• ReadWriteWeb: Less Than 1 Year Until The Internet Runs Out of Addresses
  Currently the Web largely uses IPv4, Internet Protocol version 4. Each IPv4 address is limited to a 32-bit number, which means there are a maximum of just over 4 billion unique addresses. IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol and uses a 128-bit address, so it supports a vastly larger number of unique addresses. Enough, in fact, to give every person on the planet over 4 billion addresses!

• G20 — Toronto 2010
  Police dealing with G20 demonstrators can use sonic cannons for crowd control, but with restrictions, Superior Court of Justice Mr. David Brown ruled this morning, reports The Star's Peter Edwards. 
  
  But he ruled Toronto police can only use the noise blasters at the lower decibel range. Ontario Provincial Police still have the discretion to use the cannons at both the lower and highest decibel settings, the judge said, because their guidelines for use are more cautious. That means the OPP can't come right up to someone and blast them.
  
  The justice stressed that the OPP were not permitted to use the cannons at random. "Their use requires very serious authorization," he said. Crowd safety would benefit from police having a quick and effective means of communicating with protesters, he said.

• Pew Internet: The Future of Cloud Computing
  "Technology experts and stakeholders say they expect they will ‘live mostly in the cloud’ in 2020 and not on the desktop, working mostly through cyberspace-based applications accessed through networked devices. This will substantially advance mobile connectivity through smartphones and other internet appliances. Many say there will be a cloud-desktop hybrid. Still, cloud computing has many difficult hurdles to overcome, including concerns tied to the availability of broadband spectrum, the ability of diverse systems to work together, security, privacy, and quality of service."
