Face Book Reall Worth $41 Billion?

it seems like forever, really — the tech world has been fixed on finding how much the biggest social network, Facebook, is worth.
If you assurance the valuations at SecondMarket, an online exchange for trading with contrarily illiquid assets, Facebook is currently account about $41 billion, Businessweek has abstruse from a antecedent accustomed with the matter.
Back in 2007, Facebook was said to be account $15 billion; its appraisal “dropped” to a “meager” $3.7 billion at recession’s peak, but it has risen unstoppably anytime since.
In September, the Financial Times said Facebook was account $33 billion, which meant it was bigger than eBay, a about traded aggregation that was afresh admired at $32 billion. Now, with a $41 billion valuation, Facebook is already afresh binding over eBay, which is currently admired at $39.3 billion.

Yes, Facebook is one of the hottest technology companies around, and, yes, afresh it’s been assuming solid business results. But the accepted appraisal is beneath anxious with the business ancillary of things — eBay’s revenue, for example, is accepted to top $9 billion this year — and added with expectations, which alpha about at Facebook added accretion its huge user abject and accretion ad sales, and end at added than 1 billion users and apple dominance.
Unrealistic? Who knows. Risky? Definitely: one only needs to look back at MySpace and how quickly it fell from a social networking powerhouse to a has-been. You can trust the current Facebook valuations on SecondMarket, and if you’re feeling really bullish about social networking and Facebook’s future, feel free to raise the bar even higher. But have in mind that only after Facebook goes through with an IPO, the market will determine its value. Until then, its valuations are mostly speculation

no-problem-latest-movie-stills-kangana
Inspite of being here for only some years, Kangna Ranaut has carved her niche in Bollywood with her innocent beauty and acting skills. She also has a national award to flaunt. However, her career is marked with roles which mostly revolve around schizophrenic acts. All her successful movies like ‘Gangster’, ‘Woh Lamhe’ and ‘Fashion’, portray her in characters who are undergoing depression and are suffering from poor mental state.
She went for a change in ‘Life In A Metro’ and also in her latest hit ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’, but is back to the same mentally disturbed role in her forthcoming release ‘No Problem’, though with a difference.
“I know what you must be thinking,” laughs Anees Bazmee, the writer and director of the film, “In fact in the promo itself she declares that woh sabse badi paagal hai. However, it is all done in a funny manner here in ‘No Problem’ instead of taking it all seriously.”
“Kangna plays Sanjana who believes that she is the most beautiful girl on earth. This is a kind of role that she has never done before. Her entire look too has gone through a complete makeover in the film. I am sure audience will really like this new ‘roop’ of hers,” added Bazmi.

Tendulkar, SRK, Priyanka for single ticket

People of South Africa who are huge fans of legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar as well as Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan and actress Priyanka Chopra, will now be able to see them all under one roof. Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Thursday announced special plans for such fans in
Durban as it decided to honour Tendulkar and Makhaya Ntini, the first Black international star since South Africa's return to international cricket. The two will be honoured at the historic Standard Bank International Pro20 match at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban on 9 January, 2011, which will be the cherry on the top of a year of celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first indentured Indian labourers to South Africa in the city on 16 November, 1860.
The two teams will battle it out for the inaugural Krish Mackerdhuj Trophy, named after a veteran South African Indian sports administrator.
The match will be followed by the New Age Friendship Celebration Concert, teaming up leading local artists with Bollywood heavyweights Shahrukh, Anil Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.
Fans of Shahrukh who were unable to see him perform during his previous shows in the country due to high ticket prices, will now be able to watch him as well as other Hindi Film industry stars perform at the concert for the same price!
CSA CEO Gerald Majola said: "This match will be a singular commemoration of the close relationship between South Africa and India in cricket, cultural and commercial links going back over decades.
"Sachin is the only remaining playing member of the Indian team that played the first match against South Africa after our unity, the first team to tour South Africa and now he is here again to celebrate with us this historic match.
"Makhaya and Sachin represent all that is best in this great game of cricket, and we are honoured to bring this tribute to both of them at this anniversary of the roots that bind South Africa and India."
The organisers of the show, New Age is the latest newspaper group in South Africa, started up by the Gupta family with links to the Times of India.
"A limited number of tickets at R100 have been made available for the historic event. These tickets are aimed at the local community in Durban, and will be sold to previously disadvantaged communities with interest in cricket.
As such, these tickets will only be sold through local cricket clubs affiliated to the KwaZulu Natal Cricket Union," Majola said.
The match will be part of the Indian tour to South Africa starting in December that includes a five-match One Day International series and a three-match Castle Test series.

