Actress Ashley Tisdale has apparently split from Martin Johnson, the lead singer of Boys Like Girls, and has been spotted with her ex-boyfriend Scott Speer. [...]
We hear that pilgrims have already started flocking to the town of Ivybridge (population 12,056) in the forested depths of southwest England. Very soon though, you'll be able to pay homage to Moore's law without travelling further than your favorite online retailer, because the third generation of Intel Core processors has just launched and should be available to buy before the end of this month. These include eight different variants of Core i7 for desktops and notebooks (including Ultrabooks of course), plus five types of Core i5 destined for desktops only. Those watching out for cheaper dual-core i5, i3 and Pentium-branded options will have to wait a little longer, because today's launch is all about the high-end. And just how high is 'high'? Judging from the gossip we've heard, and from benchmarks of leaked desktop and notebook chips, we're looking a significant improvement over Sandy Bridge. But if you want the first official boasts, then read on.
We're more used to phones getting leaked ahead of time, but it's not always just the latest and greatest handset that sneaks its way into our inbox. Danish website Recordere has managed to get a cheeky glimpse of the new BeoPlay V1 TV from Bang and Olufsen. Pegged as the new "affordable" model from the Scandinavian manufacturer, it'll come in two flavors: the BeoPlay V1-32 and V1-40 (the numbers representing screen size,) which include DLNA functionality, five HDMI ports, one USB, and integrated 5.1 surround sound, as well as a few other treats. The official launch is the 5th of May, with pricing set at €2,399 and €2,899 (about $3,170 and $3,831 respectively) depending how big the space in your front room is.
Giuliana and Bill Rancic were on the Today show this morning to announce some wonderful news. The couple will become first time parents this summer. Anyone who has watched Bill and Giuliana?s reality show or even seen an interview with the couple is aware of just what they have gone through to become parents. They have seriously struggled with one heartbreaking moment after another. Thankfully though their wish has come true and they will have the baby they have been dreaming of this summer. In a joyous interview with Ann Curry on the Today show the very happy couple shared the news that they are expecting their first child via a gestational surrogate. What that means exactly is that it is their biological child and this woman is just carrying it for them. Bill and Giuliana revealed that they are constantly in touch with the woman and that they know the sex of their baby. However they are not spilling if the nursery is going to be painted pink or blue. I watched the interview this morning and I have to say I was so moved. I mean it was only six months ago that Giuliana shared that she was [...]
The Transformer Pad TF300 will be available in royal blue immediately but other colors such as torch red and iceberg white will be available in early June. US Pricing is $379 for the 16GB model, $399 for the 32GB model with the optional docking station retailing for $149.

It's really beautiful outside. Like so beautiful if San Francisco is like this more often it will become really expensive to live here. Also, Quora is raising money according to the multiple people in the past week. From what I've heard, the startup wants to raise between $30 to $50 million in its Series B, at a $400 million valuation -- an amount which strangely enough seems modest in light of the billion dollar rounds being thrown about willy nilly.
Encroaching into the semiconductor business might not seem the most obvious move for a phone manufacturer that's trying to unify its efforts. Nevertheless, China Times reports that HTC has signed a "memorandum of cooperation" with ST-Ericsson to co-develop a new dedicated chip for low-end handsets coming out next year. Since ST-Ericsson is a fabless chip designer, HTC won't risk getting silicon between its fingernails. Instead, if this agreement is what it seems, the Taiwanese manufacturer may simply want more direct control over its supply chains and to reduce its currentreliance on ready-made designs from Qualcomm or NVIDIA. After all, it can't be easy for HTC's new CFO, looking on while others gobble up those margins.
As any gadget fan knows, the bane of our existence is the battery. No matter how wonderful the device or gadget, if the battery lets you down, you aren’t happy. You would think that someone by now would have been able to come up with a battery that you simply don’t have to worry about, [...]
Demi Mooreis having a good week. First she posted on Twitter for the first time in three months, and now she's finally made her first public appearance since her stint in rehab.
A staple of modern business is communications. A business simply cannot exist without connecting with suppliers, partners and customers. The challenge isn?t having communications, but rather controlling the plethora of communications channels ? telephony, video conferencing, instant messaging, collaboration tools, email, portals and mobile devices, to name a few.
Unified communications holds the promise of bringing all these disparate tools together to make the conveyance of information easier and lead to higher levels of productivity and effectiveness.
The trouble facing the channel: There?s no such thing as a unified communications product despite the fact businesses will spend more than $27 billion on such technology this year.
