Bullock-James Divorce 'Definitely Still On,' But Would a Reunion Kill Sandy's Career?


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.

Rob Pattinson Related to the Real Dracula?! Say It's So!

Perhaps Robert Pattinson had blood-lust in his blood long before Twilight came along.

According to Ancestry.com, the 24-year-old Brit is related to the "real-life Dracula," brutal 15th-century Transylvanian leader Vlad III Dracula, aka Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

"Without any myth or magic, we find royalty and vampires lurking in Pattinson's life—making his story just as supernatural as the one he's playing on screen," said genealogist Anastasia Tyler.

The link was apparently made through both Pattinson's and ol' Vlad's relation to the British royal family: R.Pattz is distant cousins with Princes William and Harry, while Vlad is a distant uncle.

So it's not like Pattinson's fangs are real or anything, but...still pretty cool, right?

Coincidentally, Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer is also linked to the British royals, giving her a bit of Vlad blood, too.

And this isn't the first oddity Ancestry.com has brought to our attention: According to the site, Hermione Granger player Emma Watson is a relative of a woman convicted of witchcraft in 1592 England.

Lindsay Lohan Was 10 Hours Late for Photo Shoot, Source Says

Lindsay Lohan may be blasting Bravo with accusations that producers set her up to make her look bad on last night's episode of Double Exposure, but an insider tells me that LiLo has no one to blame but herself.

"She was 10 hours late," the insider insists. "The show has actually been nice to her and only has her being eight hours late."

In her most recent Twitter tirade, the embattled actress claims she was purposely given a wrong calltime for a photo shoot being filmed for the new reality show to make it look like she messed up.

However, our insider argues that she couldn't possibly have been set up because one of her handlers was captured on camera apologizing for Lohan's tardiness. "That would mean her people were in on it, too," the source said.

I'm told the photography team of Markus Klinko and Lohan's maybe one-time lady love Indrani and others on set tried to work things out off-camera. "I don't know what is going through her head, but she's forgotten what really happened," the source said.

iPhone 4 Loses Reception When You Hold It By The Antenna Band?


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.

Windows 7 Sells 7 Copies Every Second, 150 Million Copies Total Sold So Far

The Windows operating system upgrade cycle is in full swing. Microsoft has sold 150 million copies of Windows 7 since it launched last October. That comes to 7 copies every second.

Windows 7 is by far the “fastest selling operating system in history,” according to Microsoft. But, in case you are wondering, those Windows 7 launch parties had little to do with it (although they were fun). Most of the demand is being driven by enterprises, many of which sat out Windows Vista because of the financial crisis and, well, it sucked (no, it wasn’t the pirates’ fault). Microsoft estimates that 75 percent of enterprises are currently evaluating Windows 7. Any guesses on how fast we get to 300 million copies sold?

Taiwan's president praises Jay Chou for promoting traditional Chinese characters

Despite the fact that Chinese Mandarin is the most commonly used language in both mainland China and Taiwan, there has long been a lingering issue in overseas schools on the instruction of the written component due to both sides of the strait using different writing scripts: the simplified character set in mainland China and the traditional character set used in Taiwan.


This “One Language, Two Systems” problem, which is a play on the “One China, Two Systems” that famously describes the differing political and economic systems between both countries, reflects the lack of agreement between Beijing and Taipei over the teaching of simplified and traditional Chinese characters in domestic and overseas schools.

A recent solution by a Taiwanese governmental body though has proposed a solution that encourages juxtaposing traditional and simplified Chinese in language textbooks for schools attended by overseas Taiwanese, in order to encourage fluency in both scripts and to adapt to the needs in knowing both.

Taeyang’s final track for SOLAR album revealed!

The final 13th song to complete the list of track titles for Taeyang’s upcoming SOLAR album has finally been revealed!


With the teamwork of him and Cat@yst in the song production, and Taeyang personally spilling out the lyrics, the last bonus track to complete the full list is Take It Slow – which seems like an impressive song just by looking at Taeyang’s major role in the song making process.

Just 8 more days till this hot album release, and starting today (KST), a minute long preview of each song will be teased up till the the day the SOLAR album will be dropped and on replay on your very own iPods.

