Good news for PS3 owners in Asia. The PlayStation Network is finally coming back online. Sony has announced that it will restore the gaming network across the continent, after over a month of downtime. The company’s PSN services are already up and running in other parts of the world and tomorrow it will be back in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan.

Those in South Korea and Hong Kong still have to wait. Hopefully they get everyone gaming online again soon.

The Dell Streak has already streaked across Europe and the US. Now it’s Asias turn. The 5″ Android-powered tablet/smartphone will likely arrive in Asia in early 2011, we just aren’t sure which parts of Asia.

The only way for those living in Asia to get one right now is to purchase a cheap locked model from the States, or pay more for an unlocked European model, neither including shipping costs.

Asia’s largest race car made from breadWe all know that if you want to get into the racing game, it takes a lot of cash. Scratch. Benjamins. Dough. Bread. Oh yes, it takes a lot of bread. Actual bread made by bakers in this case. A bunch of crazy chefs got together and created a Formula One racing car with 22 different types of bread.

The Culinary Executive Chef from the Royal Plaza On Scotts in Singapore led a team of six chefs, two artists, two technicians, two culinary staff members and five volunteers to create this bread-winner. They call ‘Asia’s Largest Race Car Made From Bread’. It took 33 pounds of yeast alone, 14 liters of water, 4.4 pounds of salt and around three gallons of varnish.
