Will the upgrade of IP addresses to IPv6 affect our computer usage? Google, Facebook and Yahoo are running out of IP addresses, which is the equivalent to a phone number for every computer. Starting this evening at 8 p.m. ET. More than 400 major websites around the world will be switching to IPv6. If all goes well there should be no problems and Google states that " if all goes as planned most people won't notice and if it doesn't work computers will run slow and default back to the old IP address of IPv4."

Elephants run wild in India two wild elephants trampled one person to death. In Bangalore, India a three hour rampage by two elephants creating panic throughout the city. The victim was a 55- year old man who was coming out of his house to hear what all the commotion was about and he was trampled by the elephants and died instantly. The two captured elephants will be released back into the wild. Officials blamed that human settlement into forest areas displaced the elephants.

The sun unleashed a solar storm on Tuesday and was demonstrated with a magnetic plasma cloud. The solar stormed peaked at 2:41 a.m. EDT and lasted for 3 hours. The solar flare may create a geomagnetic storm today with explosions of charged particles sparked by the flare. The impact is predicted this evening at 6 p.m. and last for 12-24 hours. This solar flare can affect GPS, power grids and satellites that operate global positioning systems, which can cause rerouting of flights away from the polar regions. This is being watched closely for any collision of magnetic fields of the sun and earth. It has been predicted that some material will hit the earth's surface within a day or two and create a geomagnetic storm.
