HTTP:: Weekend Reading Looking to the Cloud for Guidance

Two services coming in the next year promise gamers the ability to play the latest titles even though they do not have a top gaming computer. OnLive will be installed as a client and will stream only graphics, sound and movement to the player’s computer while the videogame will be running on a distant server. Gaikai will be offered as a service to publishers, allowing them to deliver full games or sections of them, playable directly in a browser from a designated website. Both services are based on the idea of “cloud computing†and looking to the public for approval and feedback in beta stages.The problem is that the PC has been here before. During the dot com bubble of the late '90's, a lot of people were talking about how soon computers would become just “dumb terminals,†which would receive all the graphics and data from far away server clusters that would do the hard work needed to crunch data and get results.

HTTP:: Jennifer s Body Disappoints Critics Say
--------
For the past several months, fans of the horror genre and not only have been literally bombarded with information and juicy details on what was supposed to be a film that would revitalize the genre and bring some spunk back into it, “Jennifer’s Body.†Written by Oscar-winning Diablo Cody and starring Megan Fox and Amanda Sayfried, the flick was supposed to be a very smart piece that would be both funny and terrifying at the same time. Instead, it’s just disappointing, critics say. “Jennifer’s Body†opened in select US theaters this Friday and, as it usually happens, the first reviews for it have already surfaced. At best, they say the flick is entertaining without having too much substance or, for that matter, something to cling onto. In other words, “Jennifer’s Body†is a good way to spend the time â€" but by no means memorable.

For the past several months, fans of the horror genre and not only have been literally bombarded with information and juicy details on what was supposed to be a film that would revitalize the genre and bring some spunk back into it, “Jennifer’s Body.†Written by Oscar-winning Diablo Cody and starring Megan Fox and Amanda Sayfried, the flick was supposed to be a very smart piece that would be both funny and terrifying at the same time. Instead, it’s just disappointing, critics say. “Jennifer’s Body†opened in select US theaters this Friday and, as it usually happens, the first reviews for it have already surfaced. At best, they say the flick is entertaining without having too much substance or, for that matter, something to cling onto.

Nokia's newly unveiled Maemo-powered Nokia N900 Internet Tablet has recently been rumored not to allow for carriers to make their own customizations on the handset's user interface, and Nokia steps up now to say that things are actually the other way around. Mobile phone operators around the world will have the opportunity to change the Maemo UI to fit their needs, although we should say that users might not be attracted to the idea too much.“It would be absolutely incorrect to assume that we will not offer operators the ability to tailor future Maemo devices to suit their needs,†is what an article on Nokia Conversations states. This puts an end to the rumors, which, by the way, were reportedly based on something that people from Nokia said, and might also suggest that the company has in mind a future carrier deal. “As we have said over the past couple of weeks, our plan with Maemo is to focus on the consumer experience â€" integrating applications and services from !

The A-listers that were supposed to take the stage at the special concert were Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige and the legendary Natalie Cole, among others.

With the new owners announced just last week, Skype is already starting to make changes, but that doesn't always mean they're for the better. In fact, the first move is to axe Skype's effort to create a third-party app environment that the Skype Extras Developer Program launched with much enthusiasm a couple of years ago. The company says that the program never gained any real popularity with users, making it take the decision to stop supporting any new apps. Existing “Extras†will still be available until they expire. “For many years, the Skype Developer Program has offered a wide range of tools that allow third-party developers to create hardware and software that work with Skype.

HTTP:: NPD Software Madden NFL 10 Rules the Chart Batman Close
--------
It takes a courageous publisher and a very solid videogame to compete in August in the North American videogame market, as this is the time frame in which, normally, Electronic Arts puts out the annual installment of Madden NFL 10, the American football franchise that is one of the main money makers for the company. So, it's no surprise to see the sports title at the top of the videogame sales chart but the overall make up of the top ten is pretty interesting nonetheless.The Xbox 360 version of Madden NFL 10 has sold 928,000 copies since launch, while the PlayStation 3 version sold 665,000 units, taking first and third place. Overall, the videogames managed to move close to 1.9 million units on all the platforms, with GamesIndustry.biz reporting that it sold just 67,000 on the Wii and 80,000 on the PSP. Second place in the chart went, again unsurprisingly, to Wii Sports Resort from Nintendo, which moved 754,000 units to gamers.The other big game of August has been Batman: A!
rkham Asylum from Eidos, recently bought by Square Enix. The two versions of the game held number 4 and 5, with the Xbox 360 version selling 303,000 units, and the PS3, 290,000.

The world knows that Victoria Beckham, the former singer, occasional actress and promising fashion designer is also known for, aside her now-infamous pout, her trademark slender frame. Many a joke has been made in the media regarding it, including that her favorite snack is watercress sandwich (hold the bread, the cream cheese and the butter). However, in a new interview with Now Magazine, the star insists her diet is extremely healthy, no matter what people say. As fans must already know, Mrs. Beckham has often been criticized for silently encouraging and supporting size-0 models with her slender frame. At the same time, she’s said to be so skinny that her fashion creations, for instance, can only be worn by someone like her, most likely a runaway model. Still, this is not because she doesn’t eat, Posh says in the latest interview, but simply because her body has changed and continues to do so as she’s growing older. “Of course I eat.†Victoria says of the cr!

HTTP:: Lindsay Lohan Becomes Artistic Advisor for Ungaro
--------
As Lindsay Lohan continues to believe â€" and complain â€" that the kind of media attention she gets for every mundane gesture she does, including going out to lunch or simply for a coffee, has ultimately ruined her acting career, fashion giant Ungaro wants her precisely because of it. Emanuel Ungaro has tapped Lohan to be the brand’s “artistic advisor†in an attempt to pave the way to a much-needed brand rejuvenation, WWD informs. Along with Lohan, Ungaro also brings along a relatively new designer, the Spanish Estrella Archs, who will reportedly try to bring some luster into the upcoming collections. However, Lindsay is expected to do the most in the upcoming initiative meant to put Ungaro back on the map and high up in people’s preferences, simply because of the kind of frenzy she’s capable of generating without even doing something truly important. As they often say in the media, bad press is better than no press at all, WWD also points out. “Odds are it !
could work.†Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, tells WWD about the prospect of seeing the Ungaro name associated with the millions of Internet searches for Lindsay Lohan. “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lind...

Madden NFL is a huge franchise and its performance is a clear indicator of how well the videogaming industry is doing overall and how well Electronic Arts is doing in a particular year. So, with the game moving about 1.9 million copies in August, with a life time on shelves of about two weeks, Madden NFL seems to be little affected by the slump. But it seems that the leadership of Electronic Arts is displeased. When compared to the release of Madden NFL 2009, the situation is anything but rosy. In 2008, sales on the Xbox 360 crossed the 1 million unit threshold, while those on the PlayStation 3 were about 22,000 units higher than in 2009. But the real losses are on the PS2, the Nintendo Wii and on the PSP. The older Sony home console managed to draw sales of 424,000 in 2008 and of only 162,000 in 2009.
