Justin Bieber Smoking

Did Justin Bieber smoke weed? It never happened! A picture of a teenage boy, who looks a lot like Justin, smoking week from a pipe has been circulating the web, but it’s not Justin (photo below).

In fact, the picture is poorly Photoshopped. You have probably also heard rumors of Justin having syphilis or molesting a fan, hating Korea and being arrested. They are all pretty mean rumors.

Justin is a big star – he has as many haters as he has fans! Do not believe everything you read. Justin is a very sweet, sometimes a bit annoying, yet totally adorable teen, who loves his fans.

Justin Bieber smoking weed

There’s always a good Justin Bieber rumor to keep everyone on their toes. Tonight’s big rumor is that Justin Bieber has been smoking weed. The rumor has circulated through the Internet and comes close to topping the number one Justin Bieber rumor, ‘Is Justin Bieber dead?” Justin Bieber has made headlines recently for several things. He is starring in the season premier of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in September and he has been targeted by the anti-gay pseudo church Westboro Baptist.

Justin Bieber has not been caught smoking weed, photographed with weed or arrested for smoking weed. It is possible that this rumor extends from Justin’s acting debut on CSI and the fact that he posted a photo of himself wearing an orange jumpsuit on his Twitter and referred to himself as a bad man. For those who were unaware that Justin is acting in the hit show, it is understandable that confusion may have set in.

Rest assured, Justin Bieber is still holding fast to his image and hasn’t done anything to rock the boat. Apparently, the most scandalous thing Justin has really done is flirt with Tina Fey during an SNL skit and skipped through the waters of the Caribbean while holding Kim Kardashian’s hand.

Alicia Keys Wedding

Singer Alicia Keys said "I do" to music producer Swizz Beatz this weekend! The 29-year-old singer, who's pregnant with the couple's first child, wed Beatz, 31, Saturday in a small, intimate ceremony on the French island of Corsica.

Alicia wore a Vera Wang wedding gown specially designed to fit her pregnant belly while the groom, (real name Kasseem Dean) wore a white jacket and pink shirt. The couple's friend, Dr. Deepak Chopra, presided over the nuptials.

Alicia announced her pregnancy and engagement to Swizz Beatz in May 2010. This is the first marriage Keys.

Beatz split from his first wife Mashonda Tifrer (photo) in 2008, about a year after the birth of their son. They announced their plans to divorce - admist rumors of his affair with Alicia Keys. Back then, Mashonda wrote an open letter accusing Alicia of being a home-wrecker and destroying her family.

Mashonda and Swizz have a three-year-old son Kasseem Jr., 3.

Chelsea Clinton wedding details

After months of speculation and rumors about the location of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding some details have been leaked. At last!

Chelsea Clinton is to marry Marc Mezvinsky on July 31 according to sources close to the New York Magazine. It turns out that the wedding will take place in New York City. It was originally thought that the Clinton wedding would take place on Long Island but it seems like the Long Island Expressway is too much of a dress for the wedding.

The insider said “The wedding planner will contact each guest directly a week in advance and let them know where it is…You really see who their closest friends are in the list. It’s not a celebrity driven wedding.”

A top class Massachusetts even planner, Bryan Rafanelli, is organizing the nuptials. Only 400 people have been invited including donors, campaign, State Department, and Clinton Foundation staff, foreign dignitaries and both Clinton and Obama White House officials, but Chelsea says she must personally know every guest.

iPhone Wireless Camera Tracking App: Best iPhone Spyware

Now the Vue wireless camera system can work fabulously with your iPhone client. It’s small, tiny and wireless, so you can hide it in cracks and check in occasionally. So try it now and make out things unique. All this can cost you $300 for the central wireless receiver and two cameras.

It receives the simple user interface of the website and cuts off even more, leaving you with just a login screen, a camera selection screen and the camera screens themselves. You just get connected in seconds and once you’re in, you can turn on all the modes you can on the computer like night mode, recording and snapshot.

However, it can’t be used for long streaming sessions but of course you can show your friends what your candy- captured person is currently doing right away from your phone. So though it can’t be used 24×7, but can be used for seeing what’s going on in your house with just a browser.

But is the price worrying you? then for $ 299 for the whole setup. Still if you want something like this but an alternative to Vue, you can either set up a computer and a webcam, which is more expensive, or you can get an alternative video surveillance system, which is much harder to set up.

BlackBerry Blackpad To Offer Tough Competition To Apple iPad

RIM’s Blackpad might offer tough competition to Apple’s iPad when launched. Yes, the maker of Blackberry, RIM has also acquired the internet rights to blackpad.com earlier this month. And now according to two officials, the company is planning to introduce this tablet computer in November. The officials also said that the device will be priced in tune with iPad that starts at $499.

