After a few maintenance updates, Google is readying a more significant Chrome update that fixes a known security issue and delivers an improved V8 JavaScript interpreter.

[Video] Bizzare Restaurant Opens in Latvia

A weird restaurant has been opened in Riga, the capital of Latvia.

By the way, do you remember that odd lebanese fast-food ?
