Would a Sandra Bullock-Jesse James reunion kill the actress's career? While rumors that the couple will be getting back together should be ignored, according to Sandra's rep, who confirms the divorce is indeed moving forward, we were curious if all of the public support and sympathy Sandra received during the horrible cheating scandal would vanish if she and Jesse became pals again. So, we asked experts and celebrities ... their answers
"Sandra and Jesse are talking," a friend of the actress confirms. "Most of the conversations are focused on the children, but occasionally Jesse makes her laugh and they forget for a second what he did to her. Of course, Sandra misses him. You don't just stop loving someone because they cheated. The divorce is definitely still on, but could I see them getting remarried down the road? It's not impossible."
And although it's the last thing on her mind at the moment, sources tell me that Hollywood power players are nervous about the impact any sort of reunion would have on Sandra's career.

This is a reader video found on Macrumors forums illustrating something weird. When the guy holds the iPhone in his hands, touching the outside antenna band in two places, he drops reception. Placing the phone down gets him 4 bars.

Motorola Droid X

So, these aren't exactly the most similar phones ever. The Droid X has Android, a high res 4.3-inch screen, Verizon, and a hump in back. The iPhone 4 has iOS, a higher res 3.5-inch screen, and some of the slimmest smartphone dimensions ever. Sure, they're both flagship handsets for their respective teams, but we'd really rather live in a world where Droid X and iPhone 4 hang out after work for drinks than one where they stab each other in their silicon hearts. Sure, there'd be a bit of banter, but isn't there always between friends?

It's still not hitting the bulk of Nexus Ones as far as we can tell, but for what it's worth, Google has unleashed the source code for Android 2.2 today, which is a solid sign that the code's been bulletproofed to the Open Handset Alliance's satisfaction and is ready for deployment across a number of phones from different manufacturers and carriers. It's still ultimately up to a bunch of gatekeepers in suits to decide when various models will get the upgrade, but this is basically zero day -- so let the countdown begin.

With any major product rollout a few hiccups are to be expected, but when they involve one of the major selling points of the new products, we imagine it must really hurt the ol’ ego. Unfortunately for Apple, the highly touted Retina display found on the iPhone 4 looks to be suffering from a pretty bad case of discoloration. Users on various Apple forums the net over are complaining that the bottom right side of their displays are stained with an unsightly yellow mark. Most devices look to be free of this problem, although we can tell you BG himself is one very unhappy camper as his personal iPhone 4 arrived today with a pretty serious case of jaundice. Anyone out there with an iPhone 4 within reach have this issue?

According to one of LOOPRumors’ sources, Apple will sometime in the next 60 days host a special event gathering to introduce a refreshed iMac. No ordinary iMac, it is alleged that the new model will feature “a touch interface” meant for running iOS which seems to indicate the presence of a Multi-Touch display. It’s said that this move will not only allow Apple to gauge how consumers react to a touchscreen desktop, but also aide developers with the creation of iOS applications. Anyone think there’s something to this?

After all the teasing of various body parts in the past 3 days, GnG Production has now released a video teaser to drum up more hype ahead of the debut of their rookie female singer, Kwak Hyun Hwa with the stage name of Psycho.
Just like the images, the short teaser does hint that it would be a sexy dance song that Kwak Hyun Hwa is debuting with. Her single album will drop on June 28th.
Verizon, Motorola and Google have officially announced the DROID X, the latest Android smartphone and something of a multimedia powerhouse. Powered by a 1GHz processor, the DROID X has 8GB of ROM, a 4.3-inch 854 x 480 capacitive touchscreen and will come with a 16GB microSD card preloaded for a total of 24GB storage; that’s useful, as the phone also has an 8-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording.
For playing back that content there’s an HDMI output together with DLNA media streaming support. The battery is a 1,570mAh pack, and there’s EVDO Rev.A, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and USB 2.0. The DROID X runs Android 2.1 though Motorola say an update to 2.2 – complete with Flash 10.1 – will come later in the summer; there’s also a custom UI, Swype and various social networking widgets.
Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus pose for the cameras as they arrive at the “Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert For Flood Recovery” last night in Nashville. Funds go to the Community Foundation, which provides philanthropic services in Middle Tennessee.
Both girls performed during the event, along with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert and Martina McBride.
Taylor chatted with MTV about the flooding, saying “The flood definitely affected all of Nashville. You know, for me, the fact that there were members of my band that lost their homes really affected me, because those are my friends. Those are the people I call up as soon as we get home. The fact that it affected my band, that’s the most directly it affected me.”

Nokia has apparently confirmed that the N8 will be the last NSeries device from the Finnish company to run Symbian, with all future NSeries handsets switching to the MeeGo platform they’re working on in collaboration with Intel. The news comes from Nokia Australia, who told CNet Australia that Symbian^3 and its successor, Symbian^4, will be used primarily on the XSeries and ESeries of handsets.
Meanwhile the Nokia CSeries, which makes up the company’s budget range, will languish with Series 40. The Nokia N9 is tipped as the first MeeGo handset, though there’s no new information on what, exactly, that smartphone will deliver. Previous rumors have suggested a version of the N8 with a slide-out hardware QWERTY keyboard.

We weren’t the only ones to get an iPhone 4 early — iFixIt just released one of their famous teardowns, and while nothing is really new, we do have confirmation on some of the bigger points:
- RAM is confirmed to be 512MB compared to 256MB in the iPad and iPhone 3GS
- The two screws on the bottom allow removal of the back glass plate, not the front LCD as with previous models
- The battery, while not user accessible, is easily replaceable — and huge!
- The entire from LCD assembly will require replacement if damaged. On earlier models people would buy either the LCD or digitizer separately and adhere them together, but with Apple’s new manufacturing process, this won’t really be possible
- The integration of cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radios into the case assembly is “genius”. We agree
So, interested in checking out some more shots of the iPhone 4’s insides? Couple more photos after the jump, and hit iFixIt for the rest!

Well, this is not encouraging. The photo you're seeing above is our leader Joshua's iPhone 4 review unit, snapped by Ryan Block just moments ago. Ryan pointed out that there are some nasty scratches on the back of the phone. While we don't have any better photos of it at the moment, Josh told us that they're hard to see unless in bright light, but they look pretty notable to us for a five day-old unit made of Gorilla Glass. We'll get some better photos for you as soon as humanly possible.
Update: We should note that while iFixit has said that the new iPhone's front panel is made of Gorilla Glass (and they tend to be right about these things), the material on the back of the phone has not been positively identified, though it is also a hardened glass.

After the developers' release of iOS4 was cracked earlier this month, the same team has pulled their finger out and released PwnageTool 4.01 for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and the second-gen iPod Touch.
You'll need to have jailbroken your 3GS previously to make PwnageTool 4.01 work, but if you know what you're doing then definitely do check it out. I shouldn't have to tell you the first rule in gadget-hacking ("safety first"), so godspeed.
