TIME Magazine posted their 2010 list of 200 candidates for their annual ranking of the top 100 most influential people in the world, yesterday April 1st. Those listed range from politicians, athletes, entertainers, artists, etc. Rain was among these 200 greats, showing up at number 48 on the list.
This is not new to Rain being that it is his fifth year being nominated. He proceeded to make the final published list in 2006, but hasn't been able to accomplish the feat again since. However, the pop star did manage to make it into the top three for the online ranking of the top 100 most influential people in 2007 and 2008.
The magazine described Rain as a Korean superstar that has performed for successful world tour concerts. His roles in the Hollywood films "Speed Racing" and "Ninja Assassin" were also mentioned.

Of all days for this thing to arrive... it had to be today. Yes folks, as you can see in our gallery below, the JooJoo is not only real, but we've got one. We're not going to go into details right now, as we've got our hands kind of full this week, but we suggest you hang tight until our review hits (probably early next week) so you can make the final decision if it's going to be this thing or, you know, some other tablet. Or maybe you just want to keep that $500. Hey, it's your call, pal. For now, check out our unboxing, and at least breathe a sigh of relief that if you did shell out for one of these, it's likely going to hit your doorstep pretty darn soon.
We've got a video encoding right now which runs through some of the UI of the device. We hear you in comments, and would like to let you know that there's no conspiracy here -- it's a question of spending time with a device to review it properly. Unless you know what our schedule is like, we'd appreciate everyone chilling out on the episodes in comments. We're happy to shut them off on this post if you can't control yourselves.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that ABC and CBS are hard at work adapting episodes of their TV shows for the iPad, with both set to offer streamable programming to new slate owners immediately upon launch. Their delivery strategies diverge slightly -- ABC will use the app that was unearthed (and confirmed by us) this morning whereas CBS will stream through the browser (hello, HTML5!) -- but the eventual user experience will be a commercial-supported affair that should be familiar to those who've used their respective online streaming services already. All that remains now is for NBC and Hulu to fall in line, as expected, and your portable media consumption menu will be complete. It'll also be interesting to see what happens to iTunes Store pricing for episodic TV programming, which will soon be up against free (or in Hulu's case, potentially subscription-based) alternatives.
