Net Addresses, Sony and more Sony

Ok folks, fasten your seatbelts because the IPV4 naming scheme for the internet is entering its final months.

In the next few days an internet agency is set to ask for some more addresses for the internet. Once this event happens the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) will be left with five sets of /8 in its pool. IANA will then be assigning each of the international registries one set of /8.
These are set to be totally exhausted by September 2011.

Info:
A "/8" is the biggest block of net addresses that IANA hands out and comprises about 16 million addresses.

Now for Sony!!!

Sony have been in the news twice this week with the Unveiling of the new NGP (Next Generation Portable) games console.

With Specs like:
  • 5 Inch OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) Display
  • Wifi
  • 3G Connection
  • Touch screen
People are bound to be enticed by the lasted offerings.

Sony have also managed to win a ruling which stops the publication of a Master Key which originally prevented the user from playing homebrew games on the powerful console.
An update has also been administered to consoles to prevent users from playing homebrews however work is said to be going on to circumvent this.

Thats all for now folks
