This Weeks News Update
----------------------
MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
* On 25th December 2006, PG Europe hit the 400 eBooks mark!!
* OOPS! - I had been calculating the totals for 2006 incorrectly. I was
including the totals for the last week of 2005. This has now been corrected.
MOVING FROM 2006 TO 2007, PART 1 [extract]
by Michael Hart
Can you imagine carrying all the books from a public library on your keychain?
That became possible in 2006.
How about carrying the entire Library of Congress?
That will become possible well before 2020.
At prices we can afford, here is the timetable:
2000 = 32 Megabytes
2010 = 32 Gigabytes
2020 = 32 Terabytes
32 terabytes is larger than anyone's estimation of how much a collection as
large as The Library of Congress would take for every word to be stored in
your personal computer.
32 gigabyte thumbdrives made their appearance in 2006, enough memory in a
flashdrive to carry tens of thousands of books on a keychain. While these are
not year affordable to an average person today, they will be by 2010.
32 megabytes was the size of my own first USB memory stick in about the
year 2000, now pretty much of only antique value to someone such as myself,
but they still sell them at Target on the "impulse buy" racks next to the
checkout lanes for $5.

NOTES:
We have several counting methods that often differ by several books. There
is also some duplication between the various collections. Volunteers will
need to take these duplications into account.
The PG Australia total does NOT include PGAU eBooks posted at the U.S.
website; www.gutenberg.org.
The PG Europe numbers are possibly being counted twice (in PGUS and PGEU).
I am hoping to get this confirmed or denied soon.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the
PrePrints Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.

entries. This has now been surpassed by The Online Books Page.
NOTES:
The Project Gutenberg Consortia Center, The Online Books Page & IPL eBooks
were and are the responsibility of the donating eLibraries, and we would be

Singer James Brown, known as the "Godfather of Soul", has died at the age of 73, his agent has said. He was admitted to hospital in Atlanta after being diagnosed with severe pneumonia but died at 0145 local time (0645 GMT), said Frank Copsidas. The star was famous for hits including I Got You (I Feel Good), Papa's Got a Brand New Bag and Living in America. "He is such an influence, I learned so much from him," Mr Copsidas told the BBC World Service. He was dramatic to the end, dying on Christmas Day — Reverend Jesse JacksonBBC News, 25 December 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6208615.stm
Under a new agreement between NASA and Google, considerable amounts of data will be available through applications developed by the space agency. Last year, Google agreed to start a research center at NASA's Ames Research Center. Chris Kemp, director of strategic business development at Ames, said of the data on hand at NASA, "Even though this information was collected for the benefit of everyone, and much is in the public domain, the vast majority of this information is scattered and difficult for non-experts to access and to understand." The new agreement, called the Space Agreement Act, creates a partnership in which data from NASA about the Earth, the moon, and Mars will be accessible through tools such as Google Earth. The two organizations will also work together on new ways to analyze data collected by NASA every year. Michael Griffin, administrator of NASA, said, "This agreement between NASA and Google will soon allow every American to experience a virtual flight over the surface of the moon or through the canyons of Mars."BBC, 19 December 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6192523.stm
A number of industry analysts believe that 2007 will be the year in which revenues from sales of laptops surpass those of desktop computers. According to Richard Farmer, analyst with Merrill Lynch, the current revenue split for PC makers (47 percent desktops, 41.6 percent laptops) will change in 2007 to 45.6 percent laptops and 43.1 percent desktops. By 2008, estimates put revenues from laptops at nearly 50 percent, with desktops representing just 40 percent of revenues. Richard Shim, an analyst with IDC, agrees that revenues for laptops will continue to increase and will pass those from desktops, though he added that the number of desktops shipped will outpace the number of laptops until late 2008 or 2009. One reason revenues are expected to change sooner than shipments is that laptops command higher prices than comparable desktops.eWeek, 19 December 2006 http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2074603,00.asp
Author JK Rowling has revealed the title of the seventh and final Harry Potter book. It will be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The announcement was made on the writer's official website. Despite the publication date not being known, the book is tipped to be a big seller, like the rest in the series. Speculation about the plot has surrounded the book after Rowling admitted two characters will die – some think it could be Harry Potter himself.BBC News, 21 December 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6200745.stm

NOTES:
We have several counting methods that often differ by several books. There
is also some duplication between the various collections. Volunteers will
need to take these duplications into account.
The PG Australia total does NOT include PGAU eBooks posted at the U.S.
website; www.gutenberg.org.
The PG Europe numbers are possibly being counted twice (in PGUS and PGEU).
I am hoping to get this confirmed or denied soon.
PREPRINTS -- http://preprints.readingroo.ms
Please note that sometimes it takes a few weeks for entire collections to fully
appear in the PrePrints Section, thus the count sometimes jumps by a large
number when the files are eventually completed and added in. Also note that the
PrePrint files are just that, PrePrints, and thus may move later to other
locations, including the main collection or The Project Gutenberg Consortia
Center, etc. For example, on June 14, 200 WAP compatible cell phone eBooks
appeared, and will likely be moved to other collection points later.
The entire process of working out the details just to send them to the
PrePrints Section took well over a month.
Even with the speeded up process of the PrePrints Section, it still takes a
certain amount of time to collect and put such a large collection online in a
proper manner.

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plan to donate at least $60 million over the next three years to improve schools in third-world countries. The Gates Foundation will give $40 million to the Hewlett Foundation, which will contribute $20 million to the project. Said Hewlett Foundation President Paul Brest, "It is the first time in our history that we have received a grant from another institution." Sylvia Mathews, president of the Gates Foundation global development program, said that the grant is the largest they have given another grant-making organization. She said her foundation was eager to bolster education in developing nations but realized they would be more successful if they worked with an organization that already had expertise in the field.San Jose Mercury News, 18 December 2006 http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/16266719.htm
Verizon Communications plans to build an undersea, fiber-optic link between the United States and China, partnering with China Telecom, China Netcom, China Unicom, and companies in Korea and Taiwan. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2007 and end late in 2008. Data transport speeds are predicted to reach 10 gigabits per second for individual customers. The new line enhances a lower-speed system that is the sole direct link between the two countries. USA Today, 18 December 2006 http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2006-12-18-verizon-china_x.htm
Chinese authorities this week announced an agreement with four trade associations about the ongoing problem of copyright infringement, which is reportedly rampant in China. The Business Software Alliance and the Publishers Association (both in the United Kingdom), the Association of American Publishers, and the Motion Picture Association of America (in the United States) signed the memorandum of understanding, under which the organizations will provide the Chinese government with lists of products that should be protected by copyright law. The four groups will also keep Chinese authorities informed about legal actions against suspected copyright infringers. The National Copyright Association of China will oversee the information from the four groups and will work to improve the country’s efforts at enforcing copyrights.CNET, 15 December 2006
