Internet body approves domain name big bang
“Web regulators Thursday voted to allow the creation of thousands of new domain names, from .paris to .Pepsi, in one of the biggest shake-ups in Internet history, a French web official said.
To prevent cybersquatters, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers also adopted a motion designed to “limit the abusive registration of new domain names.”

Jeff Goldblum is slated to replace Chris Noth next season on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Is this the best idea when Goldblum’s most recent TV work was also a detective drama that was canned after only a few episodes?
