iPad online use approaches Android, BlackBerry

Tiny usage share -- just 3 out of every 10,000 online devices -- but closes in on well-established mobile rivals


In its first 10 days, Apple's iPad has captured almost as much online usage share as the BlackBerry or Google's Android operating system, a Web metrics firm said today.

According to data from Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based NetApplications.com, the iPad's share has averaged 0.03% since April 3, the day Apple started selling the media tablet. Although that number is puny compared to the major operating systems -- Windows XP, for example, accounts for 64.5% of the total market -- it's within striking distance of longer-available rivals.

Google’s Plan To Give Chrome OS (And All Web-Enabled Devices) Universal Printer Support

Google’s Chrome OS is due to come out some time this year, and there are still plenty of questions about how people are going to use a computer that’s based entirely in the browser. One question that came up when the OS was first announced: how are people going to print from this thing? Google has just spelled out its solution on the Chromium Blog: The Cloud.

Google has announced a new project called Google Cloud Print which is setting out to “build a printing experience that enables any app (web, desktop, or mobile) on any device to print to any printer anywhere in the world.” In short, your computer or device will tell Cloud Print what it wants printed, and Cloud Print will then send the appropriate instructions to your printer. No printer drivers necessary.

Google is providing some initial documentation on the project here. The site says that any application, be it native or web based, will be able to use Cloud Print through APIs (which will allow you to submit print jobs and also check job status). There’s going to be a standard ‘web UI’ print dialog for interacting with the service from an application.

Of course, there’s still one big problem: getting Google Cloud Print to actually talk to your printer. Google has two solutions to this. In the long term, it is proposing that the industry adopt new open standards around cloud printing, and that manufacturers build new printer models to be ‘cloud aware’. In other words, the printer is connected to the web and includes software that knows how to communicate with Google’s servers.

Courtney Love Shoots Down Robert Pattinson Casting Rumor as "Stupid"

He hasn't given an interview or done much press in awhile, but Robert Pattinson is at the center of two new rumors.

The first is clearly ridiculous: sorry, Gossip Girl fans, but the Twilight Saga star did NOT hook up with Leighton Meester.

As for talk that Pattinson was Courtney Love's first choice to play Kurt Cobain in a movie about the late rocker, the former Hole singer has halted this casting possibility in its track.

"Isn't that so stupid, who would cast him? That's just wrong, no offense [to Pattinson]," Love told The Canadian Press. "I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenage girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn't that silly?"

Love added that she'll never watch any biopic about Cobain because it would be too painful, but she did list a couple actors she could see in the role: James McAvoy and Ryan Gosling.

Steven Seagal Made Jenny McCarthy Cry, Told Her to Strip at Audition

A bundle of sexual assault allegations against Steven Seagal are revealing what may be a long-term pattern of inappropriateness. CBS Crimesider has dug up a 1998 interview with Jenny McCarthy -- who says that during a casting call for 'Under Siege 2,' she was asked to strip and threatened not to tell anyone.

"I go inside Seagal's office, and he's by himself and says, 'Sit on my couch," McCarthy told Movieline magazine in '98. "Then he said, 'Take off your dress.' I just started crying and said, 'Rent my Playboy video, you a*****e!' and ran out to the car."

CBS also reports in 1998, nine women told Penthouse magazine about their experiences of Seagal sexually harassing them. Yikes.

News recently broke that Seagal's reality series, 'Steven Seagal Lawman,' will be shelved as a result of the scandal.

Nokia N8 delayed, possibly coming to O2 UK. Nokia X5 gets mentioned

According to GSM Arena, Nokia initially planned to unveil the new Nseries handset in May. However, for some unknown reasons, the launch date has been pushed back to mid-July. Since Nokia N8 should run Symbian^3, this might have something do to with the fact that the new OS is not yet ready to hit the market.

Erika Sawajiri continues comeback with glossy magazine spread

Actress Erika Sawajiri, 24, is continuing her comeback in Japan’s entertainment world by appearing on the cover of the May issue of GLAMOROUS to mark the 5th anniversary of the magazine.

In a glossy 24-page inside spread, Sawajiri speaks candidly about her attitude toward the media and rumors of her drug use.

Sawajiri, once wildly popular, fell out of favor in 2007 due to problematic behavior. In a well-publicized incident, she was rude to people around her during a film promotion event, an incident which discouraged the industry from hiring her.

Sawajiri took a leave of absence from her former production company, Oscar Promotions, for eight months beginning in January 2009 after getting married. She said she wanted to study abroad in London.

Shortly after, rumors started circulating that Sawajiri may have been experimenting with drugs. Oscar Promotions dropped her last September for reasons that remain unclear. She then showed up in Spain.