Droid X vs. iPhone 4... hang out!


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?

This Is What'll Happen When You Drop Your iPhone 4


No camera tricks, no dummy iPhones, no editing, and no science. Just a video of an unfortunate iPhone 4 being dropped over and over again. This is what'll happen when you drop your iPhone 4.

After doing a drop test with a motherboard-less iPhone 4, the folks at iFixYouri finally got the chance to do it with the real thing. And the results are even more painful to see.

Twilight Talk from Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner

Over the last few weeks, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner have been traveling the globe and promoting Eclipse. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson has been filming Water for Elephants.


But all three stars will converage on Los Angeles tomorrow night for the world premiere of the third Twilight Saga film. They also sat down with Entertainment Weekly recently and talked about the franchise in general. Excerpts from the interview are below:

Stewart, on Bella in Breaking Dawn: One of the main objectives of the series is to get Bella to a point where she’s mature enough to make such a hefty decision, and she goes through a lot. In the fourth one, she is going to become a wife. She is going to become a mom. She is going to become an adult and a vampire. To do it so young, it needs to be believable. I’m really excited about playing that.

Rob Pattinson Defends Kristen Stewart in "Rape" Comment Scandal

The outspoken, often criticized Kristen Stewart has a fierce defender in Robert Pattinson, her Twilight Saga costar (and on-the-downlow love).

Stewart was recently excoriated for an interview with Britain's Elle, in which she likened her encounters with paparazzi to "being raped." After associations like RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) blasted the actress, 20, she issued an apology.

"None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first," Pattinson snipes to Entertainment Weekly.

"That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone."

With Stewart by his side during in the interview, the 24-year-old Brit adds angrily, "There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs."

Android 2.2 Froyo source code available now


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.

Discoloration plagues some early iPhone 4 displays


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?

New Windows Live Essentials available to beta testers on June 24

Windows Live Essentials, a suite of online and desktop services that includes hotmail, messenger, sync, movie maker and photo gallery – will go live for everyone tomorrow. Until now the service has only been available to a limited set of beta testers. The services will be available here when it goes live sometime on Thursday.

The desktop portions of the services only work on Windows devices. English, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish versions of the service will be available.

Photo Fuse alone makes the suite worth trying out, in our opinion. The photo application, called Windowls Live Photo Gallery, will also now have facial recognition and person tagging prompts as well.

Raymond Lam Won't Invite Linda Chung As Performing Guest

Raymond Lam announced another show (July 28) would be added in his upcoming concert in HK Coliseum, performing three shows in total. He opened champagne with high executives Ng Yu, Virginia Lok, and Ho Lai Chun etc to celebrate. He was once carried away that he broke the glass on the table. Raymond said: "It's not my request to add another show, tickets are really sold out, I owe many tickets for other people, don't know how to make those tickets appear." Did Raymond's dad buy many tickets to support? "No! He never do that type of thing, not even when I release album, how many relatives there are equals how many tickets they would get."

Last time in his concert Raymond wore T-back and played with water. He expressed this time he would play with fire and be sexy, but didn't expose anything else: "Don't know how the outfits are going to look like, anyways there is no bottom line, it's more important to suit the whole song, won't create something on purpose. (How many more shows do you want to add?) If I can handle it then there is no problem, I really want to add in my heart, but need to be perfect in every show, not like it's better to add more. (Practiced with Joey Yung?) No, but still many ideas, also want to invite Ah Sa as guest. (Would consider Linda Chung?) No, don't want to have conflicts when releasing products, plus this year I want to do more on my own."

Arashi Takes the Top Two Spots in the Singles Ranking for the First Half of 2010

On the 23rd, it was announced that popular idol group Arashi has taken the first two spots on the Oricon Singles ranking chart for the first half of 2010. It is the first time in Oricon history that the top two positions have been taken by the same artist two years running.


Arashi's single Troublemaker was released in March and has already sold 688,000 copies taking the first spot; while Monster, released in May, has taken the second spot selling 654,000 copies. In the Music DVD ranking, Arashi also placed first with their April release of ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5 x 10, which sold 688,000 copies. Continuing on from their success last year in the Singles and Music DVD rankings, Arashi has taken the top sales in both categories for the first half of this year.

