Tom Cruise Spotted in Iceland After Katie Holmes Divorce Filing



Two days after his wife of five years, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce, Tom Cruise is officially on the move.
Spotted aboard a helicopter taking off from Reykjavik's airport in Iceland, the Oblivion star, 49, hid behind a pair of aviator shades as the chopper took to the skies. Cruise's final destination has not yet been confirmed.

It is the first time the actor has been seen in public since Holmes, 33, filed for divorce Thursday in New York. Filing papers with the help of a New Jersey-based attorney, Holmes is requesting sole custody of the couple's 6-year-old daughter, Suri.
His wife's filing appeared to come as a shock to Cruise, who enjoyed a cozy family dinner with Holmes and their daughter just two weeks ago.

"They both looked after Suri and she was getting the main attention at the table, but Tom and Katie would look at each other and smile," an eyewitness at Sushi Samba, in Iceland's capital city of Reykjavik, told Us Weekly after the trio dined there June 16. "They were like all the young families that come in here. It's almost impossible to think they're getting divorced because they seemed very happy that night."

Around the time of their final family outing, Cruise offered an interview to Playboy in which he gushed about his wife of five years.
"She is an extraordinary person, and if you spent five minutes with her, you'd see it. Everything she does, she does with this beautiful creativity," the Rock of Ages star told the magazine. "She's funny and charming, and when she walks into the room, I just feel better."

Leap Second Did NOT Crash The Pirate Bay


Last night thousands of websites, including Reddit, ran into trouble due to the “leap second.” According to some reports The Pirate Bay also crashed due to this unfortunate bug, but this is certainly not the case. The Pirate Bay’s downtime was caused by other technical issues that have since been resolved.

                                                               
As a result, some of the largest websites on the Internet ran into trouble. Reddit posted a message stating that the site experienced Java/Cassandra issues because of the leap second, and others reported problems with Debian Squeeze servers.
Because The Pirate Bay also suffered downtime when the leap second hit, many suggested that it might be related. The topic was actively discussed on The Pirate Bay’s forum where one of the moderators took a guess that the leap second may have been to blame.
“The crash appears to have been caused by the leap second that was issued at midnight,” Velvetfog wrote.
Several news outlets picked this comment up and posted it as fact, but it was just a guess, and one that turns out to be wrong when we look at the timing of the events.
When the Pirate Bay went down yesterday we posted a quick update in our Bits section, and this was three hours before the leap second hit. In other words, The Pirate Bay downtime started hours before that of other sites.
One of the people in charge of the actual servers also confirmed to TorrentFreak that there’s no indication of any leap second trouble at The Pirate Bay. One of the server racks hosted by the Swedish Pirate Party was moved, and this took down a crucial TPB server.
And let’s be honest, If Hollywood can’t take down The Pirate Bay, why should a measly second make an impact….
