At 44mm wide, the titanium case, DLC titanium case, or titanium case with 18k rose gold bezel models of the watch will all be pretty neat. The Odyssey S has a rotating diver’s bezel and some crazy stuff going on with the crown and pushers. Scaled back in design, the watch feels more live-with-able than other Clerc pieces. Still, it is anything but a normal watch. It comes with a rubber or alligator strap, and a whole lot of conversation starting abilities — via A Blog to Read

If there’s a middle ground between the reliability of a modern bike and the charisma of a classic motorcycle, it’s occupied by guys like Walt Siegl.

Situated in Poissy, a small commune outside of Paris, is one of the most significant contributions to modern architecture in the 20th century, Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier. Completed in 1929, Villa Savoye is a modern take on a French country house that celebrates and reacts to the new machine age. The house single handedly transformed Le Corbusier’s career as well as the principles of the International Style; becoming one of the most important architectural precedents in the history. Villa Savoye’s detachment from its physical context lends its design to be contextually integrated into the mechanistic/industrial context of the early 20th century, conceptually defining the house as a mechanized entity — via ArchDaily
A new trojan horse has cropped up that affects Mac OS X (and Windows as well), primarily disguised as a video flitting around social networking sites.

Titled Grandmother’s Chair, this classic wood seat was breaking down along one side – a hobbled leg and splintering back simply had to be fixed. One answer would have been to find matching material and make it look like it used to, but the reality would not match the illusion. Worse yet, the owner would know it.
Instead, clear resin was cast in the shape of the seat by H220430 studio – a kind of fill-in-the-blank solution that does not seek to replicate the original components. Through contrast, it becomes clear (no pun intended) what parts were salvaged and which pieces were added to save the rest. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, than memory lies in the emotionally-charged portions of the mind. For some, it would be better to repair the aging chair in the most seamless manner possible. For others, this hybrid creation preserves what remains in the most respectful way possible — via Dornob

Dutch police and net security organisations have teamed up to dismantle many of the command and control servers associated with the Bredolab botnet.
The Bredolab Trojan, which has spyware components that allow criminals to capture bank login details and other sensitive information from compromised machines, has infected an estimated 30 million computers worldwide since its emergence in July 2009.
Infected machines remain pox-ridden but the command system associated with the cybercrime network has been decapitated, following an operation led by hi-tech police in The Netherlands — via redwolf.newsvine.com
