News: ICANN approve dot-XXX top-level domain; long process awaits
Not soon by any means, site endings in .xxx are on the horizon. The biggest question is: is it possible to enforce that all pornographic sites by hosted by the new .xxx domain?

Sports: Longest tennis match EVER suspend for light at Wimbledon
The fifth set ALONE is longer than the previous longest MATCH. Isner and Mahut are at 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 59-59 as it is suspended due to light. This is just nuts. And the fourth set went to a tiebreaker! Cripes.
Op-Ed: Is the world ready for the waterless urinal
Studies show it's cleaner than a traditional toilet (constantly wet breads germs, and flushing spews them into the air!). The water savings offset the cost of the odor-blocking catridges (read for more info there) for the Army. So, the Army Corps of Engineers have mandated that ONLY these waterless urinals be installed as of then end of 2010. Cool.