Scarlett Johansson Slams Tony Critics: "I Worked My Ass Off"

Scarlett Johansson is firing back at critics who argue the actress is undeserving of a Tony Award for her role in Broadway's A View From the Bridge.

"I pounded the pavement for years and I know what it's like to struggle as an actor. A lot of it is luck and, certainly, a lot of it is opportunity -- and the lack of that," Johansson told Broadway World. "So, I totally understand the frustration there."

The 25-year-old actress' win prompted fellow Broadway star Hunter Foster to start a Facebook campaign, "Give The Tonys Back To Broadway." Foster believes Johansson's Hollywood status was the main reason behind her victory earlier this month, preventing Broadway veterans from taking home a trophy.

"The actors we've seen this season that we recognize from film -- Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Liev Schreiber and Catherine Zeta-Jones, etc. -- have not only made a huge impact on ticket sales but have given tour de force performances and all started their careers as stage actors, dedicating themselves to making an impression in the theater," Johansson argued. "This goes to show that actors are actors, whatever the outlet, and with perseverance and drive, can cross the boundaries of the medium."

Kim Kardashian Has a New Man!

After her split from football star Reggie Bush earlier this year, Kim Kardashian was in no rush to find love again as she focused on her career. Then love found her.

After briefly being linked to Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Rinaldo, Kardashian is going out with another football player, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin.


"They met at a restaurant in L.A. a few months ago and exchanged numbers and have been talking ever since," says a source of the couple. "They've had a few dates and it's going really well."

While the pair are officially dating, "he's not quite her boyfriend," the source says. "They're taking it slow. She thinks he's a really good guy. He's really sweet to her. … He thinks Kim is his dream girl."

Before Kardashian, 29, met Austin, she had been trying to live the single life, but the source says, "They just really connected."

Jennifer Love Hewitt Plays Prostitute Mom In Lifetime’s “The Client List”


J. Love tackles the perils of a real-life prostitution whore in a new made-for-TV drama.

In The Client List, coming to Lifetime next month, Jennifer Love Hewitt produces and stars as Samantha Horton, a former Texas homecoming queen and physical therapist who is forced to save her family from the brink of bankruptcy after both she and her ex-football star husband (Eric Laneuville) lose their jobs.

Cybill Shepherd stars as Samantha’s outspoken mother, Cassie.

The reporter says, “Going on behind me right now is a MAJOR BUST,” just then, the camera pans over to J. Love — whose ample chesticles are exposed and bouncing in all their perky glory. Hilarious editing, Lifetime!

Microsoft confirms Canvas, video tags for IE9

Microsoft released the third platform preview for Internet Explorer 9 Wednesday, officially confirming support for two important pieces of the HTML5 standards puzzle.

Internet Explorer 9 will support the Canvas graphics technology and the video and audio tags specified as part of the still-developing HTML5 standard, said Ryan Gavin, senior director for Internet Explorer, at a media event in San Francisco. The company demonstrated the performance of the third platform preview as compared to other browsers, taking specific jabs at Firefox and Chrome as it made its demonstration.

As part of its bid to overhaul Internet Explorer--which is still the world's leading Web browser but has been losing share and cachet--Microsoft has chosen a new strategy for rolling out code to developers and browser enthusiasts. It released the first "platform preview" of IE9 at the Mix conference in March, and has now released new versions every eight weeks, Gavin said.

Rumor: Apple to introduce iMac with iOS support within 60 days


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?

160,000 Android Phones Sold Per Day

While unveiling the new Motorola Droid X for Verizon, Google’s Andy Rubin said that there are currently about 160,000 Android devices activated daily. That’s about 4.8 million devices per month, or 57 million per year – really impressive for an OS announced less than two years ago.

The number of daily activations will surely grow – it grew to 160,000 from 100,000 since last month – so Android is becoming, probably faster than anyone has expected, one of the world’s major mobile platforms. In fact, what am I saying here, it already is, and by the way things are going, even Nokia’s Symbian might be dethroned soon from the leading position it currently has.