Reconciling this notion of a huge marketplace and no product was the task given to me by the CompTIA Unified Communications Community, who asked me to speak at its meeting last week in Chicago. Initially, I was going to talk about the evolution of the social enterprise, the use of social tools like Twitter and Facebook in place of telephones and email. I did keep that message, but called an audible at the last minute to expand the discussion to the communications challenges of businesses.
The average business user receives 100 to 125 emails per day. Layer on that the number of phone calls, text messages and tweets, and that?s a lot of communication. But it doesn?t begin to take in the true volume until meetings ? particularly remote meetings facilitated by services such as Citrix GoToMeeting or Cisco Webex ? are taken into consideration. And what about all those documents passed back and forth via email, servers and file sharing services? That?s a form of communication, too.
The volume is simply fantastic, as are the options for delivering and managing these communiques.
While many ?unified communications? vendors offer products that integrate telephony and applications, collaboration and video, instant messaging and social networks, communications and business applications, none offers a product under a ?single pane of glass? with all the communications tools that are easily accessible, usable and affordable.
This isn?t alien to the industry, either. The definition of unified communications spells it out clearly:
?Unified communications is the integration of real-time communication services such as instant messaging, presence information, telephony, video conferencing, data sharing (including web-connected electronic whiteboards, aka IWB?s or Interactive White Boards), call control and speech recognition with non-real-time communication services such as unified messaging (integrated voicemail, e-mail, SMS and fax). UC is not necessarily a single product, but a set of products that provide a consistent unified user interface and user experience across multiple devices and media types. There have been attempts at creating a single product solution however the most popular solution is dependent on multiple products.? (Thank you, Wikipedia)
And that definition makes unified communications an integrator?s dream. Solution providers can mix and match technologies to create solutions tailored to customers, verticals, market segments and price points. There are so many suppliers ? Cisco, Microsoft, Avaya, Polycom, ShoreTel, LifeSize, Adtran, etc. ? that solution providers can literally build systems that use vendor components in systems that become their brand.
The open definition of unified communications makes it a unique platform in which the message isn?t the technology sold into the customer environment, but rather how the technology delivers an outcome desired by the customer. Consider this: A small business says it has unified communications because it has softphones installed on all its PCs alongside, but not integrated with, a third-party instant messaging application. Is that unified communications? A purist would say no, but the simple answer is yes because it meets the customer?s need and budget.
Now, consider the possibilities of open unified communications. A law firm wants a phone system integrated with CRM. The intent is to track all calls and automate billing against accounts, which requires integration with the finance system. And since not all communications are done by phone, email and instant messaging must be integrated into the system, as well. This goes beyond unified communications to integrated business solutions. If you think this is fanciful, guess again. This is a real example provided by a telephony solution provider.
The channel needs to stop thinking of unified communications as a product and start thinking of it as an outcome. By designing systems with independently developed intellectual property that leverages vendor technologies as building blocks, solution providers can create a robust, branded communications solution that advances their customers? productivity and profitability. Now that?s the promise of unified communications.
Kim Kardashian is many things to Kanye West -- his musical muse, his longtime friend and perhaps even his new girlfriend. The one thing she's not? His "Beyonce."
Pop quiz: Can you tell what the device pictured above is? If you answered "a clock that represents the essential building blocks of a CPU while using binary and HEX numerals to display time," then you're certifiably crazy -- and correct. The brainchild of tinkerer extraordinaire Lior Elazary, the "CPU clock" mechanically emulates the application of computer concepts -- codes, instructions and checks -- to create a "simple" wall clock. To display the time, the middle register uses binary numbers to indicate the hour (a reading of "0010" indicates 2 o'clock, for example). For minutes, the clock uses the HEX numerals on the outer edge of the device, so "05" represents "5," "0A" indicates "10," and so forth. Keeping the clock up to date is a ball that goes around and activates the various levers to change the time. Given all its geeky goodness, this one easily takes the nerd cake from the wordy QLOCKTWO W and super flashy Sci-Fi watch. For a more clockwork-like explanation about its inner workings, check out the video after the break.

Kourtney Kardashian, Vernon Davis and Stephanie Izard join Windows Phone to launch the new Nokia Lumia 900 by giving away "free time."
April 09, 2012 --
REDMOND, Wash., April 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To mark the launch of the first 4G LTE Windows Phones at AT&T,(1) including the highly anticipated Nokia Lumia 900, Microsoft Corp. is giving people what they crave most: more free time. Windows Phone has set up Free-Time Machines (FTMs) across the country to show how smartphones help people quickly and easily complete everyday tasks.
A recent Wakefield Research survey found 91 percent of smartphone owners say their phone has saved them time. With this in mind, Windows Phone created FTMs to work like ATMs, but rather than issuing cash to consumers, they will dispense "free time" in the form of free grocery delivery, cleaning and dog-walking services, access to onsite personal concierges, or new Windows Phones to select prize winners.
