CEO Guy Laurence, Google Chief Economist Hal Varian and Peter Kruse famous psychologist.

The writings in this edition are many written by reporters from other media, such as Simon Rogers (editor rubric Datablog in The Guardian), Ulrike Reinhard (editor of WE Magazine).

Magazine which comes with a lot of data and rich Flash applications  that were edited and designed by creative agency  of The  Church, based in London.

It was unclear whether this online magazine is a sign that Google was entering the media business or simply create a project to eliminate the sense of wonder that company alone.

World's fastest computer

Title of world's fastest computer was taken back to the United States. A super computers made by the U.S. Energy Department official was elected as the world's fastest computer. Similarly, researchers from PhysOrg.com presented, Thursday, March 24, 2011.

The computer was named "Titan". His ability is estimated to have a speed of 20 000 trillion calculations (calculations) per second, equal to 20 petaflops per second.

This speed is ultimately shift the super computer made in China, Tianhe-1A, which had previously been in the top position since November 2010. At that time, computers made by China's National Defense University has recorded an equivalent speed of 2.5 petaflops.

Titan, which was developed by Cray Computer, for the first time become part of the ranks of the world's fastest computer in the facility Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee.

In these facilities, laboratories ranks the world's fastest computer will be aligned with the lab of National Geographic, Gaea Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation Kraken, and the U.S. Department of Energy lab development, Jaguar.

Going forward, Titan will likely be used by the local Department of Energy to calculate the complex energy systems and government cost of U.S. $ 100 million, equivalent to Rp 870 billion.

The first stage of computation using the Titan is expected by the end of 2011. The second phase followed in subsequent years
