"I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedom that they're interested in."

I'm an undergraduate at University of Colombo School of Computing, Sri Lanka. I'm doing a research on "Semantic web prefetching". In order to do a literature survey I want some related papers to review.
Based on a combination of Oracle software and innovative Sun hardware, including Sun's breakthrough FlashFire technology, Oracle Exadata V2 is built on a massively parallel architecture that brings together fast servers, and high-bandwidth interconnects between storage and database servers — a design that radically accelerates database processing and delivers exceptional performance.
Available in a range of configurations, the new Oracle Exadata V2 combines compute, storage and networking technologies, and features Sun FlashFire Technology to turbocharge applications. This uniquely well-balanced CPU, I/O and memory system yields high throughput networking and performance, designed and tuned for Oracle technology.
The result is a quantum leap in performance over Oracle's previous generation Exadata machine, including a 20x increase in random I/O and a 5x I/O bandwidth speedup with FlashFire Technology, as well as a 2x speedup in compute and network performance capacity. In short, the Oracle Exadata V2 is the world's fastest machine for both data warehousing and online transaction processing.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
