“Switch Off Lights for 1hour ~EARTH HOUR INDIA~ MARCH 28 ~ 08:30 PM – 09:30 PM ~ & Join the world in making a statement aganst Global Warming”

You can find a washer just about anywhere that promises to consume less water than most of its rivals, but finding one that’s “virtually waterless” is still a chore. Yeah, there was that one contraption from Singapore a few years back, but c’mon, it’s no bona fide washing machine. Nevertheless, a University of Leeds spin-out company — dubbed Xeros — has already received £500,000 in order to commercialize a device that “uses less than 2% of the water and energy of a conventional washing machine.” Instead, it relies on a plethora of plastic chips that are tumbled with the clothes to remove stains. We’re not sure how comfortable we really are with the thought of that, but folks that have already warmed to the idea can look for these things to hit the UK market in 2009.

When you’re looking to set a record this is how you do it. Not only has IBM’s Roadrunner supercomputer come on-line, it’s now the world’s fastest — twice as fast as the old BluGene/L champ — and churning through 1.026 quadrillion calculations per second. The $133 million supercomputer achieved the milestone with the help of 12,960 “improved” Cell processors (yes, like those powering your PS3) and a smaller number of AMD Opteron processors — 116,640 processor cores in total. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending upon your perspective), Roadrunner is for military use only so you’ll have to solve the traveling salesman problem on your own time.

It seems as if Tata Communications is out to one-up BSNL — or at least claim its share of the limelight, anyway. More specifically, the outfit has teamed up with Telsima in order to roll out the “world’s largest commercial WiMAX network” in India. Over 5,000 enterprise / retail customers are already connected in ten cities, and there are plans in place to secure nearly a quarter million customers in retail alone during fiscal year 2009. Furthermore, we’re hearing that the services should be stretched to 110 cities for enterprise users and 15 cities for the retail segment by the year’s end, but users in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Cochin, Chandigarh, and Kolkata are the only ones celebrating at the moment. Not a bad way to grab a bit more market share from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, eh?
