Europe will run out of web addresses in just six months time, Vint Cerf, the Vice President of Google, has warned. Current IPv4 addresses, which consist of four sets of numbers, are soon to run dry of their 4.3 billion possible permutations. The UK has to upgrade to the next-gen protocol, IPv6, before the last set of addresses is exhausted. According to the Guardian, Cerf warned: “If nobody does anything then the Internet will simply stop expanding. You need to be able to talk to everyone in the world [who] is on the internet. If Europe doesn’t implement IPv6, it wont be able to talk to the rest of the world that does implement IPv6 – that’s stupid, and we don’t want people here to be stupid.”
The Palm Pre 2 has finally been dated for its UK launch. While rumour had it that the handset would be out before this weekend, it will actually be released tomorrow. The smartphone will run to £399 sim-free. The successor to the Pre will use the same build, with a 3.1 inch display and slide-out Qwerty keyboard. However, it has been upgraded on several fronts, with a 1GHz processor, 16GB of memory, and a 5 megapixel camera. Oh, and WebOS 2.0, a fresh OS which supports true multi-tasking and Flash 10.1.
