It has long been forecast that the number of IP addresses available in the current Internet Protocol format (IPv4) is insufficient to cope with the spectacular growth of the internet and consequent number of devices that need their own IP address. This has come into sharp relief this year, with the last remaining blocks of IPv4 addresses being allocated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). These addresses pass down to the Regional Internet Registries (the one that applies to the UK is RIPE NCC), which then allocate them to ISPs and other companies that need them. The internet won't stop working on the day that the last IPv4 address is allocated, but a solution is required to allow the internet to continue to expand. That solution is IPv6. IPv6 provides a mind-boggling number of addresses (3.4 x 1038). It's hard to find a meaningful analogy for a number this large, but if every man, woman and child on Earth had a billion devices each with an IPv6 address, you haven't even come close to scratching the surface of the number of addresses available. Unfortunately, IPv6 is not backwards compatible with IPv4, so there's a lot of work required ... Powerful business lobbyist says ministers failing on 12 of 13 environmental indicators after series of policy U-turns The UK government is failing on almost every environmental indicator, the Confederation of British Industry warned on Wednesday, as ministers have damaged business confidence and provided scant detail on their plans. The CBI tracks government aims on the environment and climate change through an online tracker, by which it judges the success of announced measures against the progress that needs to be made to hit the UK's targets. But in the latest climate change tracker, ministers are shown to have failed on 12 out of 13 key indicators. Improving energy efficiency in buildings has been too slow, while greenhouse gas emissions from transport and industry are likely to remain high as new policies are not taking effect, the CBI said. Katja Hall, chief policy director at the CBI, said: "One year on from pledging to be the 'greenest government ever', the coalition has still not delivered the policy landscape needed to ensure we meet tough emissions targets. Decisions being taken now will make or break the UK's low-carbon economy. Our latest tracker shows that progress is failing to match the ... Steve Jobs just changed the game.

E3 happens, as it has done for many years, to a scripted schedule. Those in Los Angeles trundle across town from conference to conference, while those abroad play a game almost as tedious as LA traffic, hopping around different streaming sites to see which ones will let them watch the events without pausing for buffering every ten seconds. Then we declare a winner, and losers - and begin days or weeks of mud-slinging over the merits of our chosen champions, as much defined by tribalism as by the quality of anything on show in many cases. Yet that tribalism, as annoying as it can get, also gives us an interesting yardstick to use to judge the platform holders' E3 conferences. If each company has a clan hanging off their words and waiting to rush out to wage online flamewar in the wake of their pronouncements, we can start looking at E3 like a political campaign. Who satisfied their supporters, managing to get out the core vote? Who, on the other hand, alienated their base? Did anyone cross over party lines and appeal to traditional supporters of another party? Did it work? Read more...

The feature, which the giant social network automatically enabled for its more than 500 million users, has been expanded from the US to "most countries", Facebook said on its official blog on Tuesday. Marc Rotenberg, president of the non-profit privacy advocacy group Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the system raised questions about which personally identifiable information, such as email addresses, would become associated with the photos in Facebook's database. And he criticised Facebook's decision to automatically enable the facial- recognition technology for Facebook users. "I'm not sure that's the setting that people would want to choose. A better option would be to let people opt-in," he said. Internet security consultancy Sophos noted on Tuesday that many Facebook users had seen the facial recognition option turned on without any notice in the last few days. "Yet again, it feels like Facebook is eroding the online privacy of its users by stealth," commented Graham Cluley, a senior technology ...
