Every few months, another prediction comes out that IPv4 is doomed and that we are going to run out of addresses. Those dire predictions never come true, and the predicted date keeps getting extended. When are we truly going to run out? Nobody knows. What will happen is that IPv6 won't become a priority until things start breaking. That's just how it goes.
In future news, Apple announces the release of their new, sleek iCar! With touch-screen capabilities, smooth acceleration, and lots of eye candy. Better Place, however has been stymied by the fact that the iCar's batter is sealed and hidden inside of the frame of the car, and cannot be swapped out. Millions of iCar fans can only hope to travel 250 miles and struggle to find their lost iCar charging adapters, while Microsoft and PC-maker made Windows-Roadsters take advantage of the Better Place swapping program.
gCar and kCar enthusists, while having the first electric cars out there can be seen at the side of the road, can be seen hand-wiring in their own D-cell battery replacements every 100 feet, soldering gun in hand.

She's concerned that a child might have put the phone in their mouth? It's huge! I'd be more concerned about smaller stuff that might get lodged in their throat, than them sucking on a giant cellphone.
This will only result in hurting the disabled who rely on text-to-speech to enable them to read books and print publications.
Nobody in their right mind would want to listen to text-to-speech generated audio versus human-read books. I tried listening to a PDF once while in the car, and I couldn't stand it. I would have gladly paid for an audio-book of the same material. This would not have impacted their "business" as much as they thought.
What will happen now is that publishers will make their material inaccessible to the disabled because not every book is available in audio-book format.
Just shows you how far business goes to further greed instead of producing quality products, and being a part of a profession. Thumbs down to those in the author's guild. Very unprofessional IMHO.
