9/29/2010 07:49:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Hey readers, We officially present Gonas! Or maybe... Jeene? Does Jashley work for anyone?

While Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas must work on a couple's nickname, they don't need to worry about being adorable together. That task is already accomplished, as evidenced by the first photos of the pair out, about, and holding hands!


As seen above, Ashley and Joe strolled down a street in Los Angeles yesterday, picking up items for a a birthday party in honor of the latter's brother, Frankie.

Reports of this relationship first surfaced in July, with sources recently saying the pair spent a weekend in Florida meeting Greene's parents. Sounds serious, huh?

No wonder Ashley looked so happy in Paris, splashing around and filming a movie with Miley Cyrus. She had a cutie waiting for her at home! We wish this couple nothing but the best.

Nintendo 3DS Mii Studio, Super Street Fighter IV 3D & more get video demos

9/29/2010 07:49:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

More details on the Nintendo 3DS are filtering out after the company’s 2010 conference, and while the headline is obviously the confirmed Japanese price and release date there are also some tidbits about functionality. An official demo video shows the integrated Mii Studio app and how it can use the 3DS’ external cameras to take a snapshot of you – or your grinning father – and then create a Mii from that photo.



Meanwhile other confirmed functionality includes the auto-exchanging of information whenever two 3DS units are nearby each other. When the 3DS is in tag mode, it will automatically work out when the two gamers first met, the total number of times it has happened since then, and what game was played on the last occasion. Of course there’s also the active WiFi during the 3DS’ sleep mode, which is used to download rankings and free software.

Finally, Nintendo also showed off some gaming demos (grabbed by Nintendo3DSBlog) including Super Street Fighter IV 3D, Mario Kart and Paper Mario, along with some of the Resident Evil titles and more. You can see them below.

'Star Wars' movies to be rereleased in 3-D, Lucasfilm announces

9/29/2010 07:49:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

The Star Wars saga is about to get a lot more dimensional. Lucasfilm announced Tuesday that all six Star Wars movies will return to theaters in 3-D, according to Variety. The first film to hit screens will be Episode I: The Phantom Menace — it’ll be released wide sometime in 2012. The movies’ 3-D conversion is being handled by outside vendors and will be overseen by Industrial Light & Magic visual effects supervisor John Knoll. “It’s not going to look like [conversions] we’ve seen in the past,” Knoll told Variety. Stereoscopic conversion has been a sticky subject of late, especially after the much-criticized last-minute conversions of movies like Clash of the Titans and The Last Airbender.

Knoll also said that George Lucas isn’t planning to further “enhance” any of the visual effects this time around. When the original trilogy was rereleased in 1997, Lucas altered several scenes and tinkered with many of the effects — much to many fans’ dismay.

Good news, folks. It's looking like the tablet pool will be enriched with another 7-inch contender, running Android, within only a few weeks. The Wall Street Journal cites Dell's Greater China President Amit Midha as saying that the 7-inch slate we witnessed Michael teasing a few short days ago will be with us "very, very soon." Reiterating earlier promises of a family of tablets, Midha claims there'll be "a whole slew" of new devices emerging from Dell's labs over the next 6 to 12 months, which will include 10-inch, 4-inch and 3-inch form factors. Android is confirmed as the OS on the 7-incher, but Windows will be making an appearance somewhere along the line as well. Plenty to look forward to, then.

Hebe Tien of pop trio S.H.E. opened up about her first romance during an appearance on a Taiwan television show on Tuesday, saying she regretted it a little.

Describing her former boyfriend as a good person, the singer, who recently embarked on a solo career, said she broke up with her first love because they felt too much like an old couple.

Even with one of her group mates Selina Jen getting engaged recently, Tien said she is in no hurry to marry and plans to do so in about ten years time. At the same time, the 27-year-old singer, revealed that she would have no qualms about ditching S.H.E mates Jen and Ella Chen to get hitched when the time comes.

"I believe they will take very good care of themselves," said Tien, adding that she would love to have lots of children "if my [body] can handle it".

During the show, she also let on that she is close friends with both Jen and Chen, but will choose to save Chen over Jen when faced with a dire situation.

According to Tien, Chen is caring and would reciprocate, but Selina wouldn't.

"If there is a glass of water, and both I and Selina are thirsty, she would definitely just drink it," mused Tien.

Apple’s iPhone 4 China debut, 100,000 units in four days

9/29/2010 07:48:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Vice President of China Unicom, Li Gang, told reporters that his company has completely sold through their first shipment of iPhone 4s. The shipment, which totaled 100,000 units, took just four days to sell out. The Chinese mobile operator also reported that over 200,000 customers have pre-ordered the device; the company has since stopped taking online reservations due to the demand. When the iPhone 3G and 3GS launched, it took one month for China Unicom to sell 100,000 devices. Analyst Liu Liang credited a record number of Chinese mobile users adopting smartphones, as well as positive media attention around the iPhone 4, as possible reasons for the strong sales numbers. China Unicom is expected to get their next shipment of iPhone 4s around October 1.

Nintendo has confirmed launch dates and pricing for their 3DS gaming handheld, with the 3D-capable console dropping in Japan on February 26th 2011. Priced at 25,000 yen ($299) it will be available in blue or black, but curiously there’s no mention of the red version shown here.



In the box will be the 3DS itself, a charger stand and AC adapter, a 3DS stylus, a 2GB SD memory card and the various manuals. There’ll also be six AR cards, which are described (by the translated press release) as “paper cards you can play with the camera”; we’re guessing they’re AR glyphs as we’ve seen other augmented reality applications use.

Rihanna “Loud” Album Cover Art Revealed

9/29/2010 12:47:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Bajan Mockingbird Rihanna is sitting pretty (Ronald McDonald-red weave and all) for the official cover to her forthcoming fifth studio album Loud, debuting Nov. 16.


The dance and pop-infused disc is flanked by the singles “What’s My Name?” and the Stargate-penned and produced “Only Girl (In the World).” The latter is currently No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Alex Da Kid — the producer/songwriter behind Eminem’s current No. 1 “Love the Way You Lie,” which features Ri-Ri — confessed that the material that makes up Rihanna’s Loud is “like a mixture of her two sides. It’s commercial, but at the same time it’s got an edge to it — it has substance.”

Google: We're too sexy for your search

9/29/2010 12:46:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

In the future, run-of-the-mill search ads just won't cut it at Google.

Representatives from Google's display advertising team made a slick pitch to Madison Avenue this afternoon at the Interactive Advertising Bureau's annual MIXX conference, insisting that the short- and long-term strategy at the Mountain View, Calif., powerhouse will be to make display ads as crucial to its business as the search advertisements that propelled it to billion-dollar revenues.

Display advertising is "really front and center" to Google's current product strategy, Vice President of Product Management Neal Mohan explained to the audience, taking the stage alongside Barry Salzman, Google's managing director of media and platforms for the Americas. The two characterized the buzzwords for display ads at Google as "sexy" and "smart"--an attempt to counter the wilting perception of traditional banner ads, which Salzman said "took some of that sexy away."
