The Data Compression News Blog

Things were getting a bit boring with no Zeosync/Gilbert style hoax cases around. Here comes another one to fill the emptiness. Carry the internet in your thumb drive, and search it super fast, anywhere you want.

Wrensoft is pleased to announce that it has achieved a major breakthrough in search technology.

Through a new technique known as Compression by Recursive Annulus Primes, huge volumes of data from the web can now be compressed into tiny index files. Using this revolutionary technology it will now be possible, for the first time, to carry around your own personal copy of the internet on a device such as high capacity USB thumb drive.

This will allow searching of the internet, even while not being connected to the internet and faster searching as all the required files will be stored locally rather than on the network.

This new technique is based on work described in patents 5,533,051 and 5,488,364 but introduces new concepts of repeated recursive compression based on the newly discovered mersenne 42 prime, to achieve compression rates previously thought impossible according to the laws of information theory.

We believe that this is so significant a breakthrough that we planning on releasing a new version of our Zoom web search engine within the next few weeks. The current version is Version 4. This new version will be known as Version 9. (Intermediate version numbers 5 through 8 will be skipped because this will be such a significant release).

We also hope to introduce this technology into many 3rd world countries where obtaining Internet access is problematic. This will solve the education crisis developing nations by allowing the full content of the internet to be stored in any computing device, such as a mobile phone or digital watch.
