A pizza made of win

Image
A heart attack waiting to happen I just thought that this fine specimen of a pizza deserved some recognition. Including double pepperoni, jalopenos, roquito sweet chilli peppers, some tandoori chicken and not to forget some ham and meatballs too, this bad boy certainly could win some pizza awards. For this I say god bless you Dominos Pizza Southampton, god bless you (and your voucher codes that make your pricing slightly more reasonable). Disclaimer: many pigs were harmed in the making of this pizza.

Comet Ison

December is always an awesome month (for obvious reasons). However the first 17 days are going to especially interesting if a tail does form from Comet Ison. If this does happen it will visible to most of the northern hemisphere, especially at night. Truly a once in a life time occurrence if you consider the chances of detecting a comet that also has an orbit that takes it through the Sun's corona. However, it is not certain that we will have the outcome we all hope for and it may explode during its passage, meaning no tail across the sky.

Sure, if I had the money I would probably have both consoles (why not) but the security issues the PlayStation Network has been having really have put me off wanting to give any sort of details away to Sony. As I blogged before and with the news that again Sony are having to investigate another security breach (see:  BBC News - Sony investigating another hack ), I am glad that Xbox Live seems to be on the whole more secure. I also found today that Nintendo are also the victims of a hack attack by the aptly named group 'Lulz Security' (see:  BBC News - Nintendo server attacked by hacking group Lulz Security ). It will be interesting to see if any/many reasonably serious crimes can be linked to data stolen from these security breach's (i.e. stolen credit details being used etc.), or whether these people carrying out these ...