TMZ Sports: Coming Soon

Women throughout America - at least those that don't work as cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas - already hate Tiger Woods.
It sounds like professional athletes will soon feel the same way.
According to various sources, Warner Brothers has registered TMZSports.com, a sports-themed domain meant to serve as complement to its popular celebrity gossip website.
Insiders say this spin-off was planned long before Woods - and his wayward driver - made it clear just how much the public is interested in the private lives of sports stars. But it's safe to assume Tiger's nine-inch iron play helped speed along the decision.
Meanwhile, that sound you hear? It's the furious deletion of names/numbers from the cell phones of athletes all over the world.

Shahrukh Khan Turns James Bond In Next Film

Action is the mantra for Shah Rukh Khan, this season. The Bollywood actor seems to be in love with the genre at present. Though the audience is more used to watching the King Khan of India in romantic roles, SRK is all set to set screens on fire with action in his upcoming releases Don 2 and Ra.One. One look at the actor’s newly acquired lean structure is enough to confirm the fact that he has been sweating it out to become the first James Bond of India.
First of the two action films featuring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead is Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2. While the director had already improved on the older version of Don, he plans to make the sequel even more stylish and action-packed. And it is for this reason that Farhan Akhtar is taking a leaf out of the books of Hollywood action hero James Bond. The crew of the film is presently shooting in the German capital Berlin and it has been reported that while a body double will be used for the extreme sequences, SRK himself will perform some of the stunts shown in the film. In fact the actor has also had an accident while performing the acts in Berlin.
Following the Don 2 act is Ra.One, for which Shah Rukh Khan will have to perform more stunts considering that he will play a superhero in the movie. Ra.One is being touted as one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by the actor in his flourishing career. Action or no action, we love Shah Rukh and will be waiting for his films to hit theaters.

There have been several numbers that have Kat looking as hot as ever in her previous films. But most has her in the typical wet sari look or the short dress look. This film Tees Maar Khan will be the first time that Kat will be seen in the bare dare act with just a flimsy white satin bed sheet wrapped around her!

Malaika Arora Khan got offered Rs 2.5 Crore For new years eve

BollywoodWorld.com, ‘Munni’ aka Malaika Arora Khan has reportedly been offered an astounding amount of Rs.2.5 crores for her performance on the item number from Dabangg.
However, not one to take things at face value Malaika has gone on setting up certain conditions which the organizers have to follow. There are several offers according to reports and nothing has been finalized as of now. But with talks going on in full swing a final deal is soon in the offing.
Every year top B-town performers get hefty amounts of money to make their kitty heavier by a few thousands or lakh depending on the popularity of the number.
Several Bollywood actresses have been getting these very exclusive performance offers and hot amongst them of course have been Bipasha Basu and Mallika Sherawat. Both have bagged several lakhs for their stage performances.
The song ‘Munni Badnam Hui’, from the super hit film Dabangg starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha was much in the news for its use of the balm mentioned in it. The film makers were dragged to court by the trademark license holders of the balm but then an amicable out of court settlement was agreed by both parties. The song proved to be one of the biggest USP’s of the film.
Malaika Arora Khan gained more popularity and this New Years Eve it seems that Munni is all set to bring in the flavor of the hot item number with a live performance for the lucky few who can afford to make it to the high end venue-whichever it might be!

Whats The Origin Of Hrithik-Aishwarya’s Sizzling Chemistry?

 We are all talking about the unparalleled sizzling on-screen chemistry between two Bollywood superstars Hrithik Roshan and his co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Everyone thinks that their equation started since they were paired together in the blockbuster movie Dhoom 2 in 2006. However, very few have noticed that their bonding goes back to 10 years!
Well, it was an advertisement for the soft drink ‘Coca Cola’, which brought these two wonderful actors together on- screen ten years ago. Hrithik, who has also admitted the fact that a perfect equation happens between him and Ash, said that he still remembers the day when he first shot for the advertisement with the very beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He thinks that the perfect chemistry between them blossomed at that time itself which still continues till today.
Both the actors are extremely good dancers and their passion for dance might have also played a role to make this equation work after 10 years too. At that point of time, Hrithik was a newcomer, though he belted out a super hit in his very first film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, but still was known more as the son of yesteryear star Rakesh Roshan and a new hero with dancing talent. Aishwarya was however, a well-known name by that time due to her Miss World Crown and successful performances in the films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal.
According to the Guzaarish magician Hrithik, both Ash and he are selfless and believe in teamwork and that reflects in their films in the form of sizzling chemistry. He believes that their pairing is loved because they don’t have any ego hassles and are very good friends.
Well, we too wish them together on-screen many more times like this and wish that their 10-year-old chemistry works for Guzaarish too!

