Chris Brown Gets Down With Keri Hilson

Is Chris Brown romancing a new R&B diva?

He's already collaborated with Keri Hilson musically, and last night, Chris "was all over" Keri at the Axe Lounge at Liv, where Diddy was hosting a bash and where Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush were celebrating the Saints' big Super Bowl win.

A source tells E! News that the two were "grinding each other" on the dance floor, and Chris even made a special request...

"He insisted on her being in a photo with him as well," a source tells us.

The two left together, along with a group of friends.

No word from either of their reps, but Keri posted the following on her Twitter:

"LMAO paps think they slick!! Gone ask CB & I to tk a pic on carpet then asked da crew if we datin!! LHLAB so, no! I'mma let yall know now :P"

We'll let you decipher for yourself, but that sounds like a denial.

Ironically, Liv is the same place Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna hosted the Pepsi Refresh party just two nights earlier.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Sue Tabloid for Split Story

Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are suing the News Of The World newspaper after it published allegations about their relationship.


In a story published on 24 January, the paper said the couple would separate and had agreed the division of assets and custody of their children.

The couple's lawyer, Keith Schilling, called the "widely republished" allegations "false and intrusive".

He added the paper had failed to meet "reasonable demands" for an apology.

He said the pair had also asked for a retraction of the allegations, which had subsequently been "widely republished by mainstream news outlets".

Michael Jackson's Doctor Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter & More

Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was charged Monday with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly giving Jackson lethal levels of an anesthetic while treating the pop singer at his bedside for insomnia.

He later surrendered to court, where he entered a not guilty plea through his attorney. Murray, 57, has denied any wrongdoing.

The charge filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney alleges Murray “did unlawfully, and without malice, kill Michael Joseph Jackson." The county coroner says Jackson was given an overdose of the hospital-strength anesthetic propofol last June.

Although prosecutors have repeatedly declined to discuss the matter, the investigation was law enforcement's worst-kept secret. Police and DEA agents in California, Nevada and Texas searched Murray's and Jackson's homes, Murray's clinics, his storage unit and even the pharmacy where Murray may have obtained the drug.

Windows 7 stability update makes PCs unstable, users report

Microsoft says not a 'major issue,' sees no evidence Jan. 25 patch at fault

Some Windows 7 users have reported that their PCs started to freeze or randomly display the infamous "Blue screen of death" after applying a January update Microsoft billed as a stability and reliability fix.

Microsoft today said it doesn't consider the problem a "major issue," but acknowledged it's investigating.

As first noticed by Ars Technica, a short thread on Microsoft's Windows 7 support forum discusses the update, which Microsoft issued two weeks ago, on Jan. 25.

The update is designed for both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7, as well as Windows Server 2008 R2.

"I just installed this update and my system hangs/freeze[es] at the Windows bootup screen," said a user identified as "Kamonk2" on the support thread Jan. 27.

"I had the same issue on my brand new laptop," echoed "MacPCGraphics" on Jan. 29. "It worked fine until the Auto Update kicked in and installed an update. Started hanging and freezing after that."

Another user offered an even more detailed description of the update's impact.

New iPhone (4G) – taller than the older iPhones?

We still don’t know the final name of Apple’s fourth generation iPhone (expected to be released in June or July), so until something official comes up, we’ll call it iPhone 4G.


Well, the iPhone 4G might be a bit different than the older iPhone models (including the 3G and 3GS), which all look about the same.

The folks over at iResQ have posted some photos that reportedly show parts of the new iPhone. It looks like the iPhone 4G is about 1/4 inch taller than the previous iPhones (which are all 115mm tall).

Google Nexus One Launches Phone Support, Lowers ETF By $200

Since the launch of the Nexus One, early adopters have likely had one question lurking in the back of their minds: who to take the phone to if it broke. You see, when the phone was first launched, Google was directing people to either T-Mobile (Google’s carrier partner) or HTC (the device manufacturer) depending on the problem, which could lead to an endless circle of hold times and few results. Today, Google has just rolled out its solution: it’s launching its own phone support line specifically for Nexus One customers. Call 888-48-NEXUS (63987) and within a few minutes, you’ll be talking to a real live Google support tech (the line is open from 7AM to 10PM EST).

