Submission + - Next G8 President wants to 'Regulate the Internet' (theregister.co.uk)

antispam_ben writes: "The President of Italy, which will have the Presidency of the G8 starting January 1, says he wants to use the future position of Italy to 'Regulate the Internet.'. Italy's President Berlusconi appears to be a cantankerous character, prompting riots when Italy last had the G8 presidency in 2001. This will no doubt be a serious effort, but knowing the fundamental design of the Internet involves routing around damage, the efforts could be more amusing than threatening."

Submission + - DARPA Challenge Prize Money Restored

antispam_ben writes: "This article from The Register reports that "After foraging through thousands of couches in Washington, the government has come up with $3.5m in prize money for the contestants in an upcoming robotic vehicle race." Okay, that's not exactly how it happened, but it's good to see continued interest in this type of incentive to develop technology."
