iPhone 3.0 Problems

The highly anticipated iPhone OS 3.0 is finally here. The 3.0 OS update will cost nothing for current iPhone owners and $10 for iPod Touch owners. With the release comes some problems that have been fixed and some extra features that people have been asking for, such as copy and paste.

The goods

You can now download the iPhone OS 3.0 update from the iTunes store. It became available at 10:10 A.M. and comes with a universal landscape mode and multimedia messaging. There is no support for MMS or text messaging right now. It will be available near the end of summer and currently, there is no explanation as to why Apple has not supported MMS yet.

Using bluetooth or the USB cord, apps can recognize and connect with other devices. The update also comes with a wider range of support for bluetooth. A couple more things is that the iPhone 3.0 OS now let’s you compose messages or text in the landscape mode and a global search feature.

Inside my brain

Keeping customers happy is a number one goal that many companies should aim for and Apple is doing that with the iPhone’s 3.0 OS. Apple doesn’t look afraid of the competition out there and isn’t falling for the hype of other cell phones coming on to the market, such as the Palm Pre.

By providing good customer service, that’s mostly what someone could ask for, right? It’s good that they have things like features and functionalities for a better user experience in mind. It’s just that Apple needs to allow for different carriers to have their iPhones! Let them play with the prices and let them get people to compete over which carrier is better. Competition for the iPhone between carriers could probably bring in more sales.

Scattered reports of iPhone OS 3.0 update problems

While the majority of commenters on CNET and around the Web are reporting success in downloading iPhone OS 3.0 Wednesday, there were scattered reports of problems.

My colleague Stephen Shankland, a CNET News reporter, tried several times to download the OS update around 12 p.m. Pacific to his iPhone and received the same error message, pictured above, each time.

A handful of CNET commenters reported problems accessing iTunes. "I see that the upgrade is now available, but four times the message I get after a couple of minutes is that the download has 'timed out,'" said one reader, and another reported, "Same issue here, cannot connect to the iTunes store to activate so the phone won't work."

A quick perusal of Twitter showed a smattering of people with the same issue.

This, of course, is a repeat of what happened last year, when Apple's iTunes servers couldn't withstand the barrage of traffic when customers tried to update to iPhone 2.0 software at the same time new iPhone 3G buyers were attempting to activate their phones.

Anyone else having problems with the update today?

Update 12:45 p.m. PDT: Reader Michael Samstag wrote in to say his iPhone was rendered unusable when he tried to install the update. "It has the 'connect to iTunes' message and will only allow emergency calls," he says. "I signed up for the 'Apple callback' for tech support and they called back and put me on hold for 20-minutes. Then the call got disconnected and now the earliest callback time is between 6:15 p.m. EDT and 6:30 p.m. EDT. So, I'm looking at having no cell for a minimum of three hours, probably longer."

Demi Moore Bush Picture

Demi Moore Bush Picture

So what about this Demi Moore Bush Picture?

It has been one of the hottest searches in the internet in the last few days. We all know about Demi Moore who is now living with Aston Kutcher happily. Demi Moore rises into prominence in the 80’s because of her beautiful personality and alluring body that she usually has attractive poses. Of course all of these were captured by a camera.

Demi Moore Bush Picture?

Is it really true that one time in the 80’s Demi Moore and the former president George W. Bush? How come this just really came out? Did the Democrats missed this to destroy his candidacy for the presidency? These are the questions that comes into our minds when we read or heard the words “Demi Moore Bush Picture”. You may really be shock if this is true. But it is not true at all.

Demi Moore Bush Picture is about Moore’s picture in the 80’s which is highly search today. It is truly difficult to understand why there are so many people searching it. Demi Moore is old enough to be attached to her. But we all know that the internet’s news or gossips are spreading virally. Demi Moore Bush Picture can still be searched.

Many are following Demi Moore and Aston Kutcher’s Twitter and yet they haven’t reacted yet on Demi Moore Bush Picture.

Demi Moore Bush Picture Becomes Hot Internet Search Phrase

Demi Moore Bush picture somehow became the top search item on the Web the last two days. A Demi Moore Bush picture might make one believe at first that Demi Moore met with President Bush somehow. But there is a cruder meaning to a Demi Moore Bush picture, of course. In this case, the idea of searching for a Demi Moore Bush picture came from television, as Comedy Central’s newest Internet based show gave tips to Web users everyone on how to find a particularly noteworthy “Demi Moore Bush picture”

Comedy Central’s new show Tosh.0 has comedian Daniel Tosh surfing the Internet for embarrassing, noteworthy items that Internet users can find and enjoy. In the second episode of Tosh.0 this Thursday, Tosh sent his viewers on a Google search for the term “Demi Moore George Bush”

Tosh then suggested to viewers to take the “George” out of the search term and see what happens. Many people did just that, turning “Demi Moore Bush” into the hot search item on Google.

When searching for this term, the first result that comes up is a webpage called “Downtown Alleys” with an article called “Demi Moore has a huge bush” The picture was posted in 2005, and is a picture of Demi Moore from the 1980’s, with one breast exposed, as well as full frontal exposure as well.

