The News Zoo

Oy Veh!

Wouldn’t you know it, Apple are having MORE trouble with their latest model of iPhone, the iPhone4. Seemingly, some customers are having trouble with the antenna on the latest model.

Which could give the company trouble, but hopefully is something that can be fixed, fairly soon.

Apple, after all, do have a reputation to maintain.

Oh, there’s another piece of technical news, that’s caught my attention, as well.

Icann — the regulatory body who oversee the net — have announced that they’ll be creating and overseeing a new domain name — the .com/.net/.mac/.org/.co.uk parts of the end of a web address — called ‘.xxx’.

I can’t help but think that’s a good thing.

After all, I, like a LOT of other single guys — straight, gay, bi, and all points in-between — like looking at pictures of naked women. (Or men, in the case of my gay, bi, and whatever friends)

So it’s nice to know there’s a specific something to look for, out there.

It’ll probably also be handy for those of us with families: those of my friends that do have kids will probably appreciate being able to set up their machines to block this sort of sites, for particular account holders.

Oh, granted, there’s probably ways of getting around that, already.

That’s how’s fast these things go, after all.

But at least it’s a start!
