At approximately 1:45 p.m. a 5.5 magnitude earthquake shook the grounds of the north-east U.S. and southern parts of Ontario and Québec. To be more precise though the quake’s center was around 60 kilometers North of Ottawa, Ontario. Apparently the quake was felt in Buffalo, Detroit, Montreal, N.Y., Toronto and surrounding areas. I know I felt it, living in Ottawa myself. When I say I was sitting on a crack I didn’t think of it in that sense, but now I’m going to have too!

Here’s a video from a man living in Ottawa seconds after the quake hit.

Some info Here

The farthest report I’ve seen is from Dubuque, Iowa, more than 1200 km from the estimated center of the quake. – Andy Lang (from the globe and mail chat through their article on the subject)

IGN.com is reporting that the PSP Go is real. 

  While not exactly a PSP 2, the PSP Go is more of a refined unit, with a slide screen that when moved reveals the traditional buttons. A big change is that their is no UMD slot, that’s right you wont be able to directly plug your PSP games in and play, but it features a USB-micro slot that supposedly will allow you to transfer your bought PSP games to the Go.

Stay tuned to 360blog.org for more news on the PSP Go as E3 nears.

I wonder if the world will ever come to this… Let’s hope it does though. In this video we see what would happen if handjobs (or sex) could save our future. Truly something the human race should look into.

I’ve seen a few dudes with crazy beat box skills but never before have I heard of a girl who does this. You got to admit that she’s cute too. I think she should be named The Ultimate Beat Box Chick. Check out the video!

This video shows how much time you have to waste when you attend college. Just try to figure out the time needed to set up the robots and program the rhythm. Not only that, every instrument needs to be synchronized. I specially love the guitar setup on the lower right of the screen with the sliding finger.

Well as always the internet has gotten some leaked photos and it looks well…slim

Stay tuned to 360blog.org as more game info finds its way to the internet as E3 nears.

Thanks to Neo-Gaf for these

Yes sir, this is the finest in cutting edge technology. No USB can or will every be able to do this again, absolutely unbelievable. It’s amazing to think someone actually thought of this for a memory stick… then brought some friends along.

This one sounds kinda funny for a partnership, but it’s real. General Motors (GM) and Segway have partnered up to develop a new urban transportation device providing personal mobility. This partnership is a result of 18 month collaboration to project Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (P.U.M.A) The P.U.M.A. has a lot of common ground with the Segway Personal Transporter.  

P.U.M.A. features an all-electric powertrain, plus a side-by-side two-wheel layout. Like the Segway, it uses dynamic stabilization technology to keep it upright and balanced.Where P.U.M.A. pushes ahead is in practicality, usability and safety. Unlike other personal mobility devices such as Toyota’s i-Unit or i-Real, P.U.M.A. accommodates two passengers in a pod-like capsule that’s shielded from the elements (as pictured, this early-development prototype doesn’t have the extra bodywork). It also features seats, seatbelts and a safety cage. Thanks to a more sophisticated electric powertrain and battery pack, its top speed is 56 km/h, and it can travel up to 56 km/h between charges

There are all kinds of rumors of memorials, buildings, statues, etc, planned for what happened on september 11th 2001. They thought of rebuilding replica’s of the twin towers, just one building that served as a memorial, and many others I’m sure We’ve never heard because the projects have never seen the light of day. What we (or at least I) didn’t know is that one statue was built, and given to the United States as a “monument to the struggle against world terrorism” and “september 11th” memorial.

This statue/building was unveiled september 11 2006 and is in direct line with the statue of liberty. It is a gift from the people of Russia and president Vladimir Putin and it is called the “tear drop”. It stands over 100 feet tall and weighs 175 tons, it’s weight meant that it had to be transported separately and build on site, and so they did just that, transporting all 6 pieces or sections then installing it. The names of the victims are inscribed at the bottom just like the vietnam war memorial.

I just wonder why this hasn’t had more publicity…

The great artist behind this masterpiece is Zurab Tsereteli.
