BET Interviews 2face Idibia on “Welcome To America”..

The “Welcome To America” special on BET International recently had a sit-down with another Nigerian music mega-star, 2face Idibia. 2face discuss several issues with Lola Ogunnaike. Watch the video below.

Lindsay Lohan, fresh from her latest stint in jail.

 Lindsay Lohan, fresh from her latest stint in jail, will appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Tuesday and in a last-minute addition to the lineup, the "Mean Girls" actress taped her appearance on Monday, but officials at the network declined to reveal what the two discussed.

Lohan was sentenced to four months behind bars on Friday for violating her probation, and jailed for about five hours before her legal team scrambled to post $75,000 bail. Her latest legal woes stem from the alleged theft of a $2,500 gold necklace while she was on probation for a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession incident.
Lohan was ordered to stand trial on June 3 but the jewelry charge was reduced to a misdemeanor from a more serious felony, and will cut to one year her maximum time behind bars if eventually convicted. In the meantime, Los Angeles judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that Lohan had violated her probation, and sentenced her to 120 days in jail and 480 hours' community service. Lohan's lawyer filed an immediate appeal as the actress was led away.

Body-language tricks to being attractive+Happy Easter to you guys..

You want the inside scoop on how to suzz out if someone has a crush on you? breed some feel-good vibes on a date, or even figure out whether that cute person sitting across from you is dying for a kiss...(YEA! A KISS) Believe it or not, the answers to all these questions and more can be found in the mysterious science of body language. Do you want to know? Then check the answers below.


1. Appear confident on a date even if you’re nervous inside. 
People who project confidence stand erect — shoulders up, chest out. Confident people also walk slightly more quickly than average, swinging their arms slightly like they’re in a march. The average blinking rate is 8 to 16 blinks per minute. If you slow yours to four, you give the impression you’re cool and in control. 


2. Show someone you’re interested.
With people we like and admire, we mirror their body behavior. If the date goes well, mirroring is something you’ll do naturally, but you can also intentionally mirror the other person’s gestures and posture. It may feel weird, but the other person will just think you’re getting along really well.


3. Recognize the signals that indicate someone is interested in you. 
Look for preening signals. Preening is what animals do to make themselves more attractive. In humans, some basic examples would be arranging your clothes, touching your hair, or stroking your arm. These signs may seem obvious, but people miss them all the time in a dating situation, especially men(from now on i will take note).


4. A confident man will catch a woman’s attention. 
When it comes to body signals, men don’t have a great range of options because in traditional courtship, women give the green lights and men make the approach. The best thing a guy can do is dress right, look confident in the ways I’ve mentioned and keep an eye out for a woman’s “green light” gestures. 


5. Be careful when initiating casual physical contact; you don’t want to look desperate or clumsy.
Men should brush the point of a woman’s elbow while they’re talking. Just give it a light touch, not a grab or a squeeze. Leave it there for no more than three seconds. She’ll be aware of it and her response will tell you how she feels. If she’s not enjoying the date, it will feel like you’re touching an electric wire. Women, on the other hand, should target a man’s hand and lower arm to capture his attention. 


6. Learn to harness some control over your own body language through role play. 
We actually recommend that people take home videos and role-play situations with friends. A lot of people don’t even know what they’re doing until you show them on film. Once you see what your habits are, you can make a determined decision to unlearn or improve them. 


HAPPY EASTER TO MY DYNAMIC VIEWERS!

Google Finally Hits Market With Own Groupon Clone!

Google has finally launched its Groupon competitor, Google Offers. At this point, Google is so late to the deals game that newspapers, magazines, coupon companies and a slew of other me-tooers have beat the search giant to the punch.There are so many Groupon clones today, a new breed of ad networks and exchanges has grown up to satiate the ever-expanding appetite for deals. With so many media companies following Groupon and LivingSocial's lead into the daily-deals market, at least a dozen companies are providing the technology and manpower to sell to local merchants. After all, BAI/Kelsey Group estimates the deals market will reach $3.9 billion by 2015. 

