Just when you thought Earthquakes couldn't get more contempt, a 6.8 magnitude earth rumbler hit Alaska on the morning of September 2nd. Although reported as a 7.2 scaled shake at first, the USGS re-evaluated to a 6.8, and issued a potential tsunami warning just to be on the safe side. But it turned out to be a small of a wave on the coast of the community of Atka. Because the earthquake was quite far away from the shore, minimal damage was caused by it and the residents of AK could sleep peacefully the rest of the morning.
They may be Anonymous, but they're definitely not unknown. In a bid to react against the recent activities of the hacking groups Anonymous and [censored], suspected hacktivists have been arrested in separate parts of the UK. According to a news report; Amazon, PayPal, the CIA, US Senate and the UK's Serious Organized Crime Agency have all suffered either intrusions or denial of service attacks, designed to take their websites offline.
Apparently, these arrests are the efforts of a mass roundup involving UK law enforcement and the FBI. So its safe to assume the US is also in cahoots here.
For more details regarding this, you can check out the article here.
This Friday was probably one of the most exciting events in FPS gaming history with the grand opening of the COD XP convention, which was a convergence of fans around tie world both new and old to the Call Of Duty franchise. The event was held in Las Vegas, USA on Sept. 2 and continued on Saturday as well. The main reason why many of the gaming legends like Hutch and Sark were out there was for the Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer preview and the $1,000,000 COD Tournament. The event was concluded with USA's Team Optic taking home the grand prize. For more details on what truly went down in "Nuketown", check out the official Call Of Duty site here.
