			<description>SA's shameful silence



 WHEN our children learn the history of post-colonial Africa, they will be confronted with a case

history: Zimbabwe.



 They will learn how the bread basket of Africa descended into chaos, with the highest inflation rate

in the world.



 They will learn that about four million Zimbabweans fled hunger and political persecution.

M&amp;G - Johannesburg, South Africa - 15 March 2008



South Africa's 2010 World Cup soccer tournament is a prime target for corruption, editors were

told in Johannesburg on Friday.



&quot;There is a real fear that South Africa, in the staging of the 2010 Soccer World Cup, could look

bad in the eyes of the world because of the dangers of corruption,&quot; said Professor Danny Titus,

chairperson of the South African branch of Transparency International.

willing to pay for it.

  

Japan General Estate said on Tuesday it is planning to dole out

thousands of dollars a month for its employees to go on the town in

Humanity is on the brink of advances that will see tiny robots implanted in people's brains to make

He said machines and humans would eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to

boost intelligence and health.

			<description>Overhaul of net addresses begins

Monday, 4 February 2008



The first big steps on the road to overhauling the net's core addressing

system have been taken.



On Monday the master address books for the net are being updated to include

records prepared in a new format known as IP version 6.



Widespread use of this format will end the shortage of addresses that sites

can be given. The net's current addressing scheme is expected to exhaust

the pool of unallocated addresses by 2011.
