Android 2.x now accounts for 83 percent of all active Googlephones

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


We're not totally sure that Android 2.1 users will be happy to be bundled in with 2.2 consumers -- after all, there's plenty in Froyo that's not available on Eclair -- but the fact remains that a cool 83 percent of actively used Android phones right now run one of the two latest iterations. A reminder is merited to say that by "active" we mean those that accessed the Android Market over the foregoing two weeks -- which might have a slight bias toward over-representing the newer phones with folks either abandoning their Cupcake and Donut handsets or simply not searching for new apps for them. Either way, we reckon it's good to see such nice big slices taken up by Android's most advanced versions, it seems almost a shame that Gingerbread's arrival will soon disrupt things all over again. For now, we're off to our delicatessen, all this food talk's given us the munchies.

Eric Tsang tells Raymond Lam to work bottom-up "give up on the rich boy infatuated roles"

12/02/2010 04:01:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , , , , , 0 Comments

Shaw Brothers Lunar New Year film I Love HK Live Happily held the blessing ceremony yesterday. The cast including Eric Tsang, Sandra Ng, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Fala Chen, Aarif Lee, Fung Shui Fan, Joyce Cheng and many more attended. TVB Production Resource Director Virgina Lok attended and Shaw Brothers Executive Lawrence Wong Ka Hei attended. Earlier Lawrence criticized Virgina Lok's favourite Raymond Lam that he has not got a firm standing in the film scene yet that the film The Jade and The Pearl did so poorly in the box office. This time, Lawrence refused to talk about the "Raymond Lam issue", he said that he does not want to make the issue big. Asked if his position has changed? Lawrence appeared embarrassed and did not know how to respond. Besides him was TVB Foreign Affairs Director, Tsang Sing Ming answered for him.

I Love HK is a film with nearly 100 TVB artist guest stars on the list, except for Raymond Lam. Is it because Raymond's films didn't do well in box office that they are afraid this film may be affected? Producer and cast member Eric Tsang denied, he said could possibly have Raymond too because there are 12 days of filming, whoever has free time can come guest star. Towards Lawrence Wong's criticism on Raymond's standing in the film scene? Eric said: Every one has a box office, he has a group of people watching him, could happen when the film suits him. I have full of confidence on him." Then what roles suit Raymond? He said: "A lot of super stars started off as a bad boy, low level roles, he should give up on rich boy and infatuated man roles, start from the bottom and work up to the top."

Taylor Swift goes it alone at CMTs as new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal keeps a low profile

12/02/2010 10:46:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

She may have a handsome new actor boyfriend, but Taylor Swift doesn't need a man on her arm to feel confident on the red carpet.

The 20-year-old country singer struck a confident pose, hand on hip, in her black sequinned dress as she arrived alone to film the CMT Artists Of The Year show in Nashville last night.


Noticeably absent was her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, from whom she has rarely been apart in recent weeks.

But it's perhaps no surprise that Gyllenhaal, 29, decided not to join his new girlfriend at the event.

The couple have gone to great lengths to keep their relationship clandestine, spending a month quietly enjoying getaways to London, New York, and Swift's home in Nashville.

Celebs Love Jennifer Aniston, So Why Doesn't America?

12/02/2010 10:44:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Notoriously acerbic comedienne Chelsea Handler went on vacation in Mexico with buddy Jennifer Aniston over Thanksgiving and, despite her famously sharp tongue, had nothing but nice things to say about the actress. Handler, who appeared on last night's episode of 'The Tonight Show,' told host Jay Leno of their trip, "[Jennifer] was sweet enough to take me on vacation with her ... I was trying not to get photographed next to her, for obvious reasons."

Handler isn't the only celebrity to praise Aniston in the press. 'The Bounty Hunter' co-star and rumored flame Gerard Butler told Us Magazine of the actress, "She's like my best buddy. She's so down-to-earth, so easy going. She's incredibly self-deprecating and again, just alive!"

While it seems that Aniston has some Hollywood heavyweights in her corner, she can't seem to shake the negative press she earned for her most famous role: the former Mrs. Brad Pitt. Although it's been over five years since Aniston and Pitt divorced, rarely a week goes by without the actress's rumored romantic entanglements appearing in the press, often painting a less-than-flattering portrait of Aniston as some kind of down-and-out spinster.

Despite her fame, fortune and reputation as a genuinely nice person, it seems as though many media outlets aren't ready to let Aniston step out of the shadow of her former relationship or that of Pitt and current partner, Angelina Jolie.

Amazon Web Services takes down Wikileaks; It's in the terms of service

12/02/2010 10:44:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Amazon Web Services has stopped hosting Wikileaks, according to various reports.

Fox News and Talking Points Memo both quote Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) as saying that Amazon has stopped hosting Wikileaks after staffers from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee asked about its relationship with the company.

We have calls out to confirm with Amazon.

The news shouldn’t be all that surprising. For starters, Amazon Web Services has bigger corporate fish to land that could be jeopardize by messing around with Wikileaks. And it certainly doesn’t help matters that Amazon Web Services hosts the high-profile Apps.gov.

How did Amazon get pulled into the Wikileaks flap? For starters, Amazon’s cloud hosting service is self-serve. You just need a credit card. It’s not like Wikileaks called a salesperson who would have freaked out or at least run the contract by a manager.

In any case, Amazon states clearly in its terms of service that it can host you as well as terminate an agreement at will. In the terms of service for Amazon Web Services, it says:

If you use this Site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your AWS account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. AWS reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content in its sole discretion.

Cuteness alert!

MTV posted a clip from the Eclipse DVD (out this Sautrday) of the infamous tent scene, now including Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's commentary. OK, Robsten lovers brace yourselves! Because their banter is adorable as they giggle their way through it.

But how, exactly, is that possible? See, at the beginning of the commentary Kristen announces she is in Montreal while Rob says he is in L.A.:

Must have been a conference call type arrangement? Because if you watch the clip, there is no way they weren't doing it together ('tho, physically apart). Start the canoodle-conspiracy theories ASAP!

Stellar Warm-up for 'If You Are the One 2'

12/02/2010 10:43:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


Cast members of the romantic comedy, "If You Are the One 2" ("Fei Cheng Wu Rao 2"), including Shu Qi, Yao Chen, Sun Honglei and An Yixuan, gathered in Beijing on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 to warm up for the Dec. 22 release of the film.

The film is a sequel of the 2008 box-office smash hit, "If You Are the One", which tells of a middle-aged man's search for love as he sets his hope on blind dates. The sequel follows the development of the man's newly-established relationship with an attractive lady. Both films are directed by Feng Xiaogang.

Ge You, who plays the love-seeking man, was absent from the press conference. The actor is probably the busiest star this New Year's season, having to promote three films, all touted as potential box-office favorites, to which he is a lead actor. The other two films are Chen Kaige's "Sacrifice " ("Zhao Shi Gu'er"), and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly " ("Rang Zidan Fei").
