San Francisco company Teleports Food via the Internet
San Francisco Company is the First to Teleport Food through the InternetBush Administration Refuses to Comment Citing National Security ConcernsSAN FRANCISCO, APRIL 1 -- The technology of Star Trek is here and Global IP Solutions (GIPS), a Swedish technology company with headquarters in San Francisco, has broken ground in "teleporting" items of food and drink by passing them through the Internet. A video was leaked on the Internet showing a technology called "GIPS ConferenceEngine Multimedia," teleporting a banana from San Francisco to Stockholm.GIPS' researchers were among the first to initially break ground in 1999 by enabling Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a technology that allows you to make voice and video conference calls using an Internet connection instead of a regular phone line. Now their researchers sheepishly admit that behind the scenes they have successfully "BoIPed" a banana but stopped short of sending any animals or humans. John Gallagher a company spokesman said the principles behind transmitting voice and video were fine-tuned to 'teleport' the items. "Essentially, we've taken our video technology and adapted it to transmit physical items similar to the way 'Star Trek' teleported Captain Kirk."The breakthrough was initially leaked via a number of telecommunication blogs and publications. Now that teleporting in principle has been shown to work, serious questions are now arising about the impact on the transportation industry. There are potentially devastating implications for the car and transport industry, which could be left behind if the technology can safely teleport people via the Internet. The leaked video stunned transportation authorities worldwide and despite repeated attempts a spokesperson from the International Transport Authority Association (IATA) was unavailable for comment. President Bush's administration refused to comment on the accuracy of the report citing "national security concerns." "Look, GIPS is not out to destroy the transport industry it's just enabling real-time video communication, so service providers, application developers and enterprises can offer their customers high-quality video conferencing without the need for expensive hardware," said Gallagher "But think about how much we could reduce carbon emissions - the time, money and stress spent flying. It also greatly improves day-today communication in this global economy."The engineering team's clandestine effort has paid off as the bananas are being savored in Stockholm. In the near term, the main application of the breakthrough is likely to be providing fresh California fruit to Stockholm where fresh fruit is rare in the cold winter months. "We're a long way from teleporting people just think about what happened to the guy in the movie, 'The Fly,'" said Gallagher.
