KGB Archiver is amazing compression tool. It gives magnificiant results however its very high demanding on PC.

Quote from KGB Archiver Site :

“KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. Unfortunately although its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (I recommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human”

* Google Reader has two kinds of feeds:
- feeds that have one subscriber (two thirds from the number of feeds, they’re updated every 3 hours)
- feeds that have more than one subscriber (these feeds are updated every hour)

* Google Reader uses 10 TB for storing all the raw data

* Google Reader crawls 8 million feeds

* Google Reader is the only major feed reader that keeps the entire history for all the feeds.

* many Google applications use Google Reader’s infrastructure for feeds: iGoogle, orkut, Gmail’s web clips, Blogger widgets, Google Spreadsheets, Ajax API. Google Reader is the place for any kind of user-driven activities that involve feeds and it’s independent from Google Blog Search.

* the rate of user growth = the rate of growth for the number of feeds

* the index size grows 4% every week

* 70% of the Google Reader traffic comes from Firefox (a lot of geeky users)

* Gmail and orkut are the only Google applications that have a bigger number of pageviews/user than Google Reader

* search requires a lot of computational resources. Google Reader uses two indexes for search:
- a big tree updated twice a day (150machines, 600 million documents)
- 40 small trees for recent posts, updated every 5 minutes (40 machines, 40million documents)

* future features:
- very soon: internationalization, feed recommendations, accepting pings sent to Google Blog Search
- in the near future: simple clustering based on links (posts that link to the same page), adding comments to the shared items
- idea for monetization: adding AdSense ads and sharing the revenue with publishers, assuming they use AdSense

A seven-year-old, dual-licensed project for cross-platform multimedia middleware has achieved its first stable release. Motama’s NMM (network-integrated multimedia middleware) 1.0 is said to let developers build whole-house multimedia applications with advanced features such as “follow-me” handoff from one device to another.

The NMM project was founded in 2000 by Professor Philipp Slusallek, of Stanford University and later of the Computer Graphics Lab at Saarland University, Germany. A version of NMM for Linux was released under an open source license in 2002. Then, in 2005, Saarland University researchers Marco Lohse and Michael Repplinger founded Motama, together with Slusallek, in order to commercialize NMM. The new 1.0 release of NMM, which now also supports Windows XP and Vista, is the first to be officially maintained by Motama….