This is, of course, a fairly major departure from Google’s standard protocol of making it incredibly difficult to reach anyone for phone support for most of its products. It doesn’t come as a total surprise though — last week there were reports of a Google job listing for “Phone Support Program Manager, Android/Nexus One” to be based out of its headquarters in Mountain View, CA.

The news was first reported at TMO News, and we’ve gotten a response from a Google spokesperson explaining the company’s logic behind the support number:

Wonder Girls, “Even though ‘WonderGirls SunMi’ is important, just ‘SunMi’ is also important”

Girlgroup WonderGirls members SunYe, YooBin, YeEun and SoHee talk about their feelings on SunMi’s leaving the group.


The 4 WonderGirls members had a meeting with their WonderGirls fan union on 8th February and the fan union released the details of the meeting through their fancafe at about 11pm.

According to the representative of the fan union, SunMi’s training was shorter as compared to the other members since her debut she had missed out a much of her schooling life. And the members constantly felt SunMi’s regrets about it after they had their American debut.

They told the fans, “But our responses were the same as fans when it was revealed that SunMi will be stopping her promotions as WonderGirls for the time being. At first we panicked, and said that she will regret this, but after awhile we calmed down and gave our support for her decision.”

They said, “And we know that SunMi is not one to make such decisions lightly, she has been thinking about this for a while, and discussed it with the members and company.”

Sammi Cheng: Relationship with Andy Hui is very good

Earlier, there were reports in a magazine that Sammi Cheng was at her ex-boyfriend Andy Hui’s house visiting for 5 hours, which caused a lot of speculation that perhaps they have gotten back together. It was also noted that because of this, Andy’s current girlfriend Michelle moved out of the home that the 2 of them shared together. Recently, when Andy attended a promotional event, he was said to have “silently acknowledged” getting back together with Sammi. As for Sammi, she attended an event yesterday in ‘good spirits’ with ‘happiness written all over her face.’ When asked whether she and Andy have gotten back together, she denied the rumor; however when asked what her current relationship is with Andy, her reply was simply that she is very satisfied with the relationship the two of them have right now.

Yesterday, Sammi attended the event <<Faith, Hope, Love>> to promote the release of her concert DVD’s Super Box Set. It was noted that during the event, she was extremely happy and had a big smile on her face the entire time.

Apple iPad Prices Could Change

Well, well, well. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal today, Apple management is going to remain "nimble" in iPad pricing if sales start off slow. Hey, wait a minute—are you thinking what I'm thinking?

The scoop originates from a Credit Suisse analyst, who apparently met with Apple executives recently to discuss all things tablet. In addition to the execs pitching how the iPad wouldn't cannibalize Apple's other product lines, they outright stated that they'll adjust pricing if they have to:

"While it remains to be seen how much traction the iPad gets initially, management noted that it will remain nimble (pricing could change if the company is not attracting as many customers as anticipated)."

Microsoft: Windows 7 isn't trashing your battery

Last week I posted on how there’s was a growing believe that a flaw in Windows 7 was causing Windows 7 to permanently trash notebook batteries. Today, Microsoft’s president of Windows and Windows Live division Steven Sinofsky responds.

Sinofsky has posted an extensive response to the issue on the Engineering Windows 7 blog, but I’ll extract the highlights for you here:

  • We have seen no reproducible reports of this notification on new hardware or newly purchased PCs. While we’ve seen the reports of new PCs receiving this notification, in all cases we have established that the battery was in a degraded state.

YouGov: Microsoft outpaces Apple in customer satisfaction ?

It seems that Windows 7 gave Microsoft a much needed customer satisfaction boost.

According to research carried out by YouGov, the number of respondents giving Microsoft a positive grade for customer satisfaction jumped to 67% in the week following the launch of Windows 7 (October 22, 2009), up from 64% where it stood the day before the OS hit the shelves. By December 31, Microsoft’s satisfied customer percentage jumped to 73%, the highest rating Microsoft has had since YouGov began the survey in 2007.

Compare this to Apple. When Snow Leopard was released (August 28, 2009), the new OS boosted the number of satisfied customers by only 1%, to 65%.

Impressive gains for Microsoft, but what will be even more impressive is if the company can hold onto these gain over the coming year.

Can Sony compete against Apple's iPad with its own tablet PC?