Rumours flying around suggest that the device will include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology which will allow people to connect to the internet through their BlackBerry smartphones. Also, the screen size will be roughly of the same dimension as the iPad, which has 9.7 inch diagonal screen. The other possibilities are that the tablet by RIM will have front and back facing cameras for videoconferencing. Its Wi-Fi will also allow users to connect to the internet anywhere the wireless technology is available. Even if the user is not near the Wi-Fi hotspot, he will be able to connect wirelessly to his mobile phone with Bluetooth and then to the internet.

However, it’s RIM’s policy not to leak out their plans in public before confirming anything, therefore no official word is available from RIM on the rumoured BlackPad. When contacted for comment, RIM declined to comment anything in this regard. But one thing which is confirmed is that BlackBerry and AT&T will be introducing the not-so-secret BlackBerry 9800 slider next week at their joint event.

In reply to it, Saurik replied in a Direct Message to a user on Twitter:

I actually gave comex the bootstrap he needed last night. so I am no longer the bottleneck. (The concept of “bottleneck” is very transient.)

Inside sources are confirming that BigBoss has stated that the jailbreak should be out by this Sunday if no issue are found.

You may catch up entire discussion between Planetbeing, Comex, ih8sn0w and chpwn about much anticipated iPhone 4 unlock and jailbreak.

BestBuy Making Room For New XBox 360 Consoles – Slashes Prices For Old

Beginning today (August 1st), Best Buy will mark down the Final Fantasy XIII and Splinter Cell: Conviction special edition Xbox 360 consoles to only $299. For those of you who don’t already know what that means, you’ll be saving yourself an extra $50. As you might expect, the company is trying to get rid of their sock of these bundles to try and make some room for the new console that just launched and the Kinect bundles which are coming out soon.

There isn’t anything different about the bundles – you’ll still get the black or white Xbox 360 as well as two controllers, the game itself, as well as the console and a 250GB hard drive. Considering how ordinary the 250 hard drive seems now-a-days, we’re not sure anyone out there would actually want to pick up either of these packages. Especially since the new console, with all of its new looks and amenities, goes for the same price. Then again, the game and extra controller might be worth the deal alone.

iPhone Antenna Problem is Only in the U.S.

Is it because of the summer break? but it is a moment that we were without news of the antenna problem iPhone4. It's just that the news may not please the competition. The Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang , better known by the abbreviation AG has conducted an investigation into the reception problems on the latest smartphone from Cupertino.

After a series of comparative tests conducted on the iPhone 3G, 4G iPhone, the HTC and the Nokia E71 Wildfire, the Norwegian newspaper says " antenna design does not interfere with the manner of holding the phone. Tests were conducted in the area covered by the Norwegian operator Telenor".

The paper reaches the following extortion; scary for the competition: " the problem of air and dropped calls on iPhone 4 is a uniquely American problem and probably more related to local operator AT & T, Al ".

PlayStation 3 Firmware 3.40 Around The Corner – PlayStation Plus Incoming

News on a firmware update for the PlayStation 3 is in the air (firmware 3.40). This firmware update has the PlayStation Plus, premium service which Sony announced at E3 2010. To give a quick recap, $50 annual fee nets you a 50 percent discount on PSN titles, early access to betas, and one hour of demo time on select full titles (among other benefits). If you aren’t willing to shell out the money though however for the Plus service, there are a few other worthy tidbits in the software patch including five-star ratings for content purchased on the Store, a video editor and uploader for Facebook and YouTube (not a video capture service), and further integration into Picasa and Facebook photo galleries. While we are on the topic of Facebook, a new app will be appearing on the social site showing off your PSN profile and friending others. Although a list of some of the firmware updates was released, no exact release date was given, but if the past is any indication of when this firmware is to be released, then it won’t be too long until everyone will see the update message upon logging onto PSN.

Adobe Demos Flash on Android Tablet

Adobe pulled off something of a surprise as the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco when the company demonstrated Flash and Adobe AIR running on an Android-based touchscreen tablet. The prototype tablet apparently played Flash content without any problems, according to Zedomax, which means Adobe may have finally shown that Flash can run acceptably on mobile devices.

The tablet device looked to be based on NVIDIA’s prototype tablet hardware that could be available for consumers near the end of the year.

Assuming production models perform as well as the prototype demonstration, and offers battery life that’s in line with the iPad, competition in Apple’s redefined tablet market could heat up.

The demonstration is also good news for Adobe since the company needed to show its Flash technology running smoothly on portable devices following its weak response to an open letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs that slammed Flash.

The two companies have been openly sparring ever since Apple revised the license for iPhone OS 4 developers to block third-party tools that can’t directly link to Apple’s APIs. Adobe had been showing off its Flash CS5 module that converts Flash apps into native iPhone apps ahead of the announcement.

Whether or not Adobe’s prototype tablet running Google’s Android platform will be enough to convince Apple that Flash belongs on mobile devices, however, remains to be seen.

