A complete overhaul of the way in which people navigate the internet has been given the go-ahead in Paris. The process of introducing the new system will start in 2009.
The net's regulator, Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called "top-level" domain names, such as .com or .uk. The decision means that companies could turn brands into web addresses, while individuals could use their names.
A second proposal, to introduce domain names written in scripts, such as Asian and Arabic, was also approved.

From Colin Campbell at Macleans's (not the NHL):
Poor, poor Microsoft. The same week that Apple brings the world the iPhone 2, Microsoft watches Google strike up a deal with the company it was once courting, Yahoo. And then it goes and unleashes this ridiculous piece of technology on the world, the Microsoft Surface tablet table. It’s the worst invention since the Zune. You have to see the video of the tablet table in action in Las Vegas to fully appreciate its awfulness. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to scratch your eyes out. |
