Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Spa Day with the Kids

10/25/2010 10:13:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

What to do on a rainy day in Budapest with two young kids?

For Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the answer was an afternoon filled with history, relaxation and a fast food break.

Taking Sunday off from shooting her directorial debut in Hungary, Jolie, 35, joined Pitt, 46, for some special time with kids Zahara, 5, and Pax, 6. (The couple's other four children were elsewhere.)

First stop: the city's historic Lukács Gyógyfürdo, an indoor-outdoor thermal bath facility famed for its healing properties since the 12th century. In addition to the thermal baths, the facility also offers modernized swimming pools, spa treatments and saunas.

"Pax was definitely for it," says one eyewitness. "He came out laughing, and his hair was still wet when they were leaving."

Future LG Android phone for Verizon sports LTE

10/25/2010 10:13:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


We were just handed this image with very little detail other than the fact that we're looking at "a future LG high end Android phone for Verizon," but we can deduce a few things: one, and perhaps most notably, you can just barely make out an LTE logo toward the bottom of the back. That likely makes this one of the six-odd LTE phones Verizon has publicly said are slated for the first half of next year. Secondly, it's got an HD camera of some sort -- probably indicating either 720p or 1080p capture -- and finally, it appears to have a huge, mirrored display and possibly a front-facing cam in the upper right. Looks like there's also a WiFi logo on back (of course), but can anyone make out the other two logos there? And more importantly, can anyone wait for this to launch?

Update: It's been proposed that one of the logos might be for DLNA, since LG's a major DLNA player -- most recently with its PlayTo service on the LG Optimus 7.

$41.5 Mil 'Paranormal' Scares 'Jackass' From No. 1 at Weekend Box Office

10/25/2010 01:45:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Paramount took a chance on poltergeists and pranksters and ended up ruling the weekend box office.

Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2 had a spooky-good weekend, topping the domestic box office with an estimated $41.5 million in the best debut ever by a horror film.

The tally was at least a third better than prophesized for the haunted-house prequel and beat its franchise predecessor's bow running away. But it was never really a contest, due to the fright pics' vastly different release strategies.

Paranormal Activity opened in September 2009 with $77,873 from just 12 theaters, part of a low-profile launch prior to the micro-budgeted original's wide expansion. A year ago this past weekend, Paranormal topped domestic rankings with a $21 million session en route to an eventual $107.9 million domestic haul.

Kanye West, Rapper and Director, Premieres His Fiery 'Runaway' Video

10/25/2010 01:44:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Call it a short film or a long video, Kanye West is now a director.

Flames, feathers, and some fancy footwork by ballerinas stand out in the new, 34-minute clip conceived by the controversial rapper.

'Runaway' is essentially a mashup of two classic tales: Phoenix rising, and 'Pygmalion' (in which a wealthy benefactor helps make over, then falls in love with, a girl looked down upon by society).

Of the romance in the video, West recently told MTV News that previous relationships inspired him: "I wanted every girl I ever been in a relationship with to feel like a piece of her was being represented."

Selita Ebanks (pictured with her director earlier this month in Paris) plays a voluptuous woman-bird rescued from a fire by West. Under his watchful eye, she crawls among his menagerie of backyard pets, until he brings her indoors and inspires her to dance to his hypnotic beats, coaches her to drink from teacups, takes her to a surreal parade and introduces her to haughty pals at a dinner party.

But she's unhappy in "his world," and a feathery, sensual encounter between them ends with (spoiler alert! subtlety alert!) an explosion.

Microsoft says Windows 8 roughly two years away

10/25/2010 01:44:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

In its most concrete comments yet about the next version of Windows, Microsoft said in a blog post on its Dutch Web site that Windows 8 is about two years from hitting the market.

Microsoft is working on the next version of Windows, the blog says in Dutch, but it will be about two years before Windows 8 is on the market.



The comments, noted earlier Sunday by Winrumors.com, came at the end of a post celebrating Windows 7's first birthday. Microsoft also posted about that milestone on its U.S. Web site this week but made no mention of the timing of Windows 8.

A Microsoft representative, reached on Sunday morning, declined to comment or elaborate on the blog posting.

Indeed, Microsoft executives from Windows unit President Steven Sinofsky on down have been hesitant to say anything about the company's future Windows plans. While the desktop team has been quiet, Microsoft's server team did say last year that a major release of Windows Server was due in 2012 and server versions typically slightly lag a desktop release.

Just Because Google Exists Doesn’t Mean You Should Stop Asking People Things

10/25/2010 01:44:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

If you spend any amount of time online you’re probably very familiar with the above website, “Let Me Google That For You.” LMGTFY is a super smug and hilarious site built for those sick of “all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves.“


As all of us know, it is super annoying when your co-worker or worse boss sends you an email (!) asking an easily google-able question, therefore making you google the answer to send back and wasting your and their precious time. Granted.

The issue is, just like cell phones have made it easier to forget phone numbers, “google” as verb is now a replacement for the word and action “think.” The search engine has become such a stand-in repository for human knowledge that it has, among other things, compromised the entire genre of games based on trivia.
