As of October 28, 2009 a total of 403 exoplanets have been discovered to date. The mass of an exoplanet is limited by classification. A planet's mass has an upper limit of 13 Jupiter masses as this is the upper limit for an object that can not fuse Deuterium. Any "exoplanet" larger than this limit is generally considered a brown dwarf.
Now we know of 861 exoplanets, with several thousand awaiting confirmation

b. there have been many advances in information technology.

We hardly know yet. Planets other than those in our own solar system (called "extrasolar" planets or "exoplanets") have only been discovered in the last ten years or so. About a thousand are known, but astronomers feel there must be many, many more.
The biggest Jonas Brothers fans ever are Sarah, Madison,and Becca. This has been proven. Although many arguments have been very turvy, they have been physically and mentally proven to be the best fans. Argue all you want to, you cannot change facts.
