| The new invention, dubbed “Bouton” (flower bud), was demonstrated at the XV Anniversary International Exhibition of Police and Military Equipment – ‘Interpolitex’ – held in Moscow from 25 to 28 October. Bouton can trace even the most subtle fumes of ethanol in a car passing by at up to 150 km per hour. According to its manufacturer, it works in all weather conditions and requires no complex maintenance. |

| US-military working to automate warfare |
|---|
| Drones flying over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen can already move automatically from point to point, and it is unclear what surveillance or other tasks, if any, they perform while in autonomous mode. Even when directly linked to human operators, these machines are producing so much data that processors are sifting the material to suggest targets, or at least objects of interest. That trend toward greater autonomy will only increase as the U.S. military shifts from one pilot remotely flying a drone to one pilot remotely managing several drones at once. |

| Why there will never be a IPv6 transition |
|---|
 There are many nervous announcements that we are running out of IP-addresses and that we must change this year, 2011 to the new IPv6 standard. It is correct that we are running out of IP-addresses, but we will not change to IPv6 this year - on the contrary this transition will never happen. |
