Feel the Greatness of These Great Books

People in Cardiff, United Kingdom had a chance to fell the greatness of literature while the Cardiff central Library was being remodeled. Instead of using traditional temporary front, until the new building is completed, they used giant bookshelves, creating an quite dreamlike atmosphere.

Google has Purchased the Shortest Possible Domain Name

Google has Purchased the Shortest Possible Domain Name
Google has purchased the shortest possible domain name to make it easier for Chinese users to find Google: g.cn. Interestingly, "g.com," along with most other single-letter and single-digit domain names are reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The IANA is the master arbiter of domain names and addresses on the Internet. There are a few one-letter domain names out there, though: Z.com is owned by Nissan, Q.com by Qwest, and X.com is owned by PayPal. There was a proposal floated a few years ago to auction off the one-letter domain names, but nothing has come of it.
