8/07/2010 11:47:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

He might not be on the level of Eminem and Kanye West - both of whom released new videos this week, which you can view HERE and HERE - but David Archuleta possesses as loyal a fan base as any singer out there.


Those followers should be extra excited today, too, because the former American Idol runner-up has also come out with a video for his latest single.

It's titled "Something 'Bout Love" and will be included on Archie's new album, whose release date has been pushed back until October 5. Says David of the following video:

"[It's] about people who are feeling a little down and a little alone... and just feeling a little frustrated with love or their situation in life. Even though you might feel down with love, there's something about it you shouldn't give up on."

Watch, enjoy and comment on it below!

8/07/2010 11:47:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Curvy sisters Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney had a job on their hands yesterday when they were asked to rock the androgynous lock on a mystery photo shoot.

The reality TV stars were dressed in men's suits, braces and ties for the pictures, some of which which Kim put up on her official Twitter account, @KimKardashian, despite describing it as a "top secret family photo shoot."

Kim joked about the snaps: "Gotta spice up the boy look ;- )"



Ironically, in a Twitter exchange yesterday with a fan, she said she felt her life was "blessed" but moaned about the "lack of privacy".

Meanwhile, the Kardashian sisters have just announced - via their social media, of course, that they're designing their own range of handbags, shoes and accessories.

Windows 7 takes on iPad… and holds its own?

8/07/2010 11:46:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Plenty gets said about Windows 7 and its suitability for tablets, and despite Steve Ballmer’s best efforts not much of it is positive. But have we all been too harsh on the Microsoft OS? A side-by-side comparison video pitting a Hanvon slate running Windows 7 agains the iPad running iOS goes some way to suggesting that the desktop OS can hold its own against its Apple counterpart.



The demo runs through browsing, text entry using on-screen keyboards, YouTube access (either via the full site, on the Hanvon slate, or the iPad’s dedicated YouTube app), messaging and Google Earth, as well as a few other tasks. While at first glance you might assume the mobile-centric iPad would easily overshadow its rival, the Hanvon puts in a surprisingly good showing.

iPod refresh coming sooner than expected

8/07/2010 11:46:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

A report from Brazilian news site MacMagazine says Apple's annual refresh of its iPod line is little more than a week away.


Citing "a reliable source within Apple," MacMagazine pegs the unveiling of the next-generation iPods between August 14-16, the first two days of which are a Saturday and a Sunday, leaving Monday the 16th as a more likely candidate.

For the last four years, Apple has held its iPod press events in early September, and is widely expected to follow suit this year. In the past, the company released new iPod models on an annual basis as early as March or April, and as late as October--as it did in 2005 with the introduction of the iPod Video.

Rumored details of the next-generation iPod Touch have been trickling in over the past few weeks. The latest reports have pointed to the addition of a gyroscope, a so-called retina display, and both a front- and back-facing camera to facilitate the company's FaceTime video chat feature. All of these upgrades were made to this year's iPhone as well.

HP CEO Hurd resigns over sexual harassment investigation

8/07/2010 11:45:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Well, this is unexpected, HP has just announced that CEO Mark Hurd is stepping down. CFO Cathie Lesjak has been appointed as interim CEO.

According to a press release, Hurd, 53, is resigning on the heels of sexual harassment charges by a former HP contractor. The company’s investigation concluded that there was no sexual harassment violation, however it did find that Hurd violated HP’s “Standards of Business Conduct.” On a conference call, HP’s General Counsel, Mike Holston elaborated further, explaining that the case centered around expense reports that were used to hide the true nature of Hurd’s close relationship with the contractor.

“Mark demonstrated a profound lack of judgment that seriously undermined his credibility and damaged his effectiveness in leading HP – and Mark agreed,” Holston said in a statement.

According to the details available, it seems like Hurd, who is married (at least for now), was entangled in a personal relationship with a hired contractor— an affair he tried to obfuscate with some fudged expense reports.

JaeBum also talked about his feelings having to leave 2PM permanently and his thoughts about the other 2PM members. He said, “After I returned to Korea, I have not contacted the other 2PM members. I feel sorry towards the other members.”

8/07/2010 11:43:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Louis Koo Tin Lok, Gao Yuan Yuan, Johnnie To and Wai Ka Fai are currently in the midst of filming new movie, Single Men and Women "單身男女". Wearing a shirt and tie in one office scene, it was obvious that Louis had dropped significant weight. Due to the extremely hot temperatures while filming in Hong Kong and Shanghai , Louis has dropped twenty pounds recently! His costumes had to be continuously altered due to his thin frame.

Gao Yuan Yuan and Louis shared a passionate kiss in one scene, which was quite humorous since the pair kissed while attempting to tidy the house and close the lights. Was there any embarrassment during the kissing scene? Yuan Yuan said, “Actors have to be immersed in their roles!” Yuan Yuan indicated that she communicated in Mandarin with Louis, complimenting on her co-star’s improvement in the dialect.

