Visit To Googleplex - Google Office

The Googleplex is the corporate headquarters complex of Google, Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, United States, near San Jose. Googleplex is a portmanteau of Google and complex, and a reference to googolplex.

The Googleplex is located between Charleston Road, Amphitheatre Parkway, and Shoreline Boulevard in north Mountain View, California close to the Shoreline Park wetlands. Employees living in San Francisco, the East Bay, or South Bay may take a free wifi-enabled Google shuttle to and from work.

The four core buildings, totaling 47,038 square meters (506,310 ft²), were built for and originally occupied by Silicon Graphics (SGI). The office space and corporate campus is located within a larger 26-acre (110,000 m²) site that contains Charleston Park, a 5-acre (20,000 m²) public park; improved access to Permanente Creek; and public roads that connect the corporate site to Shoreline Park and the Bay Trail.

Architecturally, the Googleplex is like a giant playground, not too far off the IKEA crèche.

Inside North Korea - The Nation Under Isolation

Earlier this year, David Guttenfelder, chief Asia photographer for the Associated Press, along with Jean H. Lee, AP bureau chief in Seoul, were granted unprecedented access to parts of North Korea as part of the AP's efforts to expand coverage of the isolated communist nation. 

The pair made visits to familiar sites accompanied by government minders, and were also allowed to travel into the countryside accompanied by North Korean journalists instead of government officials. Though much of what the AP journalists saw was certainly orchestrated, their access was still remarkable. 

Collected here are some of Guttenfelder's images from the trip that provide a glimpse of North Korea.

Real Life Cinderella Heel

The Glass slipper is a testament to Margiela's fantastical designs.  Now who wants to see if the shoe fits or rather in this case the price fits? These limited edition glass heels are available at both the Maison Martin Martin Central and Harbour City stores.It's certainly not cheap and interestingly enough they are selling the glass slippers not as a pair but per piece. Anyone up for starting a new trend with non-matching shoes? 

I don't really think the shoes really wearable. And if someone really can fit into it, I don't think the shoes can withstand the weight of human...

Real Life Mario Karts

Nintendo has taught millions of underage kids to drive, thanks to its immensely popular handheld Mario Kart video game. The driving routes are all virtual, thankfully, as they include not only unexpected sheer cliffs, but also driving under the water while evading baddies.

To bring part of Mario's make-believe world to life, Nintendo has partnered with West Coast Customs to create life-size models of Mario's Standard Kart and Luigi's Bumble V Kart. While the characters are forced to enjoy their rides in the hazardous Mushroom Kingdom, we checked them out in the (relative) safety of the Los Angeles Convention Center during today's LA Auto Show. Naturally, the West Coast Customs tie-in means that the karts' construction will be chronicled in an upcoming episode of the shop's reality television show.

The detail on the full-size working models is interesting. Mario's kart appears to be front-wheel drive, with 18-inch wheels on the rear. Noted for its Super Glider option for cliff jumping, the attachment is mounted prominently overhead. Luigi's kart, decked-out with 16-inch wheels and disc brakes, is also front-wheel drive. It is available with a propeller to provide movement under water.

Here's a few snazzy photos.

Real Life Hotel California

Everyone knows this song by The Eagles. But have you ever dreamt to visit the legendary Hotel California in reality?

The Hotel California is located in Todos Santos, a town on Mexico's Baja California peninsula. It was founded by a Chinese immigrant in 1948. Since this was the only place in town where cold beer was served it soon became popular. That's probably why The Eagles devoted their song to this place. The hotel's complete renovation in 2002 transformed the original 16 rooms into 11 suites. 

Today this place is an icon that attracts many people.
