MSU webcam

Moscow State University has a webcam that runs off the 15th or so floor and lets you see a realtime picture of things happening at Vorob'evy Gory.

It seems that they do some IP filtering and the camera is not accessible 24/7, but the beautiful view is worth trying.

P.S. This was found off Wikimapia

The name of this post might seem like a start some perpendicular tech talk, but it is actually a link to an article concerning use of 2.5" HDDs after being taken out of a laptop PC.

It containts a number of useful facts on how HDDs work at all and a good explanation of why harddrives sometimes work slower when placed vertically rather than horizontally.