Shah Rukh Touched With Hrithik's Performance In Guzaarish

 
With the release of Guzaarish, the actor has more than made up for the flaw. His film is not only a commercial hit, Hrithik Roshan has also completely gave an answer back to the critics speaking against him. Hit or flop, Hrithik Roshan has never had a dearth of fans. But after his touching performance in Guzaarish, he has a very special fan and he is none other than Bollywood co-star and friend Shah Rukh Khan.
According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan was so touched after watching Guzaarish that he immediately called up Hrithik to congratulate him on his performance. And since Hrithik's wife Suzanne Khan was already a part of the group watching Guzaaris at Shah Rukh's home Mannat, SRK asked Hrithik too, to drop by. All this took place in the late hours of the night, and if reports are to be believed Hrithik Roshan stayed back until 2 am speaking to SRK about his experiences on working as a quadriplegic in Guzaarish.

While Bollywood's King Khan has gone on air showering praises on Hrithik's Ethan act, saying that the actor surpassed his own performance as a diseased man in My Name Is Khan, Hrithik Roshan very humbly denied that he was disturbed by Shah Rukh's call in the middle of the night. Though the actor has been recovering from viral fever, he made it a point to drive down to Mannat, stressing on the fact that it was for Shah Rukh who is not only a great friend but also a very generous human being.

While My Name Is Khan was already a frontrunner in film awards to be held next year, Shah Rukh Khan now has stiff competition from Hrithik Roshan's Guzaarish.

Will Shah Rukh Khan Say Yes To Dhoom 3?


Bollywood ‘Badshah’ Shah Rukh Khan has portrayed negative roles in movies like Darr, Baazigar, Anjaam, Duplicate and several other films and he was appreciated for his performances in those films. His character in Darr gained immense popularity for his typical stammering style. Recently, we have seen him portraying the popular character of ‘Don’ in the movie by the same name, which was originally immortalized by mega star Amitabh Bachchan. Now, there is a buzz that SRK is going to don the grey character once again and that too, for the third movie of Dhoom series. After much talk and speculation about the director and the actor to play the negative character, it has been reported that Aditya Chopra will direct Dhoom 3 and King Khan has reportedly given dates for the movie. Sanjay Gadhvi, the director of Dhoom and Dhoom 2, has quit Yash Raj films so Adi decided to take the responsibility on him.
However, some sources deny the confirmation saying that nothing has been finalized yet as SRK has been approached for being a part of the directorial venture of Yash Chopra.
Shooting for Dhoom 3 is likely to start from March, 2011. In Dhoom 2, Hrithik Roshan became the real hero even if he portrayed in the negative character. Now, it will be a challenge for SRK to recreate the magic that already touched the viewers’ heart. However, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will continue to portray their respective roles.
Vijay Krishna Acharya of Tashan fame will be writing the script of this challenging sequel. We hope the news of SRK taking up the negative role comes out to be true since the audience have always loved him in such roles.

Microsoft to cut Mac Office price by 33% for 5-day sale

Microsoft will slash the price of its Office for Mac 2011 suite by as much as 33% next week during a five-day sale.
Office for Mac 2011, which launched late last month, will be discounted at several online and brick-and-mortar retailers starting on Nov. 25, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. The deal will run through Monday, Nov. 29.
Amazon.com will cut the price of Home & Student by $40, to $79 for the one-license version and $109 for the three-license package. Home & Student lists for $119.99 and $149.99 for the one- and three-license editions, respectively, putting Amazon's discounts at 33% and 27%.
Other retailers, including Apple's own stores, Best Buy, MacMall and Microsoft's e-store, will chop off $20 from the list price of Home & Student.

Microsoft has discounted the Mac application suite before. In 2008, for instance, the company cut prices by as much as 70% for the then-current Office for Mac 2008 Special Media Edition, a $499.95 bundle that Microsoft did not revive for the newest edition.
As of mid-day Thursday, Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student held the No. 5 spot in Amazon's software bestseller list, while the pricier Home & Business had the No. 7 spot. The latter includes the same Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications as Home & Student, but adds the Outlook e-mail client to the mix.
Microsoft's Windows-based Office 2010 Home & Student was the No. 1 package on the same list.

