ABC cancels 'The Whole Truth'

10/26/2010 11:21:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

Despite buzz that ABC was giving The Whole Truth one more week to prove itself, the network has gone and canceled the low-rated legal drama. The news was confirmed on Twitter by co-executive producer KristieAnne Reed.

“ABC gave us the word,” she tweeted. “We will only make 13 episodes of The Whole Truth.”

It’s unclear how many of Truth‘s remaining unaired episodes will see the light of day; an original episode is still scheduled to air on Wednesday.

Earlier today, ABC extended full-season orders to fellow rookies No Ordinary Family and Better With You.

BlackBerry PlayBook demoed live at Adobe MAX

Following news that RIM made an initial build of its QNX-based OS simulator available for Windows and Mac, company Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis demoed RIM’s tablet live for the first time this morning at the Adobe MAX show. When RIM announced its upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook tablet last month, the company chose not to demo the device (because it didn’t have any working prototypes on hand) and caught a good amount of criticism as a result. Following the ordeal, we imagine prepping a live demo became a priority and today, RIM can finally check that milestone off its list. Hit the break for a video of the PlayBook being demoed on the big screen at Adobe MAX and let us know what you think.

Diablo III Beta Testing: Yes, Finally, For Real, at BlizzCon

10/26/2010 11:20:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Blizzcon attendees were given some undeniably exciting news: from amongst them, 1,000 would be chosen to receive Beta Keys to Diablo 3. Those of you like me who’ve been waiting to hear that news for years and years (and years,) oh my goodness the excitement burns in the heart. Diablo 2 was (and yes, still is) played by thousands, being one of the games to pave the way for such games as World of Warcraft, a game that’s estimated to hold over 60% of the market share for MMORPG games in the world.



The news of this excellent pre-cursor to the actual release of the game came amidst Tenacious D performing the closing act at BlizzCon 2010. Also released during the convention was the final character class: the Deamon Hunter. Sassy! Powerful! Wonderful!

Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac moves to public beta

10/26/2010 11:20:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


That didn't take long, did it? The promised beta of Windows Phone 7's Mac-friendly companion app is now available, bringing basic media sync capability -- notably with iTunes and iPhoto integration -- to that shiny new Microsoft-powered phone of yours. In fact, Microsoft delivered the client so fast that it beat every single American WP7 device to market -- so AT&T and T-Mobile folks, you can rest easy knowing that you'll be Mac-compatible from day one. Notably, the so-called Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac lacks any Zune functionality; Microsoft has never written a true Zune client for Mac, unfortunately, but at least this is a critical first step that makes these things usable for Mac owners that aren't tied to the iPhone. Let us know how the app treats you in comments, alright?

Adobe confirms Flash Player 10.1 is coming to BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7 and more

10/26/2010 11:19:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments

We've already known that Adobe would be bringing Flash Player 10.1 to Windows Phone 7, but the company has just now made that fully official at its currently-happening MAX conference (alongside its Air 2.5 announcement), and it's also confirmed exactly which other mobile platforms the plug-in will be headed to. That includes WebOS 2.0, which we've already seen first hand, along with BlackBerry OS, Symbian, MeeGo and, last but not least, the LiMo platform -- those will all of course join Android 2.2, which already supports the plug-in. Unfortunately, there's still no timeline for a release on each platform, with Adobe only saying that that Flash 10.1 is "expected" to hit each mobile OS. Head on for the relevant snippet from Adobe's press release.

Flash Player 10.1

Already one of the top free apps on Android Market, with more than 50,000 users giving it a 4.5-out-of-5 star rating, Flash Player 10.1 brings rich Flash based content to mobile devices inside the browser. The runtime is now certified on close to a dozen Android devices and will become available on dozens more over the coming weeks and months. Adobe also announced that Flash Player 10.1 was downloaded more than 2 million times from Android Market. In addition to Android Market, the runtime is distributed directly by device manufacturers and operators via pre-installs and operating system upgrades. Flash Player 10.1 is available on Android and Google TV today, with BlackBerry platform, HP webOS 2.0, future versions of Windows® Phone, LiMo, MeeGo, and Symbian OS also expected to support Flash Player 10.1. For a list of devices supported today, visit Adobe Flash Player 10.1 certified devices.

Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal Share a 'Friendly' Brunch in Brooklyn

10/26/2010 02:23:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal spent the weekend laughing, eating and strolling together in New York City.

First, the two attended the broadcast of Saturday Night Live in Manhattan, which was hosted by Swift's good friend, Emma Stone.

"They showed up together," a source tells PEOPLE. "They walked around together backstage, but they were careful not to be seen too close. It was hard to tell if they were together, but everyone was shocked that she brought him."

On Sunday, Swift, 20 and Gyllenhaal, 29, brunched with another couple in Brooklyn and, says an onlooker, looked "friendly." They were also spotted together strolling around Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood.

While reps for the two stars had no comment about their relationship, the Prince of Persia star might be just Swift's type.

Asked what she looks for in a man, the singer, who will release her new album Speak Now on Tuesday, recently told PEOPLE, "Right now the most attractive quality in a guy is a sense of adventure and romance. I'd love to meet someone who would do thoughtful things throughout the relationship to remind me that he was listening to me, knows me and wants to surprise me."

What else? "Someone who does little things, just sweet little gestures," she says, "that's what I'd wish for in a guy."

And, says Swift, she's ready to put herself out there to find the right one.

"I love going on dates and getting to know people," the singer also says. "For me, love is something I occasionally make an exception for if it feels right. I don't search it out. I just think that if I'm supposed to meet someone, I will."

Google reach 100,000 apps in Android Market

10/26/2010 02:23:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments



Congratulations, Android fans — you now have a whopping 100,000 apps to choose from in the Android Market. The 100k milestone means Google is gaining ground on Apple’s App Store, which is now approaching 300,000 apps. Of course sheer volume isn’t the whole story when it comes to mobile app markets, and many would agree that Android and iOS share roughly the same garbage-to-gold ratio when it comes to available apps. Google has yet to formally announce this milestone through standard channels, though the company has confirmed the accomplishment via its AndroidDev Twitter account.
