Google Wants to Test Gigabit Fiber Internet For Up To 500,000 People


Since Google wants to control all forms of communication, the logical next step is being not just what you do on the internet, but how you access the internet as well. To do that, they'll deploy 1Gbps fiber to you.

The company is going to test this super high speed internet to "a small number of trial locations across the United States," and give somewhere between 50k to 500k people an amazingly fast pipe. What's the point of this?

ASUS G73JH-X1 gaming laptop hits the US

Asus surprised everyone at CES with, not another small Eee, but a honking 8lb, 17-inch laptop with stealth bomber envy, called the G73. Now, out of nowhere again, the laptop has gone on sale in the US.


There's only one configuration of the G73 available now—the G73JH-X1. Specs include:

• ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB graphics

ASUS “killer product” in June says CEO: Tegra 2 tablet to launch?

ASUS delivered quite a few interesting devices at CES 2010, but according to chairman Jonney Shih we’ll need to wait until June for their “killer product”. The teasing exec mentioned the upcoming device while confirming that ASUS have decided to spin out the manufacturing firm Pegatron as a separate firm; unfortunately he gave no further indication of exactly what that device might be.



The most obvious suggestion is that Shih is referring to the ASUS Eee Pad tablet, discretely shown at CES 2010 as part of NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 display. Rumors following the show suggested a June launch date, Pegatron manufacturing and a sub-$500 price tag.

Windows Mobile 7 to offer free navigation, while Windows Mobile 6.x becomes free?

Ready for another round of rumors about Windows Mobile 7?


Well, here it is: MS Mobiles has it that WM 7 will feature free navigation – like Nokia’s new Symbian phones, and Android 2.0 (actually, Android 2.0 offers free navigation only for the US at the moment, while Nokia’s offering is available world-wide).

Reportedly, this is not just a rumor, it’s “pure information” – although, of course, no info should be taken as being factual until it’s officially confirmed.

MS Mobiles also repeats what we’ve previously heard: Windows Mobile 7 will feature Zune, Xbox and Bing integration, as well as a new UI.

Acer E110 with Android and Acer P300 with Windows Mobile unveiled

Details of two new Acer smartphones have emerged, courtesy of the Bluetooth SIG. The handsets – the Acer E110, running Android, and the Acer P300, running Windows Mobile – both have touchscreens, quadband GSM and UMTS/HSDPA, with the E110 seemingly confirmed in both 900/2100MHz and 850/1900MHz versions suggesting US AT&T availability.



Each smartphone also has Bluetooth (with A2DP support), while the Bluetooth SIG go on to confirm that the E110 has GPS and AGPS.

Those features aren’t mentioned for the P300, but that gets specified with USB 2.0 and WiFi b/g. We’re assuming both have cameras, but there’s no mention of megapixels, autofocus or flash; after all, the Bluetooth SIG is really just interested in Bluetooth, so we’re lucky to get whatever scraps they give us.

Cecilia Yip's husband out hugging & kissing another girl while Cecilia working in Mainland

Cecilia Yip and her husband Chan Kwok Hei (CKH) have been married for 21 years. Although her husband has once been photographed kissing Anya and Anita Mui's manager (Wong Man Wai) on the streets, Cecilia still publicly announced her support for her husband, they had always been a loving couple. However, a few days ago the Media discovered that Chan Kwok Hei was again hugging a girl approximately in her mid-30s at the shopping centers in Central. Making sure no one was around, CKH then started brushing the girl's back and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Although Cecilia and her husband had always been seen as a loving couple, CKH is often spotted with other women at nightclubs while his wife is in Mainland working. He was once spotted with Taiwan actress Anya and Anita Mui's manager Wong Man Wai with their ten fingers interlocked on the streets kissing and hugging. However, Cecilia would always defend her husband saying that they will not let gossips affect their relationship.

New S.H.E track “Only to Fall for You” marks first song for group in 2010

If it seemed like it’s been eons since Taiwan’s biggest female export S.H.E has released an album, you wouldn’t be that far off. Not since the autumn of 2008 has the girl group featuring the trio of Selina, Hebe, and Ella released a studio album, so it’s no surprise that fans of Mandopop’s most famous girl group are highly anxious for a 2010 album release. “But wait!”, some of you might say. “Didn’t S.H.E release their ‘Map of Love’ album back in summer of 2009?” To which I shall reply by saying that doesn’t count, since it’s an internet album that only had two new songs. Two good songs, yes, but still only two.

Therefore, when news came out earlier this winter that Ella would be in a new idol drama, S.H.E fans rejoiced. Not just because they get to see S.H.E’s tomboy member star once again since 2006 drama “Hana Kimi”, but because a S.H.E member in an idol drama guarantees a new S.H.E song as well. The latest song, “Only to Fall for You”, has already been making rounds around the web after its debut in Ella’s latest drama “Down with Love”. But since people might have not seen that drama yet (*cough*"Autumn’s Concerto"*cough*), now seemed like a good idea to introduce S.H.E’s newest song of 2010.

Lady GaGa to Team up With Britney Spears?

LADY GaGa is set to work with Britney Spears.


The Bad Romance hitmaker — who has previously collaborated with Beyonce, the Pet Shop Boys and Sir Elton John — is set to hook up with the Toxic singer after some nifty matchmaking from her dad!

GaGa took her father, Joseph, along as a guest when she attended the Grammy Awards recently.

When Joseph saw Spears at one of the bash’s aftershow parties, he apparently told the pop princess his superstar daughter is a huge fan and would love to record a duet with her.

“GaGa has made no secret of just how much of a Britney fan she is,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

Rihanna Weird All Over in New Track “Rude Boy” & Video Sneak

Rihanna's new video is going to be something.

There is a zebra involved, as well as her wearing something resembling a cheesecloth suit made of gold and a leopard print cap. Pretty standard fare.


Donning outrageous fashion only Lady Gaga could compete with, Rihanna appears below in some pics from her upcoming music video for “Rude Boy."

The 21-year-old beauty from Barbados says "a lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough,” but this one is more along the lines of her roots.

Those be some crazy roots ...
