Flash 10.1 ported to iPad, burninates the countryside (video)

7/04/2010 11:35:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Take it with a grain of salt, but it's looking like some prayers have been answered on this Fourth of July -- Flash (or is that "Frash"?) is running on this man's iPad, cleverly ported from Android. The YouTube video claims that by using a compatibility layer, the Android runtime can play Flash content natively in Safari, but only on iPad so far -- iPhone 3GS support is planned soon, as is iOS 4, and there's a call for developers to move the project forward at GitHub. We've no way of determining its legitimacy at this moment, but it sure seems like Comex (he of the iPad "Spirit" jailbreak) has outdone himself this time, and hey, where there's smoke, there's fire, right?

CNN names the ‘South Korea’s 20 hottest male celebs’

Jang DongGun, Bae YongJoon, Joo JinMo, Jo InSung are some of the Korean artistes picked by American CNN as ‘South Korea’s 20 hottest male celebs’.

The list was revealed through an online bulletin board on 2nd July. CNN wrote, “ These specially chosen South Korean celebs, who we’ve selected purely on the basis of how much drool they elicited from the female members of our staff, no doubt have solid acting, modeling and/or singing skills. But it’s their chocolate abs, sublime faces and lean, mean, sex-machine bodies that get them a place on this list.”

Is Taeyang’s ‘I Need A Girl’ MV Plagiarized?

7/04/2010 11:34:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

With many new releases comes something that most stars hope to avoid – rumors of plagiarism. Unfortunately, Taeyang’s solo comeback has been no exception. A few viewers of the MV to ‘I Need A Girl’ recently spotted some scene similarities between the music video and that of another artist, which raised a few questions concerning the originality of ‘I Need A Girl.’


Viewers then posted their observations on a popular Korean site, and made sure to provide screenshots to explain what they meant. The particular scene in question shows Taeyang’s profile view, singing to some lyrics (‘Baby I need you / girl, you need me too’) written to the left of his face. This was then compared to a scene in the music video for Pharrell’s ‘N.E.R.D,’ in which the artist is seen with his own lyrics onscreen as well.

Some speculate that this may be the reason behind why YG Entertainment has been removing all copies of the ‘I Need A Girl’ MV on Youtube lately, while others claim that these accusations of plagiarism are nonsense. Those who hold the latter opinion are saying that YGE only does this because some fans have expressed disappointment towards the video.

Sandra Bullock Named Favorite American, Heidi & Spencer Most Embarrassing

7/04/2010 12:02:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

In the spirit of the Fourth of July holiday, PopEater teamed up with The Insider to ask our audiences who their favorite American is and who they were shamed by. Over 163,000 votes were cast in our two polls. Thanks PopEater faithful!


As it turns out, Sandra Bullock really is America's sweetheart. With 63 percent of over 81,000 votes, Bullock walloped the competition. Oprah came in a distant second with 24 percent of votes.

On the other side, however, are the most embarrassing Americans. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt easily took that crown, garnering 37 percent of over 83,000 votes. The soon-to-be-exes triumphed over the philandering Tiger Woods, who had 33 percent and Jon Gosselin, the troubled father of 8, who placed third with 15 percent.

Lindsay Lohan birthday celebrations continue... with yet another disastrous night out

7/04/2010 12:01:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It may have been her birthday, but luck just wasn't on Lindsay Lohan's side.

For the second night in a row the 24-year-old, out on the town to celebrate, found herself in the midst of a disturbance.

The Mean Girls actress was on her way to celebrity hotspot Beso for a birthday dinner when her black SUV was pulled over by police after it was spotted failing to stop at a stop sign.



It was being driven by Lohan's on-off assistant Eleonore Lieven .

Designated driver Lieven was berated by the police officer and given several citations including 'failure to stop', 'concealed licence plates', and a 'tinted windscreen.'

To make matters worse, Lohan was so late for her own dinner that she decided to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way to the restaurant - leaving her assistant to fend for herself.

An iPhone Lover’s Take On The iPhone 4

7/04/2010 12:01:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


Regular readers will know that recently I’ve liked to state my bias in the title of my mobile device reviews: I love the iPhone. Some will call that being a fanboy, and that’s fine. But really, it’s just my opinion that the iPhone is hands down the best mobile device out there. If there were a better one, I would use it. But there’s not. So I use the iPhone. And that’s the angle I take towards these mobile device reviews. It’s simple: if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Well, one finally has: iPhone 4.

Yeah, if you hate these types of reviews, you’re really going to hate this one.

Before I dive into specifics, I’ll say right away that the iPhone 4 is easily the best mobile device I’ve ever used (notice I didn’t say phone, more on that later). But a lot of you probably already thought you knew I was going to say that. The more interesting question may be: how does it compare to the other iPhones? Or, perhaps even better: is it worth it to upgrade? The short answer is yes.

In my view, iPhone 4 is the biggest leap forward that any iPhone has taken yet over the previous generation. It’s not really any single thing that makes me say that, but it’s the combination of changes to the hardware. The screen is much better. The camera is much better. The video quality is much better. The form factor is much better. The device is faster. It can do more at once (thanks to double the RAM). The battery lasts noticeably longer. And, of course, it has FaceTime.

The entire Steve Jobs email story… It’s real

7/04/2010 12:00:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

Last week, BGR posted a Steve Jobs email exchange in which the CEO told an irate iPhone user to "calm down." Apple said the messages were fake, but BGR is standing by his story, offering the email headers as proof.

The exchange was an unusual one to begin with—Jobs has been brief in the other emails we've seen, but it read a little differently in response to this particular customer, incensed by issues with the iPhone 4 antenna. Shortly after they were posted, a Fortune story cited a "top Apple spokesperson" who "emphatically" denied that Steve Jobs wrote any of the emails.

But in a new post, Boy Genius Report claims that the messages did indeed come from Steve Jobs' personal account, whether the CEO wrote them or not (except for the erroneously attributed "Retire, relax, enjoy your family. It is just a phone. Not worth it," which was written by the angry iPhone guy). BGR posted the full email headers as proof.

BGR is a reliable source with a good track record, and we believe that the headers are, as he says, undoctered. But it's also hard to believe that Apple would lie about Jobs writing the emails, or that they'd insinuate that even if they did come from his personal account, they weren't written by Jobs himself. Then again, Apple's PR team wasn't exactly truthful about the CEO's health condition when that was first reported, either.

Although many were not aware of this change in scheduling (explaining the increase in revenue from July 1 to 2), "Triple Tap" still remained viewers' first choice of movie to watch in theatres as reflected in July 1'st 5 million box office revenue. The following day on July 2, "Triple Tap" continued to persist, earning 8.5 million in revenues at the box office, becoming the cross-China box office champion, and amounting to 13.5 million in box office revenue.

Mystery Nokia slider shows off proto-Symbian^3 one last time, commits cellular suicide (video)

7/04/2010 11:59:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


We never did quite get the name of Nokia's prototype slider -- it certainly isn't the C7, and it's apparently not the N9 -- but regardless of what you call our dearly departed, its journey is over. In what will no doubt be a fairly familiar tale to readers everywhere, TechnoBuffalo saw the phone remotely wiped right before their eyes, and Negri Electronics (our original source) says they've got private investigators breathing down their necks for the device. Stalwart to the bitter end, RM-626 gave one last performance before it dropped. See the 4-inch handset play an embedded YouTube video after the break if you must, but be sure to stop at the 5:45 mark. For true phone lovers, the rest is too painful to watch.