Microsoft Messenger Edition 251 phone with Windows Live

Microsoft has partnered with SFR (France’s second largest mobile carrier) to introduce the Messenger Edition 251, a new QWERTY (well, AZERTY actually) messaging phone that comes pre-installed with Windows Live Messenger.
Targeted at young users, the Messenger Edition 251 looks a bit like a BlackBerry and it’s most probably manufactured by ZTE, since it almost perfectly resembles the ZTE X990.
The new phone’s features include a QVGA landscape touchscreen display, web browser, Bluetooth, music player, FM radio, 2MP camera and MicroSD card support. The handset runs a proprietary OS that might have something to do with Microsoft’s Project Pink – the Pink phones will also be targeted at young users who need messaging devices, and will be available via Vodafone (which owns 44% of SFR).Microsoft News

Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two

Microsoft has announced its two Pink Project phones, initially known as Turtle and Pure. The official and final names of the handsets are Kin One and Kin Two.
Both phones are manufactured by Sharp and are targeted at social networking users. They come with a new homescreen called Kin Loop. Kin Loop is “always up to date and always on”, displaying feeds from various sources (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc) in one place.
Kin Studio is also a common feature of the new Microsoft devices. It “automatically backs up texts, call history, photos, videos and contacts” and lets you access them via any Web browser.
The Microsoft Kin One has a QVGA landscape touchscreen display, compact QWERTY keyboard, 3G, Wi-Fi, Media player powered by Zune, 5MP camera, and 4GB of onboard memory.
The Microsoft Kin Two has a HVGA touchscreen display and a bigger QWERTY keyboard. Moreover, the Kin Two features Wi-Fi, 3G, Media player powered by Zune, 8MP camera with HD video recording, and 8GB of internal memory.
Both devices are marketed as Windows Phones, but they don’t seem to run Windows Phone 7. Their cameras feature image stabilization and a bright LumiLED flash, which is reportedly 10x brighter than a normal LED flash.
Microsoft Kin One and Microsoft Kin Two will be available in the US via Verizon, starting May. Vodafone will bring the two phones in Europe in autumn (in Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK).Mobile News

Nokia Kinetic Concept Phone

While it might freak you out if you saw your mobile phone suddenly rise to a standing position if it was just sleeping on your table a few seconds ago, but that’s just the kind of thing that this designer thinks will get your attention. If the vibrating notifications and ringtones didn’t do it for you, this Kinetic Nokia concept design will use an electromagnet at the rather thick base of this device to shift the balance of the device so that it gradually rises or lowers itself. When a call comes in or a text message is received, the phone will gradually stand up, letting you know what it wants your attention, and if you don’t want to answer the call, just tap it to reject the call.Mobile News

The phone comes encased in an anodized aluminum case which makes the phone quite lightweight without compromising support. The Nokia N8 comes in a variety of colours, from neutrals to bright modern colours.

The Nokia N8 comes with some ports that are exclusive to it and are unable to found on any other smartphone. The N8 has an HDMI jack. This permits you to send media from the Nokia N8 to an HDTV. While this in itself is not unique, the capabilities of the feature are. For instance, the USB port has an On the Go function.

Security flaw bypasses iPhone lock screen




It looks like the iPhone lock screen provides just a marginal level of protection. [Jordand321] discovered a key combination that opens the contact app on a locked iPhone. Just tap the emergency call button, enter the pound sign three times (###), then tap call and immediately tap the lock key on the top of the phone. If this is confusing just look at the video after the break to see how it’s done.
You don’t get access to everything on the device. But this does give an attacker access to all of your contact data and allows that person to make any calls they desire.

Netflix coming to “select Android handsets” early 2011

If you’re an Android user that’s been a bit miffed by the lack of Netflix availability on the platform, then I have some good news for you: it should be coming in early 2011. However, I also have some bad news for you: it’s only coming to “select” handsets.
Select handsets? What’s the deal with that? Well, it seems that it’s Android’s lack of a strong, system-wide DRM/security system that’s been holding it back. Y’see, Netflix have to do a lot of hurdle jumping in order to appease the studios whose movies they distribute, and one of them is that the movies come laced with DRM.
So, without a standard DRM system on Android, what’s the solution? Only allow Netflix on devices where the manufacturers have worked closely with Netflix to enable a special DRM scheme on the handset.
Obviously, this isn’t ideal, and Netflix hope to eventually create a single, common DRM scheme that works on all Android handsets. In the mean-time, however, you’re just going to have to hope that your phone is supported.
There is no list of compatible phones or manufacturers just yet, but we’ll let you know when we hear something.

Dell Streak to get Froyo by month’s end

 
All you giant-handed Dell Streak owners rejoice! Dell have confirmed (via Facebook) that everyone’s favourite phone-that-thought-it-was-a-tablet will receive the update to (the soon to be deprecated) Froyo by the end of this month.
The update will roll out in the UK initially, with other regions (including the US) following shortly after.
Best of all, it will be delivered over-the-air, so all you have to do to upgrade is sit back and wait for the notification to appear on your device.
Dell have said that they hope to get the update out before the end of November, but there are different models requiring slightly different builds, so some people may not get the update before month’s end. If you haven’t got it by the end of this month, just hold tight, it’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming.
