ICANN, the Internet's key oversight committee, held a conference in Paris the week of June 23, 2008 and voted to allow the influx of a seemingly limitless amount of new top level domains (TLDs). They also approved a proposal that would allow for public comment on the issue of web addresses in non-English languages. The ramifications of such changes are huge and we aim to address all of them in this article. Discuss (1)
I've been saying for years that the Internet is too slow. Right now, it takes at least an hour for me to download an illegally pirated movie. I can't think of anything more backwards and unjust.

Have I got your attention? Good. Come join me inside. Discuss (1)

Always. Discuss (3)

Reviewing web hosts is hard. There is little to differentiate one from another, and bad reviews can lead to chain reactions from which the web host being reviewed may not recover or may lose money. With the commoditized nature of the business, small differences in service can lead to large differences noticed by observers. This article continues our series of web host reviews. Discuss (9)

Have you ever tried to explain yourself to someone, but for whatever reason, it just wasn't registering? You try breaking it down so that each part is more understandable by itself than as a whole. This sounds a lot like trying to mold your query into a search engine or website database. However, with the Semantic Web well on its way, eloquence as we know it may soon be a thing of the past. Reading on keep, please. Discuss (1)
The era of ultimate digitization is upon us and it redefines our lives. Almost every day there are new inventions and innovations in the fields of IT, computing, and electronics.
