Guatemala Sinkhole
Source: Here
The picture of the Guatemala sinkhole you see below is a real picture released by the Government of Guatemala.
This huge Guatemala crater according to Gizmodo “is a natural depression caused by the removal of soil by water. This process can happen slowly, but sometimes the land just cracks open. In this case, the sinkhole happened suddenly.”
The Guatemala sinkhole appeared after the zone was hit by tropical storm Agatha. Luckily according to official information there are no casualties as a result of the sudden appearance of the sinkhole, since it appeared in an intersection. I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if a house had fallen in the never-ending hole.
Sinkholes have appeared in many places, such as in Florida. Most of the time they are slight depressions, this extreme sinkhole however, appears to be very deep. Now that’s an image you shouldn’t think about if you want to be stress-free!

Wired Magazine’s iPad Edition Goes Live
Source: Wired
The irony that Wired, a magazine founded to chronicle the digital revolution, has traditionally come to you each month on the smooshed atoms of dead trees is not lost on us. Let’s just say the medium is not always the message.
Except that now it is. I’m delighted to announce that Wired’s first digital edition is now available for the iPad and soon for nearly all other tablets. We have always made our stories accessible online at Wired.com, but as successful as the site is, it is not a magazine.
The tablet is our opportunity to make the Wired we always dreamed of. It has all the visual impact of paper, enhanced by interactive elements like video and animated infographics. We can offer you a history of Mars landings that lets you explore the red planet yourself. We can take you inside Trent Reznor’s recording studio and let you listen to snippets of his work in progress. And we can show you exactly how Pixar crafted each frame of its new movie, Toy Story 3.

Google Pacman
Source: eWeek
Users spent more than 4.8 million hours of time playing Google's free Pac-Man game May 21, a time suck that could have cost companies nearly $120.5 million, according to time management tool RescueTime. The time management provider said Pac-Man ate up 4,819,352 hours of time beyond the 33.6 million daily manhours of attention that Google Search gets in a given day. The numbers should give some employers pause to wonder what their worker bees are doing in the hive.