Huawei Officially Announces U8230 Android Smartphone

It's been a long time coming (we first got wind of a Huawei Android phone at this years Mobile World Congress) but finally Huawei has confirmed its long-awaited Android phone in the form of the U8230. It looks very similar to the mockup they had on display at MWC but with a bit of extra bling thanks to some silver edging.
Huawei U8230

Specs wise there's not much to go on. According to the press release it will sport a 3.5 inch touchscreen, allow users to switch between full and half QWERTY keyboards and has a 1500 mAh which they claim has "the longest battery capacity of any Android-powered handsets currently available." True, but then it doesn't take much to beat the G1's measly 1150 mAh or even the Magic's 1340 mAh. But hang on, doesn't Samsung's Galaxy have a 1500 mAh battery as well? Let's hope that Huawei's Android offering has a little more to brag about than increased battery life.

Amazon's 6-inch Kindle is now unavailable

Could the unavailability of the 6-inch Kindle on Amazon's website point towards the impending release of a next generation Kindle which has long been rumored to ship sometime next month? This is the first shortage of its kind since last year, where it also does not come with an estimated in-stock date. This could be due to the recent price drop to $189 that resulted in a sales spike shortly after that. Hopefully the next generation Kindle will be something worth writing about, and one that will offer some competition to the Apple iPad which has certainly done gangbusters since it was released less than half a year ago.

New Amazon Kindle DX with better Screen and lower Price unveiled

Amazon today introduced the new Kindle DX together with a new lower price of $379, down from $489.
The new Kindle DX has still the big 9.7-inch large screen but now with an all new, high contrast electronic ink display with 50% better contrast for the clearest text and sharpest images.

he new Kindle DX features a new graphite enclosure and still comes with the included free 3G wireless despite the considerable lower price.

The new Kindle DX is available for pre-order starting today at Amazon and it ships July 7.

The price of the new Kindle DX is also much lower than for the Apple iPad and you get free wireless connectivity.

The Kindle Store now has more than 620,000 books, including New Releases and 108 of 111 New York Times bestsellers, starting at $9.99 or less.

More than 200,000 books have been added to the U.S. Kindle Store in just the last six months, including the full selection of John Grisham titles. Over 1.8 million free, out-of-copyright, pre-1923 books are also available to read on Kindle, including classics such as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "Pride and Prejudice" and "Treasure Island."

Kindle App Hits Android Market

And with that, Amazon's Kindle platform slowly oozes its way into another crop of smartphone handsets. Android owners (version 1.6 and higher) can now download the Kindle app from the Android Market and synchronize books across all the other Kindle-infused gadgets strewn about the home.

Still no support for magazines or newspapers on anything but the actual Kindle hardware itself, but with this latest release the book portion of the equation has now spread to the iPhone and iPod Touch, Windows and Mac computers, BlackBerry handsets, and the iPad.

Belkin turns on the style in iPod nano 4G cases

Belkin is no stranger when it comes to iPod accessories, and this time round they’re offering more than just mere protection for your iPod nano 4G, but intend to suit those portable media players up in a way that will also attract positive attention. Both the Micra Chex and Fuse Cases reflect the re-emerging iconic checkerboard design and bold color trends of the 1980s, where the former will feature subtle graphical detail that enhances your iPod without hiding the color of your nano. All of these new cases will be available worldwide – that means the US, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia, while the Micra Flow Case will only make its way to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. They’ll retail for $19.99 (single) and $24.99 (2-pack).

Amazon Kindle for Mac Client Finally Arrives

Just over two weeks before the first iPads with an e-book store arrive, Amazon delivers its Kindle for Mac client. The software was listed as “coming soon” for longer than I define the word soon, but it’s a moot point now. It’s here and it’s free for Mac OS X 10.5+, making it another way to buy and read Kindle content without purchasing a Kindle device. I downloaded the client this morning and once signed in, saw my entire Kindle library, as expected.

Like the Windows version, this is a pretty bare-bones bit of software. You can see your library in color, but I don’t see a way to change the color of the actual pages. Text size and words per line are configurable, and you can show notes and bookmarks, but you can only make bookmarks — there’s no way to make notes, but that too is “coming soon.” That’s a shame since I’m reading a book with a nice, easy-to-use keyboard in front of me.

Control of pages is done through either a keyboard or a mouse, but one caveat — with my Apple Magic Mouse, I swiped from right to left for a page turn and immediately became dizzy. The kinetic action that’s useful when surfing the web isn’t so useful when reading a book. Pages whizzed by at an arming rate, making it look to observers that I was a champion speed reader. I’m not, although I’m clearly a champion mouse scroller.

What I least understand in all of this is: why did it take so long? And since the wait was so long, why such a limited client that’s essentially just showing text in a window? I’m happy to see the software, of course. In fact, I just bought a beginner’s guide to Java last weekend and I had my Kindle propped up next to my Mac — I was reading code snippets on the small eInk display and coding on the larger Mac screen. Now I can do both activities on the same screen. But for all of the waiting, I wonder if some will say, “This is it?”
