The British version of American Idol, The X Factor, this weekend premiered in England, switching to the even more dramatic live-audition format of Simon Cowell's other big across-the-pond reality hit, Britain's Got Talent. And auditioning Saturday night, non-coincidentally in the all-important "pimp slot," was hunky and likable schoolteacher Danyl Johnson. And this teacher gave an A+ performance, for sure.
How good was Danyl? Well, he managed to accomplish the unthinkable: Danyl not only made Simon Cowell smile, but he inspired Simon to give him a standing ovation...and Simon even declared Danyl's audition of the Joe Cocker version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" "the single best first audition I have ever heard."
Here's the Danyl Johnson video link - singing "With A Little Help From My Friends".

Nokia Launches Its First Notebook Computers
Nokia Corporation, the world's mobile phones leader, declared war on PC manufacturers as it launches its first notebook computers on Monday. Nokia notebook computers is powered by an Intel chip and running on Windows Mobile. Nokia Booklet 3G, as it's called, marks a major move for the Finnish company, which had until now stayed away from the growing and intensely competitive market for mini notebooks, known as netbooks.
Nokia Booklet 3G is equipped with a 10-inch screen, weighs 1.25 kilos (2.75 pounds) and delivers up to 12 hours of battery life. It connects to the Internet through Wi-fi or a third-generation cellular network and boasts a GPS.
The use of Intel Atom processor and Windows Mobile came as a surprise to analysts who had believed Nokia would likely opt for Linux or Maemo for its first netbook. Additional details, including pricing, availability and distribution strategy, will be announced at next week's Nokia World conference in Stuttgart, Germany.

Rumor has it that Aerosmith's vocalist Steven Tyler is dead after falling off the stage during the band's performance at Sturgis Motorcycle and Music Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota on Wednesday night.

As of yesterday, details of how serious those injuries were were not released and now there's a rumor circling that he's dead. Is his true?
No. Steven Tyler is not dead. The world of Rock'n'Roll can rest easy. He broke his shoulder and bled profusely on the way to the hospital. The band had to postpone tonight's concert in Winnepeg, Canada.

Obama Joker Posters on LA Streets
President Barack Obama Joker posters are posted throughout Los Angeles today. The posters depict Obama wears make up like the villain Joker played by late actor Heath Ledger from the blockbuster movie The Dark Knight. The caption "SOCIALISM" appears below the Obama Joker poster.
It remains unknown who had made the poster (or who had distributed them). As expected, many are outraged and offended by the poster. As the day progresses, the poster is beginning to appear on off-ramps and underpasses in the Hollywood area.
Although reports at this time are unconfirmed, it is being reported that the release of the Obama Joker posters may be a coordinated endeavor across the US today by groups or organizations angry with the President, presumably, over issues relating to the proposed universal health care.

How to Recognize and Avoid the iPhone Virus
Charlie Miller, an iPhone hacker and researcher found an iPhone security hole last month and intends to release the bug during the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Thursday. There had been iPhone activation problems last month and if this security risk will not be addressed quickly, expect a new iPhone virus to spread and complaints about the device to arise any day. quickpwn has the details about iPhone SMS hack and how to recognize and avoid the iPhone virus.
iPhone SMS hack details
How does the SMS hack work? Firstly, this hack does not requirreleae the victim to download any file. The attacker only needs to know the victim’s phone number. Miller says the attack is enabled by a serious memory corruption in the way the iPhone handles SMS messages. For the attack to work, an attacker must send hundreds of SMS control messages (different from regular SMS messages) and only the initial SMS will be seen. This attack works on both the iPhone and the Andoid. What does the iPhone SMS hack do? This hack can allow the attacker to make calls from your iPhone, steal your data, send text messages, and also spread the attack to other iPhones in your address book.
How to recognize and avoid the iPhone virus
If you get a strange text message containing any square box, even if it’s from a recognized number you may be the victim of the iPhone virus.
You have two choices:
1. Put your iPhone in Airplane mode: Go to Settings -> Airplane Mode and slide the button to Off.
2. Hold down the power button, and slide to turn your iPhone off.
The only thing we can do now is wait for Apple to release a patch. We expect Apple to release the iPhone 3.1 update by September, but hopefully this exploit causes them to release it earlier. iPhone Forensics expert, Jonathan Zdziarski and iPhone hacker p0sixninja from the Chonic Dev Team recently tweeted about the possibility to release their own patch for this vulnerability (only available through a jailbreak).

Erin Andrews Peephole Tape: Most Wanted Video
Erin Andrews peephole tape video seems to be the most wanted video these days. The video shows the ESPN reporter's naked body in her hotel room. There's a suspicion that Erin may have been videotaped by one of her own colleague, Radaronline reports. Her lawyers insist the Erin Andrews peephole tape video was made without Erin's knowledge, and she was "in the privacy of her hotel room.
The scandal erupted when the Erin Andrews video was posted to the French Web site Dailymotion. Radaronline reports that the video was uploaded by a user named Goblazers1 who has been identified as a 49-year-old American male.
ESPN is infuriated, and has vowed to find the person who created the video. "Andrews has been grievously wronged here. Our people and resources are in full support of her as she deals with this abhorrent act," Josh Krulewitz, a spokesman for ESPN told Radaronline.

