The Week We Were Stuck in an Elevator with The Internet [Week In Review]


This week, everyone had awards fever, imaginary orphans were adopted, and famous scientist Jenny McCarthy was proved wrong about something.


There is a right way and a wrong way to convince people your cars won't kill them. Justin Timberlake pretended to be the King of Facebook and flipped everyone the bird. Scientologists are raking it in in Haiti. (And we had a first-hand account.) Now Anonymous is on the way to fight them or something. Hollywood tricked the hedge funds out of their imaginary money. Meredith Vieira was befuddled by guidos. Vanity Fair's New Hollywood girls have bright careers ahead of them, except for the ones who don't. We watched a talking point grow from an ACORN to an Oak Tree. We attempted to predict the Oscar nominations! (And then we examined the real ones.) We applied advanced mathematics to the question of whether you should watch Sliding Doors on basic cable. A pauper tricked a blog into thinking he was a prince. We made fun of the kids today. Ann Curry was stuck in an elevator with the internet for an hour. Meg Whitman's son has a wonderful job with his mom's campaign. Lloyd Blankfein's sons also have wonderful jobs at Goldman Sachs. Anna Wintour's weird pretend charity event will soon be weird pretend TV! Richard summarized Lost from memory. (Oh, man, WTF was up with Fake Locke?) Everyone will try to come back, but who will succeed? A guy did the worst thing in the world and put it on Facebook. We explained how to do The Daily Show. Vaccines still don't cause autism. Some kids from Vermont attempted to hack their way into Fashion Week. Brian wrote up a contract for straights and gays to get along. We want Snooki to never change. Doree explained the secret nicknames of the literary elite. Hamilton examined 5W's made-up celebuquotes. Anderson Cooper was briefly going to adopt a Haitian baby but then he didn't. An Iraq hero is maybe a fraud. Lady Gaga's private parts continued to divide the internet. Let's give The Enquirer a Pulitzer: it's what Joe woulda wanted. TV needs newer, better Gay Characters. Katie Couric looks great! We asked where Jersey Shore should go. Washington DC is going to be buried forever under snow tonight. David Paterson might be even more interesting and hilarious that we thought. We watched both nights of Jon Stewart on The O'Reilly Factor, but the real fun didn't come until Bill put the whole thing on the internet. And we watched TV! Like Big Love, Kell On Earth, RuPaul's Drag Race, American Idol (which is finally going to Hollywood!), The Real World, Project Runway, and Real Housewives of Orange County.

How to find ideas to post new article in your blog    阅读原文»   It is true that sometimes being a blogger may face situations where I would personally like to call it your brain juices got dried up as you have pretty much ran out of topic to blog and you are in crisis as your readers are anxiously waiting for your new posts but you are unable to give in.

Over A Year After Android Launch, ShopSavvy Finally Comes To The iPhone

ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications. It launched in October of last year after winning one of the initial Android Developer Challenge top prizes (when it was still known as GoCart). But despite the success it has seen on Android, one question remained: When would it be available for the iPhone. Today, it finally is. Developed by the guys at Big In Japan , ShopSavvy is an app that allows you to use your device as a portable barcode scanner. You point your phone's camera at any barcode and it will read it, do a product look up, and give you information about the product, as well as where you can find it online or at nearby stores and for how much. Obviously, something like this is a window shopper's dream. ShopSavvy was one of the best early Android applications.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left." Deadpan gallows humor: the only possible response to having Courtney Love as a client. (Besides asking for a hefty retainer.) [ P6 ] Before Lauren Conrad's contract expired in March, MTV
