Fast

BBC News and The Daily Telegraph wrote earlier this week about the French engineering giant Alstom who has unveiled a new high-speed train. The AGV (Automotrice Grande Vitesse) train will travel at up to 360km/h (224mph), powered by engines placed under each carriage.

Alstom compares the AGV - successor to the TGV - to the world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380 plane, in terms of importance and innovation. The capacity will be increased from 485 to 650 passengers, and at the same time reduce energy consumption by 15 percent. The train will also make less noise.

The first trains will hit the rails in Italy in 2011 and in France around 2014.

Another story that caught my eyes last week was the exploratory plans for a ultrafast eco-friendly passenger jet.

With funding from the European Space Agency, a team of engineers and scientists has come up with the A2, a plane they believe could carry 300 passengers at a top speed of more than 6400km/h (3,000mph)!

Not sure if this is going to be the next thing in the Olympics, but it sure is impressive…

Last year in my post “Microsoft the new #1 web server?” I described the changes in web server market shares according to Netcraft. However, these statistics might give a somewhat wrong overall picture as Netcraft apparently counts every virtual host as one server.

If you look at the most recent web server survey from Security Space you will notice that the changes are far from dramatic (at least from Apache’s point of view). Furthermore it also looks like Netcraft are adjusting/reversing the trend displayed last year.
