Daniel Marshall Architects’ work of art-The Korora House

The Korora House designed by Daniel Marshall Architects is an award winning home on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Having won the Home of the Year Finalist award in 2010, this stunning house is a piece of heaven for those of you who love being close to nature.

The house was designed keeping in mind the landscape and weather on the island. Therefore the architects had a challenging project and succeeded in building a wonderful home. The house is placed between two courtyards and is set within the contour of the ridge in order to minimize the impact of the landscape. Some of the materials used were cedar and plywood for a better reflection of precarious weekenders of the island’s past.

The space has large floor to ceiling windows that bathe the house in natural light and it also presents wonderful furnishings. The pieces throughout the house are mainly contemporary but with some traditional ones, that give it flavor.
With features like a swimming pool, beautiful fireplace and astounding views the Korora House is a true work of art.

Database Containing 2.2 Million PSN Credit Cards Up For Sale?

The PSN hacking saga just took a turn for the worse, with news that a database containing around 2.2 million sets of credit card details are currently up for sale to the highest bidder.

Report from PSX-Scene suggest that the unknown hackers even offered to sell the details back to Sony themselves with little luck before offering them up on underground credit card trading forums.

The really disturbing part of this is the news that these details actually include the CCV security code that until now was believed to be safe. With that code married to the card owner’s name as well as the rest of the card details then the card could be used without a hiccup – news that will no doubt send a shudder down many spines at Sony HQ as well as the70 million plus PSN members who’s data could have been compromised.

This story is still developing but we will, of course, bring you more as we get it.

Remember folks, if you’re credit card was registered with PSN please do keep an eye on it using online banking, telephone banking or whichever method you usually use. Vigilance is key.

Wow!

Movado Bold Watches Hands-On

I showed you the Movado BOLD a little while ago, here are a few more hands-on shots of this new trendsetter!

There are literally dozens of Movado Bold watches to choose from. The point of the collection is to modernize and hip-ify (just made that word up) the classic and iconic Movado Museum Face watch. Bold watches share a few things in common. First is color - as most of them are colorful. Second is design and material. Bold watches are designed to be less expensive Movado timepieces and so the case is made of a high-quality plastic (some also seem to be in aluminum). Movado calls it polymer or  high-tech composite.

Movado's major claim to fame was the adoption of the Museum Dial (in the 1970s when they bought the rights from Horwitt) watch and making it really popular. The artistic minimalist design is indeed very attractive, but a good example of form over function. Movado continues to play with the Museum Dial design, but since it became super mainstream in the 1990s through today, it is more a continuation of an existing good design than something fresh. So here comes the Bold, a watch that freshens up the often predictable look of the most of the Movado watches we are familiar with. There is an image of one in the article for comparison purposes.

Even though the classic Museum Dial watches aren't my style, I would happily wear a Bold. I really love many of the designs and the (yes, I will say it) bold color schemes. There are two sizes for the Bold available at this time. They are 42mm wide and 36mm wide. The pieces wear large due to the expansive dial. I like how Movado was able to retain the stark look of the pieces while adding textures and other visual interest. There is even a chronograph version in the 42mm wide size.

Get yours here!

Realistic Paintings of Hair and Braid Patterns

Korean-born artist So Yoon Lym creates these realistic paintings of hair and braid patterns. With their uniform angle and monochromatic approach, they’re really quite stylish and give time to this hair craft, which too often only garners a quick glimpse from a distance.

The detail in this art is AMAZING!

LMFAO!

Eva Mendes Says “Marriage Is Boring and Unnecessary” LOL

If you want to get with Eva Mendes, then you don’t necessarily have to put a ring on it. The oh-so-sexy actress from movies like Hitch and The Other Guys has taken a vow of non-marriage:

“I just don’t think marriage is necessary, as necessary as society makes it. And I don’t have a negative point of view on it. I just think it’s a very old tradition and if you look back to what marriage symbolizes in the first place… it has nothing to do with why we get married today.

“I don’t know if I want children, but the idea of marriage sounds very boring to me. I have to be honest… I am extremely romantic but I think there is that little rebel inside me that is anti-establishment. It’s just one more fun thing I can rebel against.”

So you mean to tell us that if you want to get with Eva, you can live with her, enjoy making sweet love to her and leave whenever you want without having to pay half? Where in the world do we sign up?

Via. Bossip!

PSN Update - PlayStation Network Down: Financial Impact to Sony Minimal

By James Brightman

PlayStation Network being down for almost a week now is definitely having an impact on some developers who look to download revenues to sustain their business, but it's also affecting Sony - albeit on a much smaller scale, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter. 

It's hard to pinpoint exactly how much money PlayStation Network generates each day from game and movie downloads, as Sony doesn't typically divulge this data, but Pachter estimates that it's a fairly small chunk compared to Sony's global games business. The analyst called it a "small number," adding, "Even if they do $1 billion a year (and I don't think it's close to that), it's $3 million a day, and they only keep 30%."

For its part, when contacted for comment, Sony told us that they don't have any further PSN updates or any information to share on the potential lost revenue impact.

Digital is definitely a growing part of the business, however. Even a few years ago, PSN being down for a sustained period of time wouldn't have been as big a deal.

Sony PlayStation Network Shut Down 'Indefinitely' Following Attack

Sony's PlayStation Network, plagued by problems for days, is being shut down indefinitely, according to the Wall Street Journal.

PlayStation tweeted a link to a blog post updating users on the situation.

"I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time," wrote Patrick Seybold, Sony's senioer director of corporate communications and social media. "As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience."

The Journal offers more insight, adding, "the Japanese electronics giant said it is keeping its PlayStation Network videogame service offline indefinitely following a hacking attack it now says may have compromised user’s information"

Seybold had said in a blog post on April 21 that it could be " a full day or two" before the service was up and running again. Nearly a week later and the network is still inaccessible.

Sony shut down its network following an "external intrusion" that may have put users' personal information at risk.

"Well damn"

Hacker's Bring Down PlayStation Network, May Have Stolen Credit Cards

Sony Corp. was trying to determine Monday whether users' credit card numbers or other personal information had been compromised as the outage of its global PlayStation Network entered a sixth day, PC World reported.

The company confirmed that an "external intrusion" by hackers disrupted the service, affecting more than 75 million users worldwide who use it to play video games against friends online, stream movies and shop online.

Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka said the company was conducting a "thorough investigation" into the outage, which began April 20.

He said Sony did not yet know if users' credit card information or other personal information had been compromised in the attack, but the company would immediately inform users if it had.

A posting on the official PlayStation blog Monday by Patrick Seybold, Sony senior director of corporate communications and social media, gave no indication when PlayStation Network service might return.

"Unfortunately, I don't have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time," Seybold wrote. "We'll keep you updated with information as it becomes available."

Seybold said late Saturday that Sony was completely rebuilding its systems to strengthen its network infrastructure.

Players can still play games offline, but are unable to challenge others over the internet, one of the console's key features.

Hacker group Anonymous was originally suspected of causing the disruption as it had previously vowed retribution against the Japanese electronics giant after it took legal action two hackers.

However, in a message on its website Friday, titled "For Once We Didn't Do It," the group denied responsibility, saying that while it was possible that individual hackers had targeted the network, Sony was not an official target.
