The 4GB Rane Serato USB timepiece was cool for novelty sake. At the end of the day it was rather impractical. But a Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife with multiple blades, lifetime LED, a laser pointer and a secure 32GB Solid State Memory modul is pure murder. We’re not even going elaborate on what you already know about the Swiss Army Brand. We’re just here to plant seeds. Alternatively you can download the Official Promo Leaflet, and follow that up by a stroll through the insanely huge Swiss Army Online Store.

ATL vs HDR
No, you’re not looking at alien architecture from another planet. This is a reader submitted photoset of Atlanta’s King Memorial Transit Station shot in High Dynamic Range. HDR is a technique in which you combine multiple frames of the same exact image, each of which has dramatically different exposure and color settings. We could spend the next 5 hours crafting a post that details the process but decided to just steer you in the direction of our new friends at stuckincustoms.com. Let us know how it works out for you. Enjoy.

More imagery of the Banhof high-security computer storage facility in Stockholm. Once again this is what it looks like in the belly of the current Wikileaks safehouse. The elevated conference room is pure fire. Mind you, this is Sweden so you know the designer furniture is of the highest caliber. Natural waterfalls and vegetation through out the whole facility. The backup generators for the servers are powered by old German U-boats that serve as backup generators.
Pionen – White mountain was designed by Albert France-Lanord Architects in a former 1200 square meter anti-atomic shelter. Major inspiration came straight from the science fiction film genre. As well, make no mistake about it, there is plenty of James Bond 007 overdosage. But that’s not a bad thing. Google and Facebook need to hop of the grid and step their “interior fashion” game up. Word.

First off, if you don’t know what WikiLeaks is, you might want to consider a quick Google search. To make the whole scenario even more intriguing, here is a brief look into the current Wikileaks server location in Stockholm, Sweden. After Amazon gave current “Mad Villian” title holder Julian Assange the boot, he connected with Bahnhof, Swedish Internet service provider. All good because the new bodyguards put them up in a former nuclear bunker excavated in rock 98 feet below slabs of frozen rock.