Google launched Offers yesterday with a YouTube video promoting the service. The beta test will first roll out in Portland, Ore., with more cities coming soon. While details are still slim, the service will launch with deals distributed via email. No mobile component appears imminent, besides an animated smartphone in the launch video. Meanwhile, since launching in November 2008, Groupon has already 60 million subscribers in more than 500 global markets with its email daily deals and has recently set its eyes on mobile deals with Groupon. Now and its recent acquisition of location-based service 'Whrrl'. Groupon and LivingSocial have raised a staggering $1.4 billion and $632 million, respectively, to expand globally as other well-funded competitors (ahem, Google) enter the space.

Report shows that Google would launch a Groupon clone emerged in January, after the deals service spurned a $6 billion-buyout bid from the search giant.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs Introduces iPad 42, 'Ultra-Magical' New 42-inch iPad!

At a special event held this morning at Apple headquarters, CEO Steve Jobs introduced an "ultra-magical, breathtaking, life-changing" new 42-inch widescreen iPad. The device, which he christened the iPad 42, capitalizes on consumers' rising use of tablet computers -- a market Apple has dominated since the introduction of the first iPad in early 2010. The latest iPad will retail for $1,699 when it goes on sale, first in the United States, on Sept. 22. An innovative origami-style cover, sold separately, allows it to be propped up at a 90-degree angle or even hung from a wall also the new iPad's relatively paltry battery life up to 40 minutes between charges the iPad 42 comes with a 100-foot MagSafe power cord."


Though reaction to the supersized iPad has been largely positive, particularly among gadget blogs including Gizmodo and Engadget, Apple's newest must-have device does have its detractors. New York Times tech columnist David Pogue, for instance, revealed that during advance testing, he broke a hip and killed a puppy when he dropped his iPad 42 review unit. His counterpart at The Wall Street Journal, Walt Mossberg, noted that in certain situations he had to suck in his gut to avoid interference with the device's 4G cellular connection.

Little Beetle 'Goes Big' With Event-Marketing Strategy!

The rounded shape of the Volkswagen Beetle might remind some of a bubble, but in many ways it's a halo. So it's all the more important for Volkwagen, which has promised to double its sales by 2013, to make a go of the new 2012 Beetle. "The Beetle will be one of the core volume models, but more than anything it will help drive interest and enthusiasm for the brand. A year after the Beetle was reintroduced in 1998, sales peaked at 83,434 units, according to Automotive News, but unit sales declined every year except 2003 (56,971 units), when the convertible was launched and again last year when sales rose 17% but only to 16,537 units, Automotive News figures show. 


 VW staged three events on the same day, Shanghai, Berlin and New York and is streaming a Black Eyed Peas concert tonight in conjunction with MTV World Stage. The ad theme for the 21st Century Beetle is "the glue," that will hold together the global-launch elements, which will be finessed in different markets around the world.

TOUCH OF GENIUS’ FOR 2FACE IDIBIA!

One of Africa’s biggest music acts 2face Idibia who has over the years, proved his worth with multiplatinum album sales, global awards and international recognition has added another accolade to his bag of titles as Touch of Genius bestows him with an honorary award.

Touch of Genius (TOG) is project inaugurated by talent management group Now Muzik in 2002 in an effort to celebrate icons in the Nigerian Music industry – people who against all odds have excelled and influenced a vast audience of music listeners and music makers. The first-ever edition ‘Touch Genius: Tribute album to the legendary Sir Victor Uwaifo’ was in honour of highlife music maestro Sir Victor Uwaifo for his remarkable achievements in his field of music. TOG went a step further by compiling a tribute album to the legendary musician.

The album, which contained excellent remixes of Uwaifo’s classic songs, featured many acts, including Paul Play Dairo, Orlando Julius, Latoya Aduke, Sunny Chichi of Africa, Kwame, DJ Jimmy JATT, Eno Louis, 6 Foot Plus, Megamob and Slick.Now Muzik in partnership with events centre Scintilla Events limited on Tuesday, April 12, 2011 unveiled its second edition titled ‘Touch of Genius: The 2face Idibia Tribute’ which will see Idibia, a Nigerian pop icon and beloved music-maker celebrated and honoured for his contribution to the music industry.

Adobe Makes Wired IPad Edition Free for a Month!