Angelina Jolie: Still Having to Defend Shiloh's Style

8/07/2010 11:43:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

We thought for sure Angelina Jolie's comments last month would finally put an end to the relentless discussion over her daughter Shiloh's boyish style.

But it seems the Salt star is, yet again, facing questions about something that is really nobody's business…

"I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl who tells me what she wants to wear and I let her be who she is," the actress tells the British mag Grazia. "I think people think kids should be a certain way, but I feel they should wear what they feel like wearing and they should express themselves."

As for her little one's locks, the mother of six adds: "Shiloh cried one night and said, 'Please cut my hair off. I don't want to have long hair.' I'm not going to leave it long just because somebody thinks I should."

Agreed. Now, how about everybody just go and pick on the style of someone their own size?

Droid 2 looks confirmed for August 12, Best Buy pits it against the competition

8/07/2010 11:42:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments


We'd broken the news of the Droid 2's August 12 street date a couple weeks ago, and we're now getting confirmation of that -- at Best Buy, anyhow -- thanks to a couple tips we've received today, including the screen shot above. An actual launch is going to feel like sweet release after what has become the most thoroughly-leaked phone in recent memory, but if you need yet more fodder for your overactive imagination, we'd recommend you follow the break for Best Buy's competitive analysis of the phone, which does a commendable job breaking down all the differences between it and its direct predecessor -- notably the significantly speedier core, the mobile hotspot support, 802.11n, and the onboard storage (though you get a smaller microSD card in the box). Question is, where can we get that R2-D2 edition?

Sprint Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S) pre-orders may start today

8/07/2010 11:42:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Reports are coming in that later today, Sprint will start taking pre-orders for the Samsung Epic 4G, their version of the Galaxy S.

Right now however, the page that will supposedly allow you to do this still shows just the option to sign up to receive updates via email.


Rumor also has it that reservations for the Epic 4G can be made until August 17th. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the phone will ship on the 18th, but one can hope. Apparently, only one reservation will be allowed per customer, and you won’t have to pony up any cash to pre-order Sprint’s new top smartphone.

If you do go ahead and reserve a Samsung Epic 4G, you’ll have to then buy it by noon the day after launch, since Sprint won’t keep it for you any longer. They are probably anticipating a very big number of requests.

Upcoming 21 member boy band Double B 21 releases their MV

8/07/2010 11:41:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Yes, you read correctly. There is supposedly an upcoming 21 member boy band called Double B 21.

I thought the 6th grade girl group member was ridiculous, but this might be just as bad.


In this music video of their song One, you can only spot seven members, but that’s due to them splitting it up into three groups of seven to perform, because 21 is just too many for one stage.

I’m not 100% sure as to how they’re going to work this out – but it’s sure going to be interesting and a major headache memorizing each member of the group.

At least the song is not a cheesy dance track, but rather a soothing ballad that is nice to listen to. Check it out:

Taylors Swift and Lautner Reuniting in Valentine's Day Sequel?

8/07/2010 12:07:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

If you've been living under a celluloid rock, the world's romantic comedy stars joined together in February's hot mess, Valentine's Day, and we got treated to tons of celebs popping up for a few minutes here and there in the mostly-OK flick.

Did you miss it? Perhaps you did.

We got Jessica Alba, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel and a ton of other stars showing off their rom-com chops. Including former lovebirds Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.

For the two pretty teens, this film lit the spark in their once-fiery relationship (Tay-Squared, anyone?). So you can guess how freakin' interested we were when a certain knowledgeable source dropped a hint about the film's upcoming sequel, New Year's Eve...

Turns out it features an all-new cast of characters (quick, somebody call Jennifer Aniston, and please nobody tell Gerard Butler). Unless, of course, one particular starlet is asked to stay—none other than darling Swift!

"They were thinking about having Taylor Swift be in college at NYU," whispers one of our sneakiest sources (who's directly involved with the sequel project). "They were throwing her name out there a while back."

Transformers 3: Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel shoot dramatic explosion as filming for follow-up continues

8/07/2010 12:07:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

The Transformers film franchise isn't known for being short on action scenes, and it seems the third instalment is going to be more thrilling than ever.


Judging by pictures of stars Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel filming scenes in Chicago this week, Transformers 3 is going to be full of explosions, fight scenes and near-death experiences.

Duhamel, who plays Major William Lennox, a member of the United States Army Rangers, is seen protecting LaBeouf's cilivan character Sam Witwicky as a huge explosion blows member of his team into the air and nearly claims Sam's life.

While there have been few details revealed about the storyline of the upcoming film, director Michael Bay has said that this is likely to be the last movie in the franchise.

Symbian: Hey, Google, We're Selling 300,000 Per Day

8/07/2010 12:06:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently announced that the company is activating 200,000 Android handsets per day. Not to be outdone, Symbian shared some numbers of its own.

