Sochi Russia
Sochi Russia – The 8 minute segment of the 2010 Olympic Closing Ceremony that introduced the host city, Sochi, Russia included an amazing contraption called a Zorb.
These balls, with humans in the center were wheelde around the stadium and as the light struck the ball it made it look like a giant hamster ball. Amazingly beautiful and intriguing at the same time.
There are probably more Zorb moments to come when the world goes to Sochi Russia to experience the 2014 Olympics.

Playstation Network Error Codes
It’s unclear exactly what’s going on at the moment, but it appears that the PlayStation Network is down and causing a whole host of related problems for PS3 systems, including 8001050F error codes, game crashes, corrupted trophy info, and even the complete inability to launch certain titles. There’s no ETA on when things will get back to normal — looks like it’s gonna be a Blu-ray kind of evening for PS3 owners out there.
