L'Italia si piazza quinta in pedopornografia, ma recrimina per alcuni errori arbitrali. I pirati somali alzano il tiro: sequestrata la penisola del Sinai. Ma Israele rivendica la paternità dell'idea.

Everything is better in Japan. McDonalds recently launched two Japanese concept restaurants in Shibuya and Omotesando called Quarter Pounder. As expected, or not expected, the place is totally amazingly on-point. The super simple menu is limted to a Quarter Pounder, Double Quarter Pounder, fries and drinks. That’s it. Curious why they would open a restaurant that only sells Quarter Pounders? According to Business Week, it all comes down to the grill. “McDonald’s has sold its ...

You charge your phone in for an hour or two each and every day to top up but that's probably it. Most phone chargers draw power when not in use, and that some chargers draw considerably more power than others. Around two thirds of energy consumed by owning a mobile phone ...

"On the 25th of September 2008 Ways&Means opened the KINFOLK speakeasy for the new internationalist in gritty Nakameguro, quite possibly the trendiest district on the current Tokyo scene. On the menu is a mixture of killer cocktails like the Cuban staple Ginger Mint Mojito, a drink for any occasion. The decor is vintage Japanese interior meets modern day safehouse. Drop into the mix a kaleidoscope of Japanese Keirin Track frames adorning the wood rafters and ...

He was also offered the chance to direct, but (thankfully) declined. Not only did Schwartz create "Gossip Girl", but he also created "The O.C." and "Chuck". Fox won't reveal any more details about the spin-off, but we can be sure it'll focus on ...

You don't have to listen to the gay "leaders" who failed you anymore, you don't have to give them any more money, you just have to figure out what you want to do next with the power that now is yours -- to get what you want: Full equality. I am intensely eager to see your next steps. It is an exciting time indeed.
