- On Tuesday, the Olympic clock was unveiled in Trafalgar Square in a spectacular ceremony, starting the countdown at 500 days until the opening ceremony. However, less than 24 hours later, the clock stopped, leaving embarrassed technicians at Swiss watchmaker Omega scrambling to fix it.
- Tickets went on sale Tuesday for the 2012 Olympic events, and Visa is the exclusive credit card of the 2012 Olympics. However, a glitch in the system prevented people whose debit or credit cards expire before August of this year from completing the purchase of their tickets. Visa claims that the problem has now been fixed.
Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. Fortunately London still has over a year to prepare.
