Giant Louis Vuitton Ship Store Built in Shanghai
A gigantic Louis Vuitton ship store has been built in the center of Shanghai for $14 million. The three-story boutique covering 1600 m² is spectacularly illuminated in the evenings, and aside from the store, there's an exhibition of the brand's history inside. Plus, there's a terrace with a café on the 'deck.' The building was designed in the shape of a liner for a reason: Shanghai is a port city. And this is a sort of tribute.

The Origin of the Term 'Bug' in Computing
Why are computer bugs called bugs and what's the connection with a moth in a notebook? The term first appeared in the 19th century—for instance, Thomas Edison often used it to describe small yet elusive and 'annoying as bugs' mechanical failures. However, it was popularized by American scientist Grace Hopper in 1947 when she discovered a moth inside a malfunctioning computer that had shorted the circuits. They ended up pasting the culprit into a journal with the note 'First actual case of bug being found,' and the extraction process was called debugging.