Wired is making the iPad edition of its May issue free to download for 30 days starting today, courtesy of a sponsorship from Adobe that the magazine hopes will help show off new sharing and shopping functions.
It's the latest promotion in which marketers give consumers free access to content that's normally walled, metered or otherwise paid. All month, for example, Volvo is underwriting free access to baseball games streaming on Apple devices, while Lincoln recently offered free passes to 200,000 of the people most likely to encounter the New York Times' new digital paywall.

In some ways Wired is catching up. IPad app editions for magazines including Bloomberg Businessweek, Popular Mechanics and ESPN the Magazine already allow sharing on Facebook and Twitter. Editorial e-commerce inside iPad editions, as opposed to functions that yank readers out of the app, is less common but still available from titles such as the Oprah Magazine.But Wired's iPad app has been particularly closely watched, largely because its editorial interests and its audience overlap so much with the early buyers for Apple's iPad. Its debut issue on the iPad sold more than 105,000 downloads, still perhaps the highest total, and certainly one of the highest, for any regularly priced magazine issue on the iPad.

The Wired app now lets readers post links to its articles on Facebook and Twitter, even if they haven't been posted on Wired's website yet or, in the case of app edition exclusives. The links lead back to specifically created web pages that will encourage consumers to download the issue.

Do you know!

I was trying to get somthing new, then i came across Microsoft Bing which introduced its app for the iPad, available for free in the App store. Designed from the ground up for touch, the app sets out to combine the idea of "search" and "exploration." Its interface mimics the same homepage you'd find on your desktop browser, but also includes voice search and a finger-friendly app bar that provides instant access to popular searches like weather, news and trends.

HipHop Chartwatch for March 30, 2011!

We don’t usually include R&B in the top 50, but when they crack into the top ten they get recognized. This week the top two artists just happen to qualify for the top ten mentions. Despite all of the Good Morning America drama (or maybe partially because of it) Chris Brown enters the charts at number one with his fourth studio album F.A.M.E. The headline grabbing artist moves 270,000 copies of F.A.M.E. this week. Look at him now. Chris takes all the credit this week!



He is followed by Booby V, the artist formerly known as Bobby Valentino. This week Bobby’s fourth studio album, Fly on the Wall, moves 38,000 copies and takes the number nine spot. That brings us to our first Hip Hop artist, Lupe Fiasco, whose latest album, Lasers, lands at the number 10 position on the countdown. This week Lupe sells 29,000 copies of his third studio album bringing his totals to around 280,000. For those that can’t wait for the video to “Words I never said” (Is there going to be a video?) here is Lupe performing at MTV’s spring break.

Below is one of the first singles, “On My Level” featuring Too Short.

E-40 might be one of the hardest workers in Hip Hop today. Back in 2010 he released two albums on the same day entitled Revenue Retrievin’: Day Shift and Revenue Retrievin’: Night Shift. He returns this week with Revenue Retrievin’: Overtime Shift and Revenue Retrievin’: Graveyard Shift. Each album has 20 tracks and, overall, the features include B-Legit, J Stalin, Dr. Cornell West, Devin the Dude, T-Pain, Tech N9ne, Bun B, Slim Thug, and others.

Can Nintendo Keep 3DS Sales Hot After Reaching Core Gamers?

If your child has a Nintendo handheld game, get ready to be pestered for another one but this time in 3-D (WOW) for the kids. Nintendo's 3DS, unlike current 3-D TV and movie screens, can be played without wearing special glasses (COOL). Players can also personalize the technology by taking 3-D photos and inserting those images into games. Its sales so far are not only record-breaking, but a lot of the devices are being bought by people who already own a DS.

Analysts estimate Nintendo will have shipped 4 million 3DS machines by the end of March, just weeks after its Japan launch, and only one week into its U.S. debut. By comparison, the instant sellout Nintendo Wii console shipped just 3 million units in 45 days. Nintendo did not release numbers yet, but characterized sales as a best-ever launch in the U.S. "U.S. day-one sales numbers for Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo handheld system in history. 

Reviews have been generally good as well, extolling the 3-D technology, although complaints about short battery life and a weak title launch portfolio of games have also been noted. One well-known technology writer, John Dvorak, even asserted that the 3DS could be the catalyst to widespread 3-D adoption, and predicted an Apple 3-D iPhone that would benefit from Nintendo's breakthrough success.

I need to go get one and go get one too!!
