Let us imagine an easy to install, easy to operate application which provides constant unobtrusive and easy to understand feedback to the user; about the state of the network and the state of their PC. A tool that not only provides empirical data gathered from around the world but also instant access to feedback, comments and notes from experts and friends alike. A tool that gives the user reliable advice before installing software or clicking a link. A tool that empowers users by allowing them to better understand the state of their connection and of their PC. A tool (or suite of tools) which at the same time provides open, anonymous and invaluable data to Internet researchers across the globe.

Internet pioneer Dr. Vint Cerf expressed his optimism for the Internet’s future at the official opening of the Internet Society’s new Geneva office. More than just optimism though, I was left with a feeling that he was perhaps issuing a subtle call to arms for the Internet pioneers of today.

While there may be over an octillion times more individual IPv6 addresses than there are IPv4 addresses; in terms of actually usability, IPv6 is somewhere in the range of 16 million to 17 billion times larger than IPv4. Much larger, yes; infinite, no.

The T-Mobile G1 was announced today at a 10:30am (eastern) press conference. Current T-Mobile customers can pre-order one now for delivery before October 22nd. Arik Hesseldahl did a nice first look that I found on Business Week: Looks like it may be able to give apple a run for their mobile device money.

According to an article on thenewspaper.com, tracking similar to what we saw in Enemy of the State could very soon be more real than you might want. Definitely more than I want. From the article: Private companies in the US are hoping to use red light cameras and speed cameras as the basis for a [...]
