Advertisers are slowly discovering the potential of Google Maps , Google’s online sattelite pictures site. Apparently some companies are hiring painters to paint their logos or advertising messages on their roofs.The idea is that when the Google satellite passes overhead, users will be able to see company logos stand out in a sea of otherwise bare roofs.
So why not take the next step and start leasing your own rooftop?

Leyan Lo, a 20-year-old Caltech (California Institute of Technology) student set a new world record last Saturday for solving the popular Rubik’s Cube puzzle, turning it from scrambled to solved in just 11.13 seconds!
The Caltech’s Rubik’s Cube Club hosted the competition at the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco. Although Leyan had the fastest time he wasn’t the overall winner, which is determined by averaging three of five solution times in the final round. Shotaro “Macky” Makisumi, a 15-year-old high school sophomore from Pasadena won first place with an average time of 14.91 seconds.
And I didn’t even solved it once in my life…