Everyone seems to be getting into the tablet PC game, hoping to steal some mind (and wallet) share from Apple’s iPad, and that includes Sony. According to reports from PC World and the Financial Times, Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda recently stated that “Sony is very much interested in this segment of the market and we have [the] necessary technology.”


Considering that Sony completely whiffed on its chances to compete with the iPod and failed miserably with the Mylo family of mobile communication devices (remember those?), it might not be the best competitor to take on Steve Jobs’ latest creation. On the other hand, Sony’s e-book readers have been well received, and the company is a major laptop player. One strike against the Japanese electronics giant: Oneda already admits that “There is no denying that we are running a bit behind” Apple’s forthcoming launch.

Lindsay Lohan Plays a Fashionable Jesus

Lindsay Lohan is on the cover of another magazine, this time it's French fashion magazine Purple.

Since it's supposed to be more of an edgy magazine or something, Terry Richardson shot Lindsay as Jesus with her outstretched arms and a crown of thorns. So shocking! And we mean that, too. It's pretty shocking that this is the first time in a while Linds didn't even have to show her boobs for a fashion spread.

And Lindsay's Jesus dress-up fun isn't all that's going on in her cluttered life today. There's also talk that Sam Ronson allegedly abused her, Jessica Alba says Lindsay never hooked up with her husband, Cash Warren, and Linds took to her Twitter to try to convince us she doesn't use lip injections. In other words, it's just a normal day for Lindsay.


Eva Longoria Twitter Porn

Actress Eva Longoria-Parker is one of the newest celebrities to take the plunge and join the rest of us in the Twitterverse — and the Desperate Housewives stunner’s obviously still getting the hang of things.



Eva — who plays Wisteria Lane model-turned-mom Gabrielle Solis on the ABC dramedy — was left shamefaced this Super Bowl Weekend, after she accidentally encouraged fans on the social networking site to visit a porn site.

The iPad Tweet That Enraged Steve Jobs?

There was inevitably some cultural friction when Apple's secretive CEO took his new iPad around to New York's professionally indiscreet media. Exhibit A is a single tweet from a Wall Street Journal editor, which purportedly made Steve Jobs go ballistic:


The Journal's online executive editor Alan Murray quickly deleted the Feb. 4 tweet, which, it is now obvious, was issued during Apple CEO Jobs' show-and-tell with select Journal staff. A tipster told us the deletion ultimately traces back to a furious Jobs. We asked Murray for comment, and he wrote back "I would love to talk about this, but can't." In a later email, he added:

Adobe apologizes for festering Flash crash bug 16 months...and counting

An Adobe product manager has apologized for allowing a potentially serious bug in Flash Player to remain unfixed for more than 16 months.

The admission, by Emmy Huang, product manager for Flash, came a week after Apple CEO Steve Jobs lambasted Adobe engineers as "lazy" and said when Macs crash, "more often than not it’s because of Flash." Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch struck back, insisting that at Adobe, "we don't ship Flash with any known crash bugs."

The crash bug at issue in Huang's blog post published over the weekend was reported in September 2008, but it has yet to be excised from release versions of Flash. She said a beta version of Flash scheduled for official release later this year has fixed the problem.

She went on to say the flaw should have been patched in one of the interim updates released over the past 16 months.

Google to make Gmail a little more social

Google is getting ready to add social-networking features into Gmail as it attempts to jump-start its social Web strategy.

Gmail users can already set their status within the service, but Google plans to expand that into a stream of status updates found in services like Facebook and Twitter, according to sources familiar with the company's plans. Users will also be able to share photos and videos through the service, which is expected to launch shortly.

Google has doubled down on its social Web strategy in recent months, with new hires and plans to devote more energy to understanding the social-media phenomenon. The company has tried to get momentum behind its ideas for several years, but hasn't gained much traction to date.

Droid's Android 2.1 Update: Full of Multitouch (and Some Disappointment)

Android 2.1 for the Droid is making its way through the Verizon test gauntlet, and apparently inside is multitouch for the browser (like Maps 3.4), Google Goggles, and fancy news and weather widgets. Not coming over from the Nexus One?


Live backgrounds—those swishy animated wallpapers—and that new 3D grid of app icons aren't part of the package. Instead, the same static backgrounds and the classic Android pop-up app shelf stick around.

Hate to say it, but this feels like even more Android fragmentation. Is anything—even the damn OS—ever gonna be the same between two phones again? Jeez.

