Internet May Run Dry by 2011

The Internet could run out of web addresses by 2011, according to Karine Perset, the author of a report on the future of the Internet. Perset says that 85% of the web addresses that could be used are in use.
The Internet continues to grow exponentially, and with the integration of businesses with the web to market and work around the world, it will only continue. There were more than 1 billion new users in 2007!
Perset says businesses must adopt an updated IP network with almost an unlimited number of domains to help expand services and applications even further. Some companies like Google and Bechtel have upgraded, but most are lagging behind.
This guy seems to be taking advantage of the Global Warming panic (oh no we’re screwed the world is gonna end!). However, this does seem plausible, as domain prices have been skyrocketing lately. What would we do without new names?! Who cares, we got a domain…suckers!

HTC Touch Diamond
The HTC Touch Diamond has been shown and it looks great. I have an HTC Mogul which has been a great phone, and my sister had the HTC Touch. The original Touch wasn’t so great and was very limited, but the Diamond looks to be very competitive with the iPhone.
Luckily Sprint carries these phones and I might take a serious look at it when it comes out. The interface is graphically stunning and the design is very sexy, particularly the diamond shaped camera on the back. HTC is starting to ball, and if you wanna get this phone and save a lot of money, you can always get the ridiculous Sprint SERO Plan.

BlackBerry 9000 aka Bold Sneak Peek
BlackBerry 9000 pictures have been released and special members of the media have been able to get their hands ont hem. For all you BlackBerry lovers/iPhone haters, this looks like the phone for you.
This is probably the first BlackBerry that actually looks good. The interface is also completely changed from the simple, cartoonish looking interface. It does look to be very simple to navigate however. I just bought the HTC Mogul a couple months ago, otherwise I might take a look at this one.

My response to them every time?
“Fuck you learn some English.”
It is so obvious they are fake and yet Facebook has no regulation on them at all. I’m sure there are many people who are more naive than me that fall for this every day.
