Apple, It's Time to Delete Safari From the iPhone

1/13/2010 01:06:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments



It took only a few hours: Apple has banned ForChan from iTunes, a perfectly innocent, web-based, dedicated image browser for the iPhone. Its only sin: It could display porn. Well done, Apple. Let's delete Safari now.

ForChan could connect to any image board web page and show pictures. Photos of dogs, cats, birds, food, cars, planes, flowers, scenes of summer, winter, and fall, or anything in between. Anything including boobs and buttocks:

Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu Pit Against Each Other on Weekends. Ella Puts In Her Best, Carrries A Fridge to Climb Stairs!

1/13/2010 01:05:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

With TTV and SET's [Autumn Concerto] gaining wide popularity recently, not only has Xiao Xiao Bin become the most popular child actor, but Vanness Wu's status also rose to be one of Idol Drama's No.1 Male Leads - a changeover from his previous days. During the earlier days of [Meteor Garden], Jerry Yan was the most popular among the male leads; hence, it would be evident soon if he could regain his "Number One" when his idol drama - [Down With Love] makes its debut telecast on 24 January 2010 via CTV and GTV.




In the earlier years when Jerry was the hot favourite among F4, Vanness was more like a supporting role. Recently [AC] clinched the champion spot for viewership in idol dramas telecasted on weekends with its highest rating last week (on 3 January) being 7.76. [AC] is now trailing behind [Fated to Love You]'s rating of 10.91, and has become Taiwan's No.2 idol drama with the highest viewership. With the high viewership, Vanness also rose to greater fame. With the soon-to-telecast [DWL], it seemed that the "battle" between the former "F2" will commence. Will Vanness gets tougher as the competition gets tough, or would Jerry regain his No.1 spot - this attracted many's attention.

How many years does the Xbox 360 have left?

1/13/2010 01:05:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Although the Xbox 360 came out in 2005--just four years after the release of the Xbox--it seems that Microsoft isn't too eager to jump to the Xbox 720 (or whatever it will eventually be called).

Speaking at a briefing at CES over the weekend and originally reported by the Guardian, Microsoft senior director of Xbox product management David Hufford said that not only is Microsoft not rushing to get to the next generation of consoles, but that the Xbox 360 has a lot more time left.

"I think it's important to say that the Xbox 360 is the console of the long future for us," Hufford told those in attendance. "There is no need to launch a new console because we're able to give this console new life either with software upgrades or hardware upgrades like Project Natal. The Xbox 360 was designed for a long life, and I don't even know if we're at the midpoint yet."

It's an interesting take. Prior to Hufford's comments, it was Sony that dominated the talk over a console's lifecycle. Sony's team has said on numerous occasions that the PlayStation 3 is the only console that will stay relevant for 10 years. And although the PS3 is currently trailing the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, Sony contends that when it's all said and done, the PlayStation 3, thanks to its longevity, will win out during this generation.

After releasing a short CF for their latest endorsement, the full MV for f(x) and M.I.C.’s version of “Lollipop” has finally been released!



Although it is a bit strange to hear the girls singing Chinese rather than Korean, the song still has nice ring to it. The song has a fun, addictive beat and the music video definitely captures the vibe. Not to mention the eccentric outfits worn by the girls and their male counterparts.

Next 'Spider-Man' film will be a gritty, contemporary reboot of the franchise

1/13/2010 01:03:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

The next Spider-Man film will be a reboot of the franchise, not a continuation of series Sam Raimi created back in 2002 — in a move similar to Batman Begins restarting the Batman franchise seven years after Batman and Robin underwhelmed fans and critics.

This time around, the series will place Peter Parker in a more contemporary setting, as a teenager battling today’s issues. The decision to go with an origin story stemmed from Sony developing two Spidey projects simultaneously. According to studio insiders, Sony was working on both Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 and the new origin story from James Vanderbilt, who wrote Zodiac. The original plan was to keep the Spider-Man gang together for one last film in 2011 before rebooting the series in 2012. When it became clear that Raimi would not be able to make the summer 2011 release date planned for Spider-Man 4, the studio opted to scrap Spider-Man 4 altogether, and focus solely on the series reboot.