Samsung to announce Super AMOLED phone at MWC, maybe Bada-based?

We already know that Samsung will announce its first Bada phone at MWC 2010, and now it looks like the South Korean company has yet another surprise prepared for the show that’s set to debut next week.


SamsungHub has it that a Samsung phone with a Super AMOLED touchscreen display (possibly WVGA) will be unveiled at MWC. Reportedly, Super AMOLED displays integrate a touch sensor, have better direct sunlight visibility, and are five times more vivid than AMOLED screens currently on the market.

Yahoo Kimo recently held a poll to let fans vote on who they think is the best idol actor. Although Down with Love is behind Autumn’s Concerto in the ratings, Jerry Yan managed to come back with over 10,000 votes overnight to win over fellow F4 Van Ness Wu. Despite their votes being pretty even through out the week, Jerry Yan claimed victory in the end and was crown the best actor among idols.

2NE1 reveals new song ‘Try To Be Like Me’

With So Nyeo Shi Dae starting off the girlgroup fever with new song ‘Oh!’, girlgroup 2NE1 is the next to reveal a new song.


2NE1 revealed their new song ‘날 따라 해봐요 (Try To Me Like Me)’ on various music sites on 9th February. ‘Follow Me’ is, like most of 2NE1’s hit songs, produced by Teddy and is a hip hop song sampling on song ‘나처럼 해봐요(Do It Like Me)’.

The lyrics to the song brings the message to females to be confident and dignified, like 2NE1’s previous hit songs.

Meanwhile, with ‘Oh!’ starting off the year with girlgroup fever, much anticipation is for how this new song will turn out.

Matsuyama Kenichi Wins Best Actor "Will Take Koyuki out for a Drive to Celebrate"


Matsuyama Kenichi won the Best Actor Award at the 64th Mainichi Film Awards for this role in the film Ultra Miracle Love Story. The awards ceremony was held yesterday. Aside from winning the award, he was also given a new car. He laughed and said, "I would like to take the people most important to me out on a drive." Reporters were quick to ask if it was Koyuki he was implying. He replied seriously this time, saying "Yes. She also said that it's great for me to win the award." Both Konishi Manami and Wakamatsu Setsuro were present at the awards ceremony. Konishi accepted the award for Best Actress, while Wakamatsu picked up the award for Best Film for the movie Shizumanu Taiyo, which he directed.

"I can grace the cover of Kinema Junpo magazine alongside Matsu Takako (Best Actress Winner). This will certainly become my most prized possession," he joked.

Brad, Angelina Take Maddox to the Super Bowl!

Weeks after battling split rumors, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie put on a united front as they took son Maddox, 8, to Super Bowl XLIV Sunday in Miami Gardens, Fla.


During the game, Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 46, kissed, hugged and shared a few laughs as they sat in their VIP skybox at the Sun Life Stadium.

The trio were all smiles after their team, the New Orleans Saints, beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17. Maddox even sported quarterback Drew Brees' No. 9 Saints jersey as he exited the stadium.

Though recent split rumors proved to be untrue, Us Weekly recently reported that Jolie, 34, and Pitt, 46, have been having relationship trouble because Jolie feels she is shouldering the parental burden of their six kids. An insider told Us that Jolie often feels Pitt isn't "pulling his weight."

Are Orlando and Kristen Doing Something??!

Did British hottie Orlando Bloom cheat on his uberly-beautiful model girlfriend Miranda Kerr with Kristen Stewart — lip-biting extraordinaire and star of The Twilight Saga?!


Star Magazine spies claim Orlando and Kristen bumped pelvics after meeting at last month’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Miranda — the resident dimple-cheeked “Angel” in Victoria’s Secret’s lineup of lingerie models — was in St. Bart’s when her rumored fiance, 33, approached the 19-year-old Runaways star at the House of Hype Bar.

Jessica Alba Cosmopolitan UK March 2010: “My Husband Never Hooked Up With Lindsay!”

Jessica Alba has shot down rumors that her husband, Cash Warren, hooked up with her Machete co-star, Lindsay Lohan, in a Hollywood nightclub last fall.


“Lindsay’s had to deal with this for so long. Everyone has to live their life, and that’s what people forget when you’re in this business… she’s really nice,” Jessica told British Cosmopolitan in its March issue. “We hang out and chat for hours about girl stuff.”