60 different Android devices (mostly phones, but there are tablets, e-readers and netbooks, too) manufactured by 21 companies are now available around the world, in 49 countries, via 59 mobile carriers.

To celebrate Android’s success, Google is releasing Android 2.2 Froyo to device manufactures today – so we should expect new smartphones with Froyo on board to become available shortly. Of course, Android 2.2 updates for older devices will also be rolled out pretty soon, but this depends not only on Google, but also on device manufacturers.

f(x), “As compared to the dream of winning #1 on music shows, we want to be Asia’s top pop dance girlgroup”

Girlgroup f(x) reveals a goal that they treasure more than winning #1 on music shows.

f(x) was on MBC Golden Fishery aired on 24th June. This is the 2nd part to their appearance on the show.


The members were asked on the show, “How do you feel seeing So Nyeo Shi Dae winning #1?” They answered, “Of course we have though of wanting to win #1. But it can’t be helped if we can’t do it. Even though it is not that we don’t have the greed to, but we have our own goals too.”

Leader Victoria said, “Our goal is to be the best pop dance girlgroup in Asia. #1 is of course good but if we can’t do it, we will aim to fulfil our goal.”

Meanwhile, the girls’ most recent hit is ‘NU ABO’ off their 1st minialbum and it has received much love from music fans after its released.

Ah Sa Doesn't Mind Boyfriend is the Showbiz

Ah Sa went to promote her Mandarin album "AS A SA" in Mainland lately. She showed up in Chongqing earlier and accepted interview from the media. Talked about her current love life, she said she won't reject others introducing boyfriends to her, she feels fate is the most important. She believes she would definitely find happiness in the future. Asked whether she won't consider finding her partner in the showbiz? She said let it be and won't oppose. As right now she is still friends with Ronald Cheng and would still call each other. She doesn't rule out performing with him together. As for the concert Twins held in April, the 3DVD and 3DVD+2CD version of it is releasing today. The two already pre-ordered them because earlier they owed concert ticket debts to their family and friends, so now they can only settle it with DVD.

Psycho reveals video teaser


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.

Motorola Droid X for Verizon official: July 15 for $200; hands-on


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.

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.

White iPhone 4 delayed until late July 2010

Hoping for a white iPhone 4? You’ll have to hold out a little longer, sadly. Apple has just announced that, because of unforeseen manufacturing difficulties, the white version of the new smartphone now won’t be available until the second half of July 2010.

“White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.” Apple

The difficulties themselves haven’t been specified, but Apple seem to have been overwhelmed with demand for even just the black iPhone 4. Having seen 600,000 presales availability is pushed back until the middle of July 2010 for that model, too.

Lee Hyori pulls off another unique concept for Dazed and Confused

Miley Cyrus & Taylor Swift: Nashville Rising


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.”

Adam Lambert - Glam Nation Nokia (New York)

Anyone expecting a raunch 'n' roll concert from "American Idol" star Adam Lambert at the Nokia Theatre last night was sorely disappointed.


The gay guy-doll who shocked America with his boy-on-boy kiss and simulated oral sex at the American Music Awards last November played it safe with an entertaining, tame-by-comparison debut as a headliner in New York.

OK, he did lick his bassist's face, but this is New York.

In leather, sparkle makeup and his signature half-shaved-head hairdo, the singer wowed with his multi-octave pipes, confident stage presence -- more slither than swagger -- and old-fashioned, campy showmanship.

Lady Gaga Takes a Tumble in London

Has Lady Gaga's avant-garde fashion finally caught up with her?


At London's Heathrow Airport Wednesday, the "Alejandro" singer's sky-high platform boots caused her to fall on her face (see photo, left).

The singer, 24, stands tall and proud (and half-naked) on the latest issue of Rolling Stone, out now.

"When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl," she tells the magazine. "Then I say, '... you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.' "

Apple files second patent infringement lawsuit against HTC

It appears Apple has filed yet another patent infringement lawsuit against HTC and its subsidiaries.

From the looks of it, the new suit, which was filed earlier this week in the same Delaware court as the initial lawsuit filed in March 2010, is adding two one additional patent to the twenty the Cupertino company alleged were being infringed upon by HTC.

