Oh hey look, a 12 year-old just grasped the main concepts of The Hunger Games more accurately than most media networks.
I don’t even think my 14 year old sister understood that.

MEET XBOX ONE
Microsoft has unveiled the future of their next generation of in home entertainment. The Xbox One will deliver a new all-in-one entertainment experience for gamers.
You’ll be able to switch between live tv, games, movies, music and more without having to switch inputs with a remote. You can instantly switch back and forth through your options using a new “Snap” mode that’s uses both gestures and voice commands anchored by a new Kinect sensor.
You can multitask with multiple apps at the same time like playing a game or watching a movie and surf the internet or take a Skype call with friends. It’s impressive technology they are presenting here but I personally have to wait to try it out myself.
I really like how a lot of sensible implementations have been made like the live tv switching and powering on the system by voice commands. Stay tuned for more details on the specs for the Xbox One as we get more information. Xbox One is slated to release later this year!

PARKROYAL on Pickering by WOHA.
“Singapore-based WOHA Architects have long been advocates of the ultimate ‘green city’ – one that would be comprised of more vegetation than if it were left as wilderness – and the PARKROYAL on Pickering was designed as a hotel-as-garden that actually doubled the green-growing potential of its site. The architecture is fundamentally organic, but the fluid geometry has a loftier sense of purpose. The ascending vistas, the scenes above the external and internal spaces of the ground floor (and the fifth floor public area), whilst not spiritually preordained – the geometry is topographic, not cosmic – draw unambiguously from the heavenly gaze to be had within a mosque, a temple, or a church. It might be observed that the business hotel plays a similar role in contemporary culture to that of the cathedral in 17th century Europe, so it may not be impudent to describe WOHA’s exuberant tableaux as Baroque: just a touch of Borromini for the 21st century.”