The Valentine’s Day star says rumors that surfaced last November claiming Cash shared a liplock with La Lohan were nothing more than tabloid banter – – something she no longer allows to bother her.

Early Windows 7 Testers Must Soon Upgrade or Backtrack

The unprecedented number of PC users who installed Windows 7 release candidate (RC) will soon have to decide whether to upgrade to the new OS or face bi-hourly shutdowns and significant hassle re-installing their old version.

Beginning on February 15, users of machines running the RC will see an expiration message above the taskbar, followed on March 1 by the start of shutdowns every two hours. The next key date will be June 1, the point at which the entire desktop wallpaper will be replaced with the message "This copy of Windows is not genuine", a state that will nix updates of any kind and the ability to use Microsoft applications.

"To avoid any data loss, I suggest making plans to move to a released version of Windows 7 before the automatic shutdowns start. During these shutdowns, your work will not be saved," says Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc in blog reminding the world of the issue.

HTC Legend spotted just hanging out, playing it cool


Look familiar? Yep, this is precisely what we expected HTC's rumored Legend to look like based on the renders we'd seen so far. We don't have any information here other than the pictures themselves, but from what we can gather, it seems to carry over Sense as we know it today without a trace of that freshened look we've caught in recent months (not unlike its Incredible cousin). Maybe more importantly, the Legend looks like it might be kicking off a new styling direction for the company with a big, bold, chromed company logo around back and an aluminum shell that we suspect feels awesome in the hand -- particularly if it's pre-production aluminum. More on this one as we get it; in the meantime, check out a shot of the back after the break.

Qisda QCM-330 and LG GD880 break cover

The International Design Forum have unveiled some of their mobile device design competition winners, and there are a fair few handsets worthy of attention. The new devices include the new Qisda QCM-330 and the LG GD880, as well as a number of devices tipped for carrier Vodafone. The QCM-330 is probably the more interesting looking, and according to BenQ’s site will make an appearance at CeBIT in early March 2010.



It will feature a 4-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 1024, which is impressive. The device also sports HSDPA, WiFi, an accelerometer, and a 3MP camera. The OS is unconfirmed, but thought to be Android. Unfortunately it isn’t clear whether the QCM-330 will be functional at CeBIT 2010 or otherwise.

Li Bingbing on Vogue

Mainland actress Li Bingbing graced the cover of Vogue February issue, Taiwan. Li Bingbing won the Best actress title at the 46th Golden Horse Awards in Taipei 2009 for her performance in the spy thriller film 'The Message'.


In an accompanying interview with the magazine, the actress played down the excitement of winning over the prize.

"I believe in destiny. You get what you deserve and lose what's not yours. So I don't ask too much in life and won't be affected by things around me."

Wonder Girls release “Tell Me” in Chinese!


Although many kpop fans may be getting tired of the Wonder Girls‘ top hits, many international fans are getting their first whiff of the pop quintet with the recent releases of Nobody, So Hot and now Tell Me in Mandarin Chinese.

Obviously the lyrics are in a different language, but there are some notable changes: for example, Sohee’s ‘omona’ has been changed to ‘please’ and Yubin’s is completely in English.

Without further ado, here’s the song:

Dia, “I was very hurt from all the mean comments after I was said to have imitated Park Bom”

Newcomer singer Dia is more known to many as ‘teenage Park Bom’ or ‘Korea’s Beyonce’.


She debuted last year with the single ‘0carat’ and recently in January she released her 2nd single ‘0.5carat’ which was well received by music fans, and she was given the nickname of ’scary newcomer’ with her powerful vocals. But amidst that, Dia reveals that the nickname has brought her much tears and hurt. This new singer said there has been some misunderstanding about her, which had attracted mean comments from netizens.

Dia is just 18 years old this year, but through her recent interviews, she has shown a very dignified self unlike most new singers.

Simon Cowell & Friends “Everybody Hurts” Music VIDEO For Haiti Relief


Simon Cowell’s rounded up superstars from the UK and USA alike for a new charity single, which features a documentary video of the devastation caused by last month’s 7.0 earthquake in Haiti.

The acid-tongued music mogul brought together 21 of the world’s most popular singing acts, including Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart, Miley Cyrus, and Susan Boyle to re-record R.E.M’s 1992 smash “Everybody Hurts” to raise money for the impoverished island nation.

