Rihanna Doritos Ad “Who’s That Chick” [VIDEO]

10/20/2010 04:57:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

This week, Doritos debuted its new partnership with pop star Rihanna. Just a few weeks shy of the release of her fifth disc, Loud, the island-born beauty teams up with the snack food giant for the release of a special David Guetta-produced single, titled “Who’s That Chick?” It’s all a part of Doritos’ Late Night ad campaign, a promotional effort that the company touts as a “one-of-a-kind, interactive music experience.”


Here’s how it works: Fans are able to see Rihanna’s video by pointing a graphic symbol located on the back of Doritos Late Night special-edition bags at a Web cam. Depending on how fans position the bag, one of two different pop-up videos will appear. Online viewers may choose between RiRi’s bright and colorful light side or her sexy and sassy dark side HERE.

Lady Gaga Married in Greece (Tabloid Declares)!

10/20/2010 04:56:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Lady Gaga is married! She tied the knot in a secret beach wedding in Greece. True story, except for the part where Lady Gaga did not get married in any way.

Minor details. Why let that stop you if you're a tabloid?

Clever use of the realistic-looking pic, New Weekly, down to the white attire and Luc Carl (or Luc Carl stand-in). But rest assured, Gaga is not Mrs. Carl. Yet.

In actual Gaga news, she put on some pounds lately, or at least it appears she did. We're not being critical, we think she looks a lot healthier. Way to be, G!

CDMA iPhone 3,2 N92 prototype spotted?

10/20/2010 04:56:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments

The Verizon CDMA iPhone rumors continue, with the latest tidbit being a selection of photos purported to show a CDMA handset undergoing testing. According to source site Richy Rich, the images are of the so-called “N92″ device first mentioned by John Gruber back in August as being in engineering verification, only if the screenshots are to be believed it has now reached DVT or “device verification testing” stage.



The prototype apparently has a micro-SIM slot, which fits in with rumors earlier in the week about the iPhone 3,2 – tipped to be the CDMA version – hitting AP testing complete with such a slot in evidence. There’s no telling whether that’s a global roaming concession, an LTE SIM reader, or something else.

Now, we’ve seen plenty of rumor and speculation on Apple’s intent for CDMA devices, and our fair share of fake images as well, so heap plenty of salt on this particular “leak”. Still, with the tipped release date being sometime in January 2011, there isn’t that long to wait until we find out for sure; that doesn’t even take into account the possibility of further leaks in the meantime.

11.6-inch MacBook Air detailed

10/20/2010 04:55:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


So, we've just been discussing the rumored, and long overdue, MacBook Air refresh with a trusted source. This person recently had a working model in their possession for a few minutes and managed to glean quite a bit of detail that would seemingly confirm Apple's plan to announce an 11-inch MacBook Air at the "Back to the Mac" event later today. Here's what we've been told to expect:
  • Smaller 11.6-inch display.
  • 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (with a 2.33GHz option possible).
  • 2GB of memory in the base configuration.
  • No optical drive, naturally.
  • Mini DisplayPort, USB, and SD card reader along the left-hand side and USB and power on the right (that's 2x USB).
  • The trackpad has been updated to match that of the new MacBook Pros.
  • Although smaller due to the 11.6-inch display, it's still about the same thickness as the current MacBook Air.
  • A black power key now sits immediately to the right of a smaller eject key on the MBA's keyboard -- the round aluminum power button is gone. A design decision that might support the MBA's rumored instant-on capabilities though our source didn't see this functionality exhibited (possibly because it was running OS X 10.6.4).

Bitten In The Ass: iPhone 4 Is Basically Apple’s “Vista” — Except The Opposite

10/20/2010 04:54:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , 0 Comments

“It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I’m okay with that.“

That was Microsoft COO Kevin Turner during his keynote speech this past July at the company’s Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington. To be exact, he gave that speech on July 14, two days before Apple’s “Antennagate” press conference. At that point, talk about the iPhone 4′s antenna was at a fever pitch. And there were plenty who (foolishly) believed Apple would have to do a recall.

At the time, we noted that this statement was likely going to come back to bite Turner in the ass. Well, here it is, teeth sharpened and hungry for undersides.

Yesterday, Apple announced their Q4 2010 earnings. It was basically record numbers across the board (aside from iPods, a shrinking business). But the most impressive number of all was definitely the number of iPhones sold last quarter: 14.1 million.

Not just a new record, a new record far beyond anything Apple had ever seen before. A number so big that it pushed Apple past RIM in terms of smartphone sales.

SNSD criticized for lip syncing during Taiwanese concert

10/20/2010 04:54:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

With SNSD busily promoting in both Korea and Japan, their recent performance in Taiwan has been put on the chopping block of a Taiwanese entertainment broadcast for lip syncing.


