Chloe Holmes lost several fingers after a nasty bout of chicken pox in her infancy. We're not sure which hand was affected (apparently both, but judging by the pic it's the left that's in worse shape). Until the age of 15, she had to make do with dull prosthetic replacements.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim DLC Timed Xbox 360 Exclusive
PS3 owners can at least be thankful that the whole game isn't a timed 360 exclusive for more than a year, like the last Elder Scrolls game.

IBM Hard At Work On Building 120 Petabyte Data Drive
For a proper sense of proportion, the resulting storage space is enough to fit two dozen billion mp3 files. It's ample proof that IBM isn't done in yet.
