What part of this is confusing you?

The next paragraph FTFA:

The new domains will also change how ICANN works, as it will have a role in policing how gTLDs are operated, bought and sold. Until now, it has overseen names and performed some other tasks but has been little involved in the Internet's thornier issues.

So to take your example, '.llc', the owner of .llc will probably reserve and offer chase.llc to Chase. (and probably for more than $10)

From The Artice:

"The stones are already cut and manufactured -- it's a step above a mine," he added. "I'm finding them already cut and polished. "You just have to get down on your knees and get it," he said. "It's the same principal as collecting cans on the street and redeeming them for nickels. It's redemption of reusable gold. This is the gold that has been on this street for 60 years. I know how to look, and I know where to look for it."

The reason the article makes no mention of chemicals is because he doesn't use any.

So explain to me why anyone would intentionally get into this business?

Come to the UK and you will see that most of the major supermarkets offer this service.

A company called Ocado have been doing this since 2002 and dont have any physical stores, everything is picked from a central warehouse.

Tesco's largest stores will have around 4 or 5 vans that will deliver your order meaning your order wont come from a central warehouse but from a store that is closest to you. They even have a iPhone app that lets you scan the barcodes of the products you use to add to your basket.

Who is your target audience?

Everyone who shops for groceries who might want them delivered.

A Look Under Western Digital's Hood 131

Tom's Hardware got a rare opportunity to explore the Western Digital campus and show us what goes on under the hood of one of the favorites in storage tech. "When you buy a car, you look under the hood. Given the critical importance of hard disk storage in all of our lives, we thought you might want a peek under that hood, too. Now that Western Digital is in the business of breaking new capacity records (the latest Caviar Green was the first drive to hit 2TB, for example), we jumped at the chance to take a first-ever, unrestricted tour of its California R&D facilities. This is the place where magnetic technology of the 1950s meets the nano- and quantum-level technologies of the current decade."

Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad 315

GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."