Robert Pattinson: ‘Uma Thurman’s a Monster in Bed’

ROBERT Pattinson says his sex scenes in upcoming movie Bel Ami are anything but sexy.


In the flick, the Twilight heartthrob gets hot and heavy with costar Uma Thurman – and admits the intimate scenes are a little “disturbing”.

Beyonce FALLS Onstage In Brazil (VIDEO)

While singing 'Irreplaceable' at a concert in Brazil, Beyonce took a tumble onstage. She recovered quickly, spending some time dancing around on the floor as if she'd intended to. Beyonce suffered a more dramatic onstage fall in 2007.


It's a grainy cell phone video, but skip to about :30 to see Beyonce's fall.

The Best and The Worst of the Super Bowl Ads

Let the record show that 2010 was the year of older women being viciously tackled in Super Bowl commercials. It’s about time: These old biddies have been getting away with far too much lately.

Of course until kickoff, 2010 was known as the Year of the Tim Tebow Pro-Life ad, in which the ex-Florida quarterback and his mom teamed to bring America a message funded by that conservative Christian fun bunch, Focus on the Family. The commercial was kept strictly under wraps until Sunday morning, when CBS released what turned out to be a rather timid, benign message which had Mrs. Tebow talking about her “miracle baby.”

But in the version that actually aired during the game, a strange thing happened. As Pam Tebow finished her little spiel, Tim suddenly flashed in from stage left and took her out with a rather aggressive tackle. Well, that’s gratitude for you.

Anyway, it would have been a pretty funny moment, had pretty much the same thing not occurred moments before. In the previous commercial, Betty White — 88 years old and one of the two surviving Golden Girls — is featured in a Snickers commercial, in which she is ruthlessly tackled during a game of pickup football. We then learn that it turns out to be a guy who is just playing like Betty White, until he gets a bite of Snickers.

It kind of took the steam out of the following Tebow ad “surprise,” turning a potentially humorous commercial into a “why does CBS hate older women?” moment. All in all, however, all the hand wringing over the Tebow spot turned out to be for nothing: It seemed to feel more like an FTD spot than something decrying abortion. Final verdict: $2.5 Video million not well spent.

Kim Kardashian: Reggie Waited His Entire Life to Win Super Bowl

It turned out to be one Super Sunday for Kim Kardashian and her Super Bowl-winning beau Reggie Bush, of the victorious New Orleans Saints.

"I am so proud of Reggie and the Saints!" an overjoyed Kardashian tells PEOPLE. "New Orleans deserves this – it's such a huge accomplishment!"

Kardashian made the Miami trip a family affair, bringing along mom Kris Jenner and brother Robert. The group dined with Bush and his family at Prime 112 Friday night.

The Saints' stunning 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts was the perfect ending to a long road that Kardashian witnessed firsthand. "Reggie has waited his whole life for this moment. It came and they conquered."

So how does Kardashian sum up the day? "It was a really good win!"

Google working on voice translator phone, redefining synergy

Okay, so Google has this expansive online translation service, which we all know, use, and sometimes even love. Google also has its own branded phone, with a voice recognition function that we frankly adore. So what's a brave new age company with bottomless pockets to do but try to splice the two together into some kind of omnilingual instant translator? Speech-to-speech translation -- long the exclusive plaything of fanciful sci-fi writers -- is said by Franz Och, Google's head of translation services, to be a viable possibility within a measly couple of years. The Mountain View approach to overcoming the inherent problems of variable pitch, tone and accents in speech will be to use each person's phone to accrue data on his or her linguistic idiosyncrasies, so that the more the phone's voice recognition is used, the more accurate it becomes. Sounds tres bien to us.

Stream modular computing concept Locus OS video

Industrial designer Barton Smith’s Stream modular computing concept isn’t especially new – though we’re still yet to see truly modular PCs as he envisages – but what we he hasn’t shown us until now is the Locus OS that would run on it. Designed, Barton Smith says, prior to webOS, Android and iPhone OS 3.0, Locus OS is an activity-based platform which organizes widgetized desktops around locations (such as the kitchen or office) and activities (such as travel), flicking between them based on GPS and WiFi mapping. What we like about it, though, is just how clean, slick and natural the whole thing looks.



