BlackBerry 10 swipe-based predictive text comes to iPhone [video]

Research In Motion recently gave the world a preview of its next-generation BlackBerry 10 software. While investors weren’t terribly impressed with RIM’s efforts and the company’s stock took a hit, developers and users alike were intrigued by several features shown off by the struggling smartphone maker. One such feature is the predictive text implementation in BlackBerry 10, which places word predictions… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Boy Genius Report Discovery Date : 13/05/2012 22:08 Number of articles : 2

Might Paula Abdul Return to American Idol?

American Idol got a much-needed shot of adrenaline and entertainment this week, when Adam Lambert returned to the stage that made him famous. But ratings for season nine have plummeted, along with its enterainment value and overall talent level (no offense, Crystal Bowersox ). Especially because it will be competing with Simon Cowell’s The X Factor next year, the series needs to do something, it needs some kind of savior, it needs… Paula Abdul? Sources tell the latest issue of In Touch Weekly that “it’s a huge secret, but American Idol producers might be trying to woo Paula Abdul back to the struggling show.” Compared to when Paula was on the panel, viewership has fallen by approximately six million this season. That may have a lot to do with a lackluster set of finalists, of course, most of whom are the same type of singer. But with Simon departing, “they want Paula back,” an insider tells the tabloid. “They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her. People tuned in to see Paula’s wacky antics and her chemistry with Simon. The show is just not as much fun to watch without her.” Do you agree? Do you wanna see Abdul return to Idol?

The Verge: Emma Stone

The trajectory of Emma Stone’s young career is a steep one, spiking from her screen debut as Jonah Hill’s dream girl in Superbad (2007) to her iron-willed Wichita in last year’s Zombieland — both films that opened No. 1 at the box office. A couple of Stone’s films in between — The House Bunny and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past didn’t fare too poorly either. So the 21-year-old’s new film Paper Man arrives next week as a bit of a surprise (and not just because of its half-decade in development hell): A quirky, conscientious indie dramedy about writer Richard Dunn (Jeff Daniels) and the superhero imaginary friend (Ryan Reynolds) who exasperatedly shepherds him through the mid-life crisis blocking more than just Richard’s second novel. Stone plays Abby, a sardonic teenage loner with a suspicious pal of her own (Kieran Culkin) and an instant kind of psychic appeal to the struggling author. It may not be her biggest film role to date, but in the folds of her small-town inertia and the haunted past rolling across her face like cloud shadows, it’s inarguably her most dynamic. In addition to teasing the raunchy work her costars Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet performed in Untitled Comedy , Stone recently spoke with Movieline about falling in love with her role, hypothermia, catharsis, and why she’s not as intense an actor as you might think.

Glee Clip of the Week: Football Players as Single Ladies

A couple weeks ago, it was Lea Michelle possibly outsinging Rihanna with a version of ” Take a Bow .” This week, it was the William McKinley High School football team pulling an unusual play from its playbook: a pre-fly route dance to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” Due to its connection to pop culture, as well as its general awesomeness, we’ll often treat viewers to a clip from the Fox hit Glee . On the latest episode, the struggling football team came up with a way to distract its opponent just long enough to score the game-winning touchdown