"For the first time, artful engineering and design is merging with AT&T's lightning-fast 4G LTE network, resulting in a smartphone that can help people get everyday tasks done faster," said Terry Myerson, corporate vice president, Windows Phone, Microsoft. "The value of speed in a smartphone comes down to this: How can we save you time on the stuff that matters? The introduction of Free-Time Machines is a way to show people how Windows Phones can put a little time back in their day."
In places like New York's Bryant Park, San Francisco's Union Square and Chicago's Pioneer Court, FTMs will surprise attendees with unexpected time-saving experiences.
In New York, Kourtney Kardashian will free up one lucky winner's time by providing access to her hair stylist, makeup artist, car service and a personal shopper from Kardashian's clothing boutique, DASH. As a busy mom, Kardashian knows firsthand how having a smartphone that makes things fast and easy can help save you time in your day.
In San Francisco, San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis will make a special appearance to give one time-pressed winner some extra help for the day. Davis understands the importance of speed on and off the field and how having a fast smartphone helps you stay on top of your game.
Chicago-based chef Stephanie Izard will serve up free time and tasty food to one Chicago FTM user. As the James Beard Award-nominated executive chef and owner of restaurant Girl & the Goat, Izard appreciates how a speedy smartphone keeps her connected to her business and her fans.
In addition, FTMs will be staffed by Free-Time Engineers, on-call, on-site, time-saving concierges, who will take on winners' time-intensive tasks, such as standing in line for burgers and shakes in Manhattan, delivering lunch to an office in Chicago or holding a place in line for a cable car in San Francisco.
On sale now exclusively at AT&T, the new Nokia Lumia 900, $99.99 (U.S.)(2) raises the bar for smartphones, bringing together sleek design, the fast AT&T network and an effortless Windows Phone experience. The Nokia Lumia 900, named "Best of CES" by CNET for all smartphones, is available in an eye-catching cyan blue and a matte black, as well as in a high-gloss white version, which will go on sale April 22.
Not able to make it to the event? No problem! U.S. residents 18 and older can participate in the Free-Time Machine Instant Win Promotion online at http://www.freetimemachine.com. See website for Official Rules.

Investing is a topic that has the potential to both, intrigue and confuse. When done well, it has the potential to generate significant wealth, but can also result in serious losses for those involved. The key to smart investing is knowledge. Take the tips in this piece to heart, and you will have the tools you need to earn real profits.
Do not let your emotions get the best of you. If you feel that trading is causing you too much stress, perhaps it is not for you. Take a break if you become too tense. You should also avoid trading if it becomes an obsession or if you get too greedy to make rational decisions.
If your investment target is college or higher education expenses, then a Roth IRA offers a good choice. Post-secondary education costs for yourself, your spouse and even your immediate family and children can be paid for through a Roth IRA. This can be done so without taxes and early withdrawal penalties. The stock market can make sure the money you save for college stays ahead of the rise in college costs.
If you plan on working past a typical retirement age of mid-sixties, consider a Roth IRA. This investment vehicle comes with no mandatory distribution age, unlike other stock investment opportunities. This means you can sit back and watch your portfolio grow even more before you tap into it for living expenses. This can mean a longer, better retirement, or more inheritance for your descendants.
Watch out for emotional trading. The stock market can certainly become emotional at times, and there isn't an investor in the world who hasn't let their emotions play a part in a trade from time to time. If you let those emotions get the best of you, and you trade based solely on them, you will open yourself up to impulse buying and selling, which often leads to big losses. Try to keep your emotions out of your trades as often as possible and never be afraid to step back and thing about something for a moment before taking action.
Avoid becoming emotionally attached to a stock. Some people believe in a company so much that they don't know when it's time to get out. If you invest in this way, you will fail to sell when selling is the right thing to do, and you will lose money. Invest based on solid research, and not your heart, for the best results.
Watching a company's stock price move up and comprehending why, is much different than knowing beforehand that you think the company is on the rise. Finding companies that look poised to make a move takes a great deal of research. Also, analyst reports are good to look at, as well. Do your research, and select companies that you think are in growth mode.
Remember that to be successful in the stock market, you will need more than just luck. There are many people who believe there is no skill needed, and those people are wrong. You need to know what you are doing, and really learn about the stock market before making any investment.
The information in this article is just a starting point, so put these tips to use and continue to learn as much as you can as you build your investing strategy. While profits will continue to grow for you, staying on top of the latest knowledge and strategy for investing will help you succeed.
