Malaysia 'smooth criminals' walk off with diamonds

In Malaysia, a group of people; 3 men and one woman stole a bag of diamonds worth 3.0 million ringgit ($1.0 million)

This incident occurred during an annual week-long exhibition at the mall, where the jewelers were taking part and had many pieces of gems worth over 800,000 ringgit each.

The robbery was planned and done so smoothly that the staff realized about the missing bag once they had left.

Police is investigating the case

Akshay Kumar Copies Salman Khan!!!

Everyone in Bollywood wants to copy SALMAN KHAN !!!

Akshay Kumar in the long list as well. He is teaming up with Salman Khan’s Favorite Director Prabhu Deva and Actress Sonakshi Sinha for his next movie.. It is going to be an action packed film produced by Sanjay Leela Bansali.

Not only Akshay Kumar, even Ajay Devgan is trying out Salman Khan’s success Mantra. He is working on a Hindi remake of a South superhit, Singham.

Honestly!! I doubt if Salman’s success mantra shall work for these actors the same way.. IT IS SALMAN KHAN’S UNIQUENESS AND MAGIC THAT WORKS FOR SUCH MOVIES…

Let us WAIT and Watch !!!

Sony to resume some PlayStation services

Sony Corporation had suffered a gigantic infringement in its video game online network. Due to this, they had to shutdown PlayStation Network which prevented owners of Sony's video game console from buying and downloading games, as well as playing with rivals over the Internet.

Today, 1st May, Sony has announced that it will resume some services on its PlayStation Network this week and gamers will receive compensation for not being able to log on.

"I am deeply sorry for worrying, and inconveniencing, our users," said Kazuo Hirai, Sony's executive deputy president, bowing deeply.

The important lesson here is that there is no such thing as secure network data.
Things like this are the reason we should ALWAYS be allowed to decline to submit personal data for an account. All you need is an email address and a password. We shouldn't be REQUIRED to provide our full name, phone number, address, mother's maiden name, or any other unnecessary information.
