The CBC is reporting that a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Science, Washington State University, and the University of Leuven in Belgium have devised a synthesized organic dye molecule that could potentially be used to make the Internet considerably speedier, not to mention more fashionable (on a molecular level, at least) than it is in its current undyed state. Supposedly, the molecule reacts more strongly to light than any others tested -- some fifty percent better, specifically, which could apparently translate to a direct increase in data transmission rates if applied to optical fibers or computer circuits. Of course, this is all strictly confined to the lab for the time being, with no indication given as to when we might actually see the dye coating the sides of the Internet's tubes.[Via The Inquirer]
Shouldn't that be internets' ? :p
OMG dude.. get a fucking life.. even if it was "Internets'" instead of "Internet's" who gives a fuck? Comment's are there to discuss something about the article, not to fucking jump up and down if an author makes a typo.. when will you dumb pricks ever learn?
Actually, no, "Internet's" is correct. "internets'" is wrong, because it refers to more than one internet. (Also, "Internet" is a proper noun, and should be capitalized.)
If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, do it properly.
No, there is only one "Internet", singular noun.
It was a reference to the Daily Show, not a grammar correction hence the :P
Wow, some of you need to make a New Year's resolution to grow a sense of humor.
I for one, welcome our grammatically incorrect Nazi overlords.
Internets' is appropriate, as the "internets" being referred to (as a logical corollary to "tubes") should be in the plural genitive usage.
So stop being a bunch of pansies.
Way to ruin a pun, Mr. Grammar-Nazi.
Oh my...
Looks like we have some grammar nazi joke nazis over here! Phone the correction squad, quickly!
LOl. It's ok I was just refering to this:

And of course the tubes...

Very good pun. :) Not being a Mr. Grammar-Nazi. Just going a bit over the top.
Please everyone.. get a life and enjoy the damn articles.
Groooooovy.
haha, it's like a vein.
Now that the grammar battle is over do any of you Grammar Nazis have specific knowledge in rocketry? I am looking to develop a space program.
