Does that mean the Fall / Autumn of 2010 or of 2011 ?
Campaign for the Freedom of Information
Free Gary McKinnon, who lives in London, is accused of hacking in to over 90 US military computer systems, and is facing extradition to the USA under the controversial Extradition Act 2003, without any prima facie evidence or charges brought against him in a UK court. Try him here in the UK, under UK law.

Tor - the onion routing network - "Tor aims to defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called onion routers, protecting you from websites that build profiles of your interests, local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit, and even the onion routers themselves." The WikiLeakS.org project makes use of Tor as part of their anonymity infrastructure.

Fall 2011 is the target date for the English translation of 1Q84, which is supposed to be massive. A new Murakami and a new Gibson at the same time would be overload.
@ Caplewood - unless their book tour dates and locations clash, there will easily be room for both authors' new works, even if they are published at exactly the same time.
William Gibson, is, of course, a fan of Haruki Murakami's work:

The English language version of wikipedia also has an article on IQ84
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1Q84
which is much less otaku like, than your obscured /shortened link to the Google translation of the Japanese Wikipedia article.

I prefer the Japanese article because I find the Google machine translation immensely entertaining. The Japanese edition of 1Q84 is over 1,000 pages long, and English translations are usually longer. I expect the English edition will be cut, like Windup Bird was, but the book is stil likely to take a big chunk out of my Fall 2011 reading time.
Amazon lists the publication date for Zero History as September 7, 2010.
@ Caplewood - thanks for spotting the Amazon.com publication details for Zero History
I shall keep an eye out for any news of the 1Q84 translation publication date.