Video: Banned Sprite Commercial
Some people think that the Sprite commercial has crossed the line. The Sprite commercial has been banned in Germany and probably many countries since it depicts naked interracial man and woman doing what looks like a fellatio.
The Sprite commercial is pretty straight forward. There’s a naked white woman kneeling on the floor before a naked black man, and she is obviously giving the guy an oral sex. They show his face, and he is obviously having a good time. You then see her face, and she thinks to herself something like "Man, I could really go for a Sprite right now." Then you see his face again and he’s at that magical point of no return, and the woman gets hit in the face with a bunch of fizzy Sprite. The banned Sprite commercial ends with a close up shot at her face, her chin covered in white fizz, and she says "I love Sprite."
Watch the banned Sprite commercial video below.

Obama Responds Obama's Mom Jeans Critics
When President Barack Obama threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the major league baseball All-Star Game in St. Louis last week, he was probably more concerned with getting the ball over the plate than with his outfit. Call it a rookie mistake. Obama's baggy jeans were mocked as being "mom jeans." Now, Obama has responded to his "mom jeans" critics.
In an interview on NBC's "Today Show" that mostly covered serious topics, President Obama acknowledged that he "looked a little frumpy" in his baggy jeans. In his defense, Obama said he doesn't like shopping and that "those jeans are comfortable." The President continued, "For people who want a president to look great in tight jeans, I'm sorry." No apology necessary, Mr. President. The thought of our Commander-In-Chief wearing skinny jeans is a terrifying prospect.

Erin Andrews Video Used to Spread Virus
The hot ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews peephole video might has been the most searched video today. But now the video of Erin Andrews undressing in her hotel room episode has become a quite different story. It is believed that the footage is being used to spread a computer virus.
Erin Andrews is named America's Sexiest Sportscaster by Playboy magazine in 2008. She has been a favorite of bloggers and websites and has shown a great sense of humor about the obsession many have of her. However, the recent episode of someone videotaping her through a keyhole in her hotel room without her consent has shown how dangerous the obsession can become.

Art Dealer Lawrence Salander Arrested for Art Scam
Art dealer Lawrence B. Salander was arrested again for his role in what Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau called the biggest art scam in New York history, Bloomberg reported. Manacled and grimacing, the 60 year art dealer, who at his peak counted hedge-fund managers and tennis star John McEnroe as clients, pleaded not guilty in criminal court this afternoon. Five hours earlier he surrendered to Morgenthau’s office in lower Manhattan.
The new charges add three counts against Salander to the 100-count indictment presented in March — and introduced a new bold-faced name to the criminal case. Morgenthau said Salander and Morse repeatedly sold works by Robert De Niro Sr., an abstract expressionist painter who died in 1993, without informing his son, the actor Robert De Niro, or remitting proceeds.
Below are paintings by Robert De Niro Sr.

Obama's First Pitch at 2009 All Star Game
Wearing a White Sox jacket and some rather square dad-esque jeans, President Barack Obama did a perfectly respectable job throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star game in St Louis this evening. Though it was tough to tell on telly, Obama seemed to throw the ball over the plate to Cardinal first baseman Albert Pujols, who inched up from a catcher's normal spot. Some booed Obama, but some more cheered him.
Smiling like he just clinched the final game of the World Series, the president then pumped his arm, seemingly pleased with the high-pressure pitch he had been practicing.

Transformers 2 Highest Grosser of The Year
Box Office Mojo estimates the blockbuster movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has grossed $17.8 million on Friday, edging past Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' $17 million for the top spot the second day in a row.

Airbus A310-300 Crash at Indian Ocean
Bodies of at least five victims from Airbus A310-300 crash had been recovered, along with the plane debris, reported Yemeni authorities. One live child was also reportedly rescued as the SAR teams searching for survivors of the Airbus crash near the island nation of Comoros.
Yemenia Air Flight 626 was en route from the Yemeni capital of San'a to the island nation of Comoros when it crashed over the Indian Ocean. The flight with 142 passengers and 11 crew originated in Paris on an Airbus A330 and stopped in Marseille before continuing the flight to Yemen, where the passengers and crew transferred to an Airbus A310-300.
The second Airbus plane went down as it approached the Prince Said Ibrahim International Airport in Moroni in heavy winds 12 miles from the coast of the island, the Yemeni authorities reported.
The Tuesday accident is the second major crash involving an Airbus jet flying to or from France this month. On June 1, an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris crashed in the Atlantic, killing all 228 people aboard. The French air accident investigator was expected to publish its preliminary report on that accident Thursday.

Apple Removes "Hottest Girls" from the App Store
Apple has banned the "Hottest Girls" application for the iPhone. At first Apple allowed the "Hottest Girls" software distributed by the App Store on Thursday, but then removed the application after the developer started showing pictures of nude women. Availability of the application made it look that the company may have lightened its strict prohibition on adult contents in the store. But Apple removed the "Hottest Girls" software, and made it clear its policy is still the same.
"Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content," Tom Neumayr, Apple spokesman, said.

Van Halen Sues Nike on Dunk Low Sneakers
ELVH, Eddie Van Halen's company, are suing Nike shoes company over an alleged design similarity between Van Halen's iconic "Frankenstein" guitar and a new line of their Nike Dunk Low sneakers. But in a statement to Footwear News, Nike has now called the lawsuit without merit.
In 2001, Van Halen copyrighted the crisscrossing red, black and white pattern that Eddie created in the late '70s for his hybrid version of Gibson and Fender electric guitars. He's continued to use the design on subsequent guitars. The trim on the side of the Nike Dunks features a red background with black and white crisscrosses.
