Google Buys a Piece of a Cable To Japan 78
Googling Yourself writes "Google announced that they will be part of a six-company consortium that will build a high-bandwidth sub-sea fiber optic cable linking the US and Japan. The new cable system, named Unity, is expected initially to increase Trans-Pacific lit cable capacity by about 20 percent, with the potential to add up to 7.68 Terabits per second of bandwidth across the Pacific. The name Unity was chosen to signify a new type of consortium, born out of potentially competing systems, to emerge as a system within a system, offering ownership and management of individual fiber pairs. Rumors that Google would join the consortium had originally surfaced in September last year but the company had declined to confirm or deny the news."

Californian valley girls soon learn what it's like to live with the horror that Japanese schoolgirls face everyday. Meanwhile, enterprising west-coast "gonzo" porn makers film the horrifying attacks and sell them as "Californian Schoolgirl Tentacle Hentai 9".