If we had to compare, we’d say the desktop reminds us of Android while the Collections menu is reminiscent of Sony’s XROSS media UI. Having various layouts that alter by virtue of your location or tasks is something – with Scenes – that HTC have tried to do in their Sense UI, though without the automated switching.

Tang Wei Turns out a Prisoner in New Film

First portrayal of Tang Wei as a prisoner in Korean director Kim Tae-yong's 'Late Autumn' was unveiled recently.


The actress in a yellow trench coat gives the audience very cold and detached looks from her eyes.

In the play, Tang Wei is an obedient, well-behaved prisoner on her holiday who encounters Korean heartthrob Hyun Bin's role of a runaway counterfeiter.

The film about their short-lived three-day romance is an English-language remake of Korean art-house classic 'Manchu', literally "Full Autumn," by director Lee Man-hee in the 1960s.

Joey Yung promises fans to marry and have kids, but wants to wait 2 years first

Yesterday Joey Yung held an autograph session for her new album, the organizers arranged a few men for her to choose disguised as a dancing guy like MJ, a gentleman and a muscular guy. In the end, Joey chose the fake MJ, she said: "I decided that I want a Dance King, I like men that can dance because I used to dream of dating MJ often." Joey once thought about developing a love relationship with a westerner: "My appearance is a little weird, the westerner can easily accept, but Asians I don't really like. There was one guy I met while working that was quite intimate with me, but maybe I am thinking too much!"

Towards fans hoping that she can quickly get marry and have kids in the next 10 years, Joey laughed: "I'll get skin disease! Body figure won't get get back to normal after giving birth, but for Fans to give me so much support, I guess I'll just have to do it! I really like children, but I really have to find someone first. My mother is not worried about me, she already gave up on me. The responsibility of having children is left to my little brother." She expressed that she never felt desperate for marriage: "I want to wait 2 more years. Never know, I can suddenly secretly go for a lightening marriage and have kids too. At that time, I will keep it low, won't announce it until the Media discovers the news and comes to ask me about it."

Son DamBi’s comeback album set to release in March, same time period as Lee Hyori

‘Dancing queen’ Son DamBi will be making her singer comeback in March.


Son DamBi revealed back stage to 19th High1 Seoul Music Awards on 3rd February where she was awarded the BonSang, “I will comeback with a new album in March. I will be working with Brave Brothers who composed ‘Saturday Night’ for this comeback.”

Son DamBi and Brave Brothers are called the ‘perfect match’ in Kpop circle. Son DamBi’s previous hits like ‘Crazy’ and ‘Saturday Night’ are all works of Brave Brothers. Son DamBi said,”Please look forward to a new transformation and a even cooler track for my comeback.”

Uknow Yunho leads a new hallyu wave

U-know Yunho (real name Jung Yunho) is leading fans into a new Hallyu wave by encouraging them to donate across the borders.

Recently, one of U-know Yunho's Japanese fanclubs "Be With Yunho" did their own fundraising and made a trip to personally donate KRW$10,000,000 to South Korea's Social Welfare Organization. The local fans in Japan have also donated more than KRW$5,000,000 to the Haiti victims in Yunho's name.

The donations from international fans not only include Japan, but also those from China, Thailand, and all of Asia, which shows that Yunho's popularity can be felt throughout Asia.

Under Yunho's name, the fans in China donated supplies for students within Korea who come from poor backgrounds, and there were also various donation and volunteering activities that took place in Thailand. The donations and volunteering activities of the Korean fans are also such.

Christy Chung Gives Birth to 3rd Girl

At sunrise Saturday morning, with his actress wife Christy Chung ready to give birth in Beijing's United Family Hospital, musician Jon Yen, assisted in the delivery of his third daughter, Cayla Janie Yen with only a midwife and a nurse present.


Several hours earlier sensing the baby was getting ready to pop out, Chung quickly woke her husband by calling out their secret word, "Titanic," signally the birth was imminent.

With bags pre-packed and the hospital notified, Yen had his wife at United Family within a short 15 minutes.

Shortly after their 4 am arrival, Chung began having strong contractions and commented she was "physically ready". Hospital staff told her the doctor was "already on route".

The forty-two-year-old father of two grinned widely as he told staff, "I have seen this look on her face before", informing them that the baby was near.

Unwilling to wait for anyone, baby Cayla began crowning around 5:30 am, and with that, the midwife announced, "She's coming!"
