Free hard disc from Google ~
Two
days ago on the 24th, Google officially launched 'Drive', a hard disc
online for all it's users, 5GB gratis storage for safekeeping
documents, files, videos and photos. (If you need more than 5GB, you
need to pay). Opening an account on Drive is simple:

The shortest man in the world ~
The
72 year old dyer (person who dyes cloth, leather, etc.) from Nepal,
Chandra Buhadur Dangi, has just entered the Guinness Book of Records as
the shortest man in the world, who measures only 54 centimetres high
(27 inches), and weighs 12 kilos (26.4 pounds).The previous record kept
till now was the shortest man in the Philippines, Junrey Balawing,
59.9 cm in height.
All
his life he had been stared, jeered and laughed at as 'a bad joke of
nature' said the old man, now happy that with the official record, he
hoped to be able to travel out of his birth place, see a bit of the
world, and meet more people.
Video games in a museum ~
'The
future Museum of Comic & Illustrations of Catalunya in Badalona,
Barcelona is not meant to be for aficionados of comic books or
illustrated strips, but a centre of talents and creations with
enterprising plans', so assured Carles Santamaria, after announcing
that the project has been re planned to include the video and
animation industry.
The
first phase of the building work has been completed, but lamentably,
the work has been temporarily stopped and the forecasted completion for
2014 does not seem possible, due to the recent cutbacks on the already
very tight budget, estimated to be of 10 million €.
The
money problem is no news, everybody in every field has some these
days; but a museum exclusively for video games and animated comic
strips and cartoons is.
