Know your faith through Octopus Paul Via Apple app(Unofficial)

0 comments

The uTouchLabs-developed app is called “Ask the Octopus”  and it’s available in the App Store  for the iPhone , iPod touch and iPad (though it doesn’t have a special iPad version).

It’s pretty basic. When you start it up, you see an animated octopus, and you’re asked to enter in two things to compare (Soup or salad? Paper or plastic? Jacob or Edward? We’re sure you can think of better things to compare). After you’ve picked the options, the octopus drifts to the sea floor and selects a box, just like Paul. It’s random, of course — we don’t believe this octopus has secret predictive powers, but like a Magic 8-Ball, it’s fun to play with.

'Jezebel', in the spot light.

By Jennifer Mascia, NYT News Service,

New York: When Jon Stewart announced on the June 29 episode of The Daily Show that "Jezebel thinks I'm a sexist," some viewers may have been wondering: who exactly is Jezebel?

At least a million and a half people can answer that question; that's how many visited the site, a women's interest blog, last month. Mr Stewart's comment was a response to Jezebel's recent report on claims by women who say they faced a sexist environment when they were Daily Show writers and correspondents. The post garnered more than 211,000 page views, over 1,000 comments and a sharp retort from 32 female employees currently with The Daily Show.

Jezebel began in 2007 as a post-feminist companion to Gawker.com, the New York media insider blog, and in some ways has eclipsed its sibling, capturing an impassioned female audience and recently surpassing Gawker in monthly page views.

Watching 3D content at Home with in next 2 years, No Big Deal.

With the rapid development and advancement of 3D Content arena, watching 3D Media at home will be common sight to see, thanks to Avatar which made the general public to think about it and  FIFA WC for raising awareness of the Technology.

Although many believe that consumers will never want to wear 3D glasses at home, and 3D TVs have only been on sale for a matter of months, a combination of factors points to faster adoption of 3D than of previous new technologies.

Unlike high-definition video or the VHS-Betamax battle before it, where deployment was held up for years while movie studios and electronics makers supporting rival formats battled for dominance, 3D presents no such prospect of a format war.

But TVs are already on sale from Samsung that convert two-dimensional signals into 3D in real time, meaning that consumers can already start to enjoy images leaping out of the screen, even with little original 3D content yet available.

Jonathan Klein, president of CNN's domestic channel, said that Mr. King, 76, was ending the show "on his own terms," just after his 25th anniversary. Mr. Klein said he would announce a new 9 pm program over the summer.

Mr. King will stay at CNN part time. In an announcement on his show, he said that he would host an undetermined number of specials "on major national and international subjects." "Larry King Live," the centerpiece of the CNN primetime schedule, has seen its ratings drop sharply in the recent years, particularly in the last six months, leading to widespread talk that Mr. King's current contract, which will expire in June 2011, could be his last. Asked by Bill Maher, his guest on his Tuesday night show, about the speculation in the media, Mr. King said "that had nothing to do with it." He said he approached CNN management about the change and they "graciously accepted."
