Aishwarya highest paid Bollywood actress Rs.40 million
2008-03-18 18:07:00
Mumbai, March 18 (IANS) With Aishwarya Rai carrying home a pay packet of Rs.40 million for her proposed stint as Rajnikant's leading lady in Shankar's 'Robot', she has now become the highest-paid actress in Indian cinema.'Yes, it's close to Rs.40 million. And she's very amused when she reads that she is the highest-paid actress in Bollywood . With three hits in a row, 'Guru', 'Dhoom 2' and 'Jodhaa Akbar', Ash's equity as a Rai and a Bachchan have gone through the roof,' said a source close to Aishwarya.'It is no surprise that Aishwarya is getting Rs.40 million. It's still chicken feed compared with what Rajnikant carries home. He takes home Rs.150 million plus fifty percent of his film's profits. But still he cannot make a film commercially viable outside the Tamil belt on his own.'The dubbed Hindi version of 'Chandramukhi' came and went.

Playstation Now On iPhone and iPod Touch !
2007-12-11 21:46:00
The earlier emulator for iPhone used to control the touchscreen was so irritating that every the game used to get stuck in between..and some game's couldnt be played it was frustrating. So now this time we know that screen scaling will be improved, sound will be supported, there will be four face buttons and 75% of games will be compatible. It would be 1000% better if someone could hook up a wireless Bluetooth controller to the iPhone/iTouch to play this instead of smashing the screen with your fingers, covering up parts of the action.[Zodttd]

Apple Is Gonna Buy Nintendo, Adobe, TiVo
2007-12-11 19:26:00
In 2001 Apple bought education software company PowerSchool; in 2002 it went on a binge and snapped up audio production company Emagic, video effects company Nothing Real, and FireWire developer Zayante. (Apple?s acquisition record is mixed; it sold off PowerSchool last year and its FireWire technology has taken a backseat to USB 2.0, but audio and video software efforts have flourished.) It?s conceivable that Apple could use cash to buy its way into a new niche, like social networking or online collaboration.After discovering that Apple has $15 billion in cash just lying around, Ars Technica decided to take lots of drugs and suggest that Apple could be in the market to quite possibly buy Adobe , TiVo, or Nintendo . This is about as possible as Disney buying Exxon but heck, don?t let our cynical understanding of mergers and acquisitions stop you from imagining the wonderful iTiVmacbookphones that could come out of such an unholy union. When a company has ?$15 billion? it means it has ...