CTi News (中天新聞台) from Taiwan reported, “On October 17th, SNSD held their second overseas concert in Taiwan and filled the concert hall with thousands of fans. The excitement was amazing.”

However, the channel went on to report, “Unfortunately, when the cameras would get a close up on the members’ faces as they were performing one of their hit tracks, the music would continue without the members even putting the mics against their faces.”

JYJ demonstrated their unending star power by selling 20,000 tickets, double the amount of their previous Seoul showcase, in just 20 minutes!

An organization official from Interpark, the premier online ticketing service in Korea, stated:

“The previous Seoul Showcase tickets sold out in 15 minutes, but this concert had double the ticket count and sold out in 20. The faster rate of sale speaks for the massive star power JYJ has. When the tickets were sold-out, we received even more demand from fans who couldn’t purchase the first batch. The second set of tickets, originally scheduled for next week, will be available sooner then expected.”

Acting as the kickstart to their first global tour, this concert will be directed by Jeri Slaughter – Slaughter has previously directed for top pop icons such as Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina Aguilera. He confidently asserted, “This will be the best concert Seoul has ever seen“.

Teasers for the concert will be posted in the coming weeks on JYJ’s official site. Stay tuned, as allkpop will continue to update on this event!

Chrome moves to version 7 on schedule

10/20/2010 04:53:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Google recently adopted an accelerated release cycle for its Chrome browser, pushing out a new stable release every six weeks. Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 for Windows, Mac, and Linux introduces the majority of Chrome users to features that have been available to beta and developer's build users for several months, as well as fixing hundreds of bugs that affected the browser's stability.



The list of new features that have been added to Chrome 7 stable is a short one. The HTML5 parser has been updated, and the stable branch finally received the HTML5 file application programming interface. This allows Web-based content to read the content of local files. Chrome 7 can also upload complete directories, and Mac OS X users will now see AppleScript support for interface automation. There are new options for managing cookies, too.

A fairly hefty list of serious security bugs were also fixed in Chrome 7 stable. These include one critical-level bug that would crash the browser when using form autofill. Among the four bugs marked "high," one caused crashes with forms, another allowed for possible URL spoofing on page unloading, the third indicated possible memory corruption with animated GIFs, and the fourth involved stale elements in an element map. The Google Chrome changelog is available from the Chrome blog.

Developer Joe Hewitt Tears Into Android’s Definition Of “Open”

10/20/2010 04:52:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

In Silicon Valley, there are few developers more respected than Joe Hewitt — he helped create Firefox, he built the indispensible development tool FireBug, and he was also responsible for both Facebook’s ‘Touch’ mobile website and the first few versions of its incredibly popular native iPhone application (which he’s rumored to have built singlehandedly). And Hewitt, who is still a prominent Facebook employee, isn’t shy about voicing his opinions when it comes to technology.

This evening Hewitt has tweeted an hour-long stream of criticism directed at Google’s definition of “Open” when it comes to Android — a topic that was brought up by Steve Jobs during his tirade against Google during Apple’s earnings call yesterday. Android chief Andy Rubin responded to Jobs with his first tweet, which contained his definition of open: a terminal command that can be used to download the source code of the current version of Android. But Hewitt obviously isn’t satisfied.

Hewitt kicked off his series of tweets with a question: “How does Android get away with the “open” claim when the source isn’t public until major releases, and no one outside Google can check in?”

Miriam Yeung frightened at her fortune "have 3 kids in 2 years"

10/20/2010 04:52:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Miriam Yeung, Raymond Lam and Chrissie Chow's Perfect Wedding held it's premiere the night before. A group of TVB artists attended in support, including Mag Lam, Kate Tsui, Jeanette Leung, and Real Ting made a surprised appearance without his wife Miriam knowing.


Asked how he feels about seeing the kiss scenes between his wife and Raymond Lam? Real embarrassingly said: "Very special, a little strange. She (Miriam) performed very well, very relaxed. She doesn't know I came, perhaps scared to sit next to her, once I see the scene, I would look at her and I won't be able to focus on the movie." Real admitted that he won't go visit the set when his wife is shooting a kiss scene, felt that just watching it in the movie is better. Asked if he has a limit for his wife's performances? He joked: "I think it's better for her to shoot martial arts films instead."

Fung Shui Master Mak Ling Ling said that Miriam will "have 3 kids in 2 years", frightening Miriam as she cried: "Master, how do you know my age?" At the premiere, Miriam also threw the flower bouquet to predict the results in the box office. About her wedding, she reveals that her husband is responsible for everything and joked that she's currently too skinny, worried that she won't be able to push up her breast and won't even be able to push up the bones. However, she won't accept breast enhancement sponsors, she just hopes that her boss can give her a house as a wedding gift. She said: "He needs dowry too when his daughter marries."