The Symbian Foundation shared some big news this week. It shipped more than 27 million devices during the second quarter of 2010. This amounts to nearly 300,000 Symbian devices being sold per day, 207 per minute or over three per second.

To put that in perspective, 300,000 handsets sold each day adds up to 9 million Symbian devices sold per month. Symbian and its handset partners can sell approximately 45 million phones between now and the end of the year. Symbian's yearly total will likely top 100 million handsets.

For comparison's sake, Google and its partners sell 1 million Android handsets every five days, 6 million every 30 days, or 18 million every calendar quarter. Between August 1 and December 31, Google could sell another 30 million Android handsets.

ASUS' Windows Phone 7 debuts in the wild?

8/07/2010 12:06:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Boy, this thing here has more questions than answers attached to it. Presented as the first Windows Phone 7 device to show up in Pakistan, of all places, this angular handset bears a serial number on top and atypical "powered by ASUS" branding on the bottom, leading us to believe that if it's legit, it's certainly a pre-production model. Even so, should you dare to invest some trust into its validity, you'll find plenty of reason to be titillated: brushed metal adorns the front, a rare sight on mobile phones of any description, the top right corner looks suspiciously like it might be housing a front-facing camera, and the display looks very much like an OLED panel to us. Exciting, if true.

Joey Yung says no feel, Ah Sa praises No. 1!

8/07/2010 12:02:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

Raymond Lam's new released album had very good response. He also filmed kissing scenes with both seniors, Joey Yung and Charlene Choi (Ah Sa). Joey Yung expressed that there was not enough feel, however Ah Sa sweetly said, "It was so good! Really No.1!"


Raymond Lam, Joey Yung, Ah Sa and Wong Cho Lam's new EEG series, (Emerald Pearl) revolved around 4-angled-love. Joey Yung and Ah Sa both had kissing scenes with Raymond Lam in the film. Ah Sa who has a lot of experience in kissing scenes was asked if Raymond was nice to kiss? Her expression showed she enjoyed and said, "It was so good! Really No.1, I have never had such a good one!" On the contrary, Joey said that she only had a very mild one, no wonder she was disappointed saying, "I couldn't feel if it was nice to kiss, because there was too little to feel, the funniest thing was I had to be still, cannot close my mouth when I kissed, so afraid that my saliva would leak on him, next time I'd better kiss Cho Lam." (The height is not compatible!) "Then I'll carry him la! Haha!"

Britney Spears hits a bum note as pretty dress reveals a bit too much from behind

8/07/2010 12:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

She's never been known for her sense of style, so it was refreshing to see Britney Spears looking pretty and summery as she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday.

The 28-year-old singer wore a cute brown tassled minidress as she popped out to pick up a milkshake at Johnny Rockets, looking better than she has done in months.


However, Britney had apparently failed to realise how short the outfit looked from the back and revealed a bit too much as she walked up a flight of stairs.

Quickly realising her mistake, Britney attempted to cover up her rear with one of the long sleeves on the dress, but wasn't fast enough for waiting photographers.

Despite her fashion faux pas, mother-of-two Britney giggled as she reached the top of the stairs and brushed off the embarrassing incident.

11.6″ MacBook Air refresh tipped for September, plus clickwheel-free iPod nano

8/07/2010 12:00:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Apple’s now venerable MacBook Air currently languishes as the notebook most in need of an update, and so it comes as little surprise to hear that just such a refresh may be imminent. According to BMO analyst Keith Bachman, Apple’s supply chain is ramping up for what he believes to be a September launch; interestingly, he also expects the new MacBook Air to start off significantly cheaper than the current model’s $1,499 base price.



Bachman has no hard specifications for the two SKUs he expects, but previous rumors had suggested that Apple would reduce the Air’s screen size from 13.3-inches to 11.6-inches, and switch to using Intel’s latest ultra-low-voltage Core iX processors. The new model would be positioned more as a mainstream notebook rather than as a premium ultraportable.

ASUS Eee Tablet due October for “under $599″

8/07/2010 12:00:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

ASUS has fallen a month behind in its launch schedule for the Eee Tablet monochrome ebook reader, while the pricing seems to have shot up; according to Digitimes, ASUS has confirmed that the Eee Tablet will drop in October 2010, priced at “under $599″. Announced back at Computex, the Eee Tablet was initially tipped to arrive in September, priced between $199 and $299.



The price discrepancy could be accounted for by comparison carrier subsidized and unsubsidized figures. ASUS is apparently in talks with carriers regarding bundled sales, which could potentially bring the price down to the originally suggested levels.

Unlike rival ereaders, such as the Amazon Kindle, the ASUS Eee Tablet uses an LCD TFT display rather than an epaper screen from E Ink. This non-backlit monochrome panel allows for 0.1s screen refresh rates, far faster than E Ink can manage, and ASUS expect it to be a hit with students who can use the included stylus to annotate documents (including those they’ve snapped with the integrated 2-megapixel camera). Battery life is tipped at around 10hrs.