Robert Downey Jr. opts out of 'Cowboys & Aliens' for 'Sherlock Holmes sequel'

1/13/2010 01:02:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Robert Downey Jr. has dropped out of Cowboys & Aliens, the Dreamworks/Universal sci-fi project that would have reunited the actor with his Iron Man director Jon Favreau. The news was first reported by the Los Angeles Times but only speculated on why Downey had left the project, which pits Old West cowboys and indians against a group of aliens with superior technology.

Now, a source inside the production tells EW that the star has a scheduling conflict with a Sherlock Holmes sequel. That film has not yet been greenlit by Warner Bros., but it is being fast-tracked based on the success of the first film. (Sherlock’s worldwide gross is fast approaching $300 million.) Warner Bros. commissioned a script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney back in September and is now locking down the cast for a June start date, exactly the time when Cowboys & Aliens is set to begin principal photography. Producers behind Cowboys & Aliens are sticking with original plans and are now looking for a new lead to play cowboy Zeke Jackson, the hero of the 2006 graphic novel from Platinum Studios.

Jude Law to Propose to Sienna Miller?

1/13/2010 01:02:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

JUDE Law is set to propose to Sienna Miller.

The Alfie actor — who first got engaged to Factory Girl star Sienna in 2004 — has rekindled his romance with the actress in recent months and is now ready to make her his fiancee again.

“Sienna was always the one,” a source said. “And now she is back in his life he never wants to let her go again.

“Jude did some serious thinking over Christmas in Britain with his ex-wife Sadie Frost and the kids. And he realizes just how important family life is to him.

“He needs a good woman to look after him. Sienna’s fed up of the single life and wants to be with Jude for good.”

Sienna’s family are believed to be preparing themselves for a big announcement in the coming weeks.

“It’s only a matter of time before Jude pops the question,” the source added. “He and Sienna have never been happier together.”

BlackBerry Curve 8910 shows up in leaked photo

1/13/2010 01:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Yesterday, I was telling you about the BlackBerry 8910, which might come to replace the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (introduced by RIM in late 2008).



Well, it looks like the 8910 is indeed the successor of 8900, as a leaked photo of it has just appeared over at BerryReview.

As expected, the new and unannounced BlackBerry Curve 8910 has an optical trackpad instead of RIM’s traditional trackball. The smartphone also has a QWERTY keypad similar to the one the 8900 has, and it apparently runs BlackBerry OS 5.0.4. We don’t know much about the other features of the Curve 8910, but they probably include Wi-Fi, GPS and a 3.2MP camera.

Could the Wrong Price Flatten Apple's Tablet?

1/13/2010 01:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Expectations for an Apple tablet can't get much higher, and when and if Apple reveals one, it'll no doubt be an intriguing bundle of hardware and software. However, as we know them now, tablets represent a not-so-necessary missing link between smartphone and computer. Will Apple be able to convince us that we need yet another mobile gadget, or will its price put this mythical "iPod slate" out of reach?

As the Apple tablet rumor frenzy blows way past the level of a fever pitch, I'm starting to reconcile myself with the notion that we may -- within a few weeks -- finally hear from Apple. The company is widely expected to make a public announcement Jan. 27 or so, though again, the expectation isn't due to Apple, it's due to a report stating the company has rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

Want to Play the US Version of Final Fantasy XIII Early?

1/13/2010 01:01:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Hop on the bus, Gus, and if you happen to live in San Francisco, you've got a shot at playing the US version of Final Fantasy XIII three months early. Square Enix's latest fashion fantasy game (i.e. FFG...see what I did there?) isn't due to ship in the States until March 9, 2010.

The press release claims to preview 'the North American' version, but I'd be surprised (not unpleasantly) if it's really full and final. My understanding was that the the US version--which unlike the PS3-exclusive Japanese release will ship here in both PS3 and Xbox 360 flavors--is still very much in process. That's practically confirmed by the tour's description of what you'll have access to as "never-before-seen demo areas." We're probably talking placeholder or currently finished English dubs (or subs) then.

Scoop! Our heroes still don't do laundry. Get used to those duds, because you'll be seeing a lot of them.
