Below are 10 most dangerous cities in america according to FBI latest ratings.

Violent crimes per 100,000: 1,383.8

Population: 393,781

2012 murders: 84

Underwater photographer Sarah Lee uses a technique known as "duck diving" to capture these stunning photos of surfers in Hawaii. Surfers "duck dive" under the water to avoid incoming waves so they can get further out to sea.

How Kate Middleton and Prince William welcome their first child -- whose due date is July 11 -- the royal couple plan to first drop the big news to the world in very old fashioned style. A St. James Palace aide tells Us Weekly that, with much pomp and circumstance, a framed announcement will be placed on a wood and gold easel just behind the gates of Buckingham Palace shortly after the baby arrives. (The same wooden easel was last used for William's 1982 birth; the Prince turns 31 this Friday, June 21.)

 A supercomputer is a computer at the frontline of current processing capacity – particularly speed of calculation. The term "Super Computing" was first used in the New York World in 1929 to refer to large custom-built tabulators that IBM had made for Columbia University.

Supercomputers were introduced in the 1960s, designed initially and, for decades, primarily by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC), Cray Research and subsequent companies bearing his name or monogram. While the supercomputers of the 1970s used only a few processors, in the 1990s machines with thousands of processors began to appear and, by the end of the 20th century, massively parallel supercomputers with tens of thousands of "off-the-shelf" processors were the norm. As of June 2013, China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer is the fastest in the world: at 33.9 PetaFLOPS, it is more than 20 billion (2 x 1010) times faster than the first supercomputer (the CDC 6600). For comparison purposes, that is roughly the difference between the top speed of a common sloth vs. the speed of light in vacuum.

Below are top 10 fastest supercomputers in the world which are operating by world's superpowers.

A Chinese university has built the world's fastest supercomputer, almost doubling the speed of the U.S. machine that previously claimed the top spot and underlining China's rise as a science and technology powerhouse. The semiannual TOP500 listing of the world's fastest supercomputers released Monday says the Tianhe-2 developed by the National University of Defense Technology in central China's Changsha city is capable of sustained computing of 33.86 petaflops per second. That's the equivalent of 33,860 trillion calculations per second. Supercomputers are used for complex work such as modeling weather systems, simulating nuclear explosions and designing jetliners.

Worst Photoshopped Movie Posters Ever

"The Heat"
This week the film world erupted in scorn over what was one of the most brazen Photoshop jobs ever seen. The poster for the upcoming action comedy "The Heat" featured an image of actress Melissa McCarthy that was so heavily touched up, she was almost unrecognizable.

Celebrities are a species of their own, whether they are dead or alive. People are always obsess over their lifestyle, their voice (activism), their skill and even their power.

The life, soul, and legacy of celebrities live on even after their passing. There are many famous people that have left this world too abruptly, accidentally and unnaturally. How they’ve broken into super stardom and how they’ve demised is a topic that is always at hand.
As the old saying goes, “Only the good die young.”
Below is a list of fairly recent Top 10 most shocking celebrity deaths.