As the court documents (embedded below) show, Apple mentions four of its patents in the suit. However, two of them had already been included in the initial suit, and it appears like they are being re-included because of some minor corrections that needed to be made by the USPTO.

But, there’s also mention of infringement upon these two (similarly titled) patents, which were not initially included:

- 6,282,646: “System for real-time adaptation to changes in display configuration” by Hendry et. al. and assigned to Apple Computer, Inc. (Granted 8/28/2001)

- 7,380,116: “System for real-time adaptation to changes in display configuration” by Hendry et. al. and assigned to Apple Inc. (Granted 5/27/2008)

Nokia Nseries to make MeeGo switch post N8?


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.

Apple iPhone 4 gets torn apart


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!

G-Dragon needs a girl?

Not necessarily… G-Dragon recently updated his me2day with a photo of himself wearing a shirt with the words, “I NEED A GIRL” on the front.

Fans commented, “You need a girl? k k k I need you k k“, “we are waiting for your stage! come on YB~ come on jiyong~!“, and “So excited for I Need a Girl~~~!”


Less than a week ago, we found out that fellow Big Bang member G-Dragon would be featuring on Taeyang’s comeback title track, I Need a Girl. And just yesterday, 2NE1’s DARA gave us a sneak peek onto the set of the I Need a Girl music video. With just one track left to be revealed along with the minute long previews, everyone’s eyes are set on July 1st, the day the album is set to be released.

TaecYeon speaks up, “Scandal with YoonA? That’s not true at all”

Ok TaecYeon speaks out about rumours of love relationship between So Nyeo Shi Dae YoonA and himself.

TaecYeon was on KBS 2TV WinWin aired 22nd June when he talked about the rumours, “Since we have been filming CF together late last year, we have been asked by many if we are really dating. But that’s not true.”

He added, “And because of these scandals, our relationship has become uncomfortable. Besides our program on SBS, we don’t meet at all. We have become more wary.”

Tesco Mobile iPhone 4 pricing revealed: cheapest yet?

Tesco Mobile may not be the first name UK iPhone 4 buyers think of, but the supermarket’s MVNO arm is aiming to change all that with its mighty affordable tariffs. Freshly announced today, monthly packages kick off from £20 for a mere 12-month agreement, including unlimited SMS and 1GB of data.

If you want that, you’ll have to pay £349 for the iPhone 4 16GB handset itself (or £429 for the 32GB version), though the phone gets cheaper if you opt for the £35 12-month agreement (£229/£299) or the £45 24-month agreement (£19/£99). Tesco throw in unlimited BT OpenZone WiFi hotspot access too.

There are also pay-as-you-go deals to be had, with the iPhone 4 16GB £479 with “triple credit” for calls and SMS and 1GB of data per month for the first year; alternatively you can get the 32GB handset for £569. Those deals, too, come with WiFi hotspot access.

First iPhone 4 Scratch On Its Ultradurable Glass


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.

Lindsay Lohan Blasts Bravo’s “Double Exposure”

La Lohan has a bone to pick with the producers of Bravo’s Double Exposure, a new reality show offering inside peek into the fashion-centered world of photographers-to-the-stars Markus Klinko and Indrani (who has been romantically-linked to the sometimes lesbian) and fashion stylist GK Reid.


Last night’s episode — titled “Is Lindsay Here Yet?” –- appears to show the big screen “Mean Girl” turning up late for a photoshoot. Lohan signed up for the promo shoot back in September to promote her 6126 leggings brand and assures fans she was not 11 hours late to her photocall. The troubled actress is adamant she was “set up.”

Lohan has launched an angry tirade at Bravo bosses over her portrayal on the series. In a series of posts on her Twitter page on Tuesday night, Lohan spat: “This couldn’t be more UNTRUE – sucks when ‘friends’ use you (in this case for ratings) even if they’re lying…”

Verizon kills the Droid Eris; Droid Incredible still delayed – Motorola couldn’t be happier

The imminent launch of the Droid X couldn’t have come at a better time for Motorola, as HTC’s two Android smartphones that Verizon introduced in late 2009 are now both hard to find.

Update: just minutes after I posted this, Verizon has changed the Droid Incredible shipping date to July 21. That’s great.
