World Largest Clock at Mecca, Saudi Arabia
Mecca, the Islamic holy city in Saudi Arabia is constructing the world's largest clock, started counting time yesterday from the beginning of Ramadan.

This clock is located centrally in the city, close to the Grand Mosque and is positioned on a skyscraper. This makes it six times larger than the Big Ben tower in London and can be seen 17km away in evenings. The four clock faces are 46m in diameter, and lit up by 2m LEDs, which flash green when the 5 prayer sessions should commence each day.

Not just a clock tower, the skyscraper forms a cluster of  7 towers which will contain a shopping mall, some 2,000 hotel rooms, enough space for 30,000 to pray in, and even two helipads. Wow! Isn't really a Giant Clock?

He has already tested his hack on thirty different models, of which more than half were vulnerable, including two versions of the ubiquitous Linksys WRT54G and devices running certain DD-WRT and OpenWRT Linux-based firmware. To combat the hack, the usual precautions apply for the love of Mitnick, change your default password but Heffner believes the only real fix will come by prodding manufacturers into action.

Xbox 360 has increased their sales 88% in June month. This Microsoft's product won the title of best-selling console in June because of it's sexy physical redesign. NPD numbers showed that Microsoft shifted 451,700 units in the US, which is more than the Wii's tally of 422,500 and cover-up the PS3's 304,800 numbers.