The shot of the full frontal in question - and the size of the search item in question - shows just why Daniel Tosh wanted his viewers to see it. And it appears he either has millions of viewers already, or that his precious Internet is quick to spread the word.

Demi Moore is no stranger to nudity or having fans see her nude, since she seemed to get naked at some point for half her films while she was a big star in the 90’s. But it wasn’t usually to this extent, and didn’t reveal quite so much as what this picture from the 80’s did.

The Internet has been a useful tool for Moore and husband Ashton Kutcher, given the massive following they have on Twitter. But this time, the Internet was used to dig up something embarrassing on Moore, or at least Daniel Tosh did with his Demi Moore Bush picture tips.

Comedy Central shows tend to have a lot of power on the Internet, as Jon Stewart’s big bits and interviews on The Daily Show are massive Web hits, and Stephen Colbert often orders his “Colbert Nation” to vote for his name to be put on things like the Space Station. But Comedy Central newcomer Daniel Tosh used the power of the web for vastly different, and cruder, purposes.

Megan Fox Leaked Photos

Megan Fox Leaked Photos

Leaked photos of Megan Fox were released to the tabloids a couple of days ago and it is rumored to be on the web in no time. The photos were actually from her upcoming movie, “Jennifer’s Body” in which she has a few semi-n*de scenes.

Unlike most celebrities, Megan Fox decided she wouldn’t sue the person behind the leaking of topless photos. In a statement Fox said, “I had booby stickers on. If I’d been actually topless, I would have sued someone… I know who, and I never did anything about it. It’s her karma to deal with, not mine.”

I’m always a little weary about situations like these. For some reason I think they are all part of the marketing plan to get us talking about the movie before it comes out. It’s almost like what they did with Christian Bale and his whole fiasco.

How technology has changed the way thing are. Today, it is easy to "leak" things out for the world to see, what with the power of the internet. Megan Fox has become the latest victim of leaking. Her topless photos were leaked into the internet by some guy who probably has nothing more daring to do. But the actress is not suing the person behind Megan Fox Leaked Photos, "She believes that karma will do the job for her. The ‘Transformers’ star was stunned to see her topless photos from her upcoming film Jennifer''s Body online - and immediately considered taking legal action."

Megan Fox’s “Leaked Photos” Not What They Look Like?

Apparently, Megan Fox “n*de” photos have been leaked onto the internet from her new movie Jennifer’s Body. The thing about the photos is that she is not naked. The photos supposedly show the Transformers star getting out of a lake wearing n*de-color undergarments.

Fox comments on the photos, “I had booby stickers on. They make these silicone stickers that go on over your nipple.”

Is all this hype over nothing? Fox was going to immediately take legal action but then decided against it, saying that karma will take care of it for her, and plus, she wasn’t really n@ked.

If she had actually been topless, Fox says, “I would have sued someone… I know who, and I never did anything about it. It’s her karma to deal with, not mine.”

In other news, Megan Fox has also being featured on the next cover of Entertainment Weekly, where she is dubbed the “next Angelina Jolie”. She despises the title and tells the magazine that she “is not the next anyone”. She comments furthur, saying, “I’m sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I’d be like, ‘Who the f**k is this little bullsh*t brat who was in Transformers that’s going to be the next me?’ I don’t want to meet her. I’d be embarrassed.”

If Megan Fox realized just how easily she can stir up the media, she might just be surprised… or not.

Emma Hemming and Bruce in W Magazine

Emma Hemming and Bruce in W Magazine

In an S&M-themed photoshoot for the July issue of W Magazine, on newsstands nationwide June 23, former action star Bruce Willis, 54, and his new wife Emma Heming, 32, open up about their young marriage and reveal, what Bruce calls, their public displays of affection.

“We’re sickening,” he explains. “We make out in public. I know there’s some rule that you’re not supposed to be doing—what is it? Public displays of affection?”

“PDA,” says Emma, who is a model.

“I went from ‘F*ck Love’ to ‘Love is truly the answer,’” he told the mag. “I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer. I would say, ‘I’m alone, but I’m not lonely.’ But I was just kidding myself. Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier.”

Their romance blossomed after just one date, Bruce willis adds.

“We went on one date, on the Friday before Emma was getting ready to move back to New York, and then we fell mad crazy in love,” he says. “When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it’s someone you already know.You think it’s someone you’re yet to meet.”

Bruce Willis Believes in the Power of Love

All you need is love – just ask love-struck actor Bruce Willis.

The tough guy, Die Hard bachelor once vowed to never marry again, but he admits he broke that decade-long promise immediately when he met his current wife, Emma Heming.

"I lasted one date," Willis, 54, says in the July issue of W magazine. "I went from 'F--- love' to 'Love is truly the answer.'"

After separating from Demi Moore in 1998, "I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer," he says.

"I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself," he adds. "Then I started hanging around Emma hemming, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier."

Since marrying Heming, 32, in March, Bruce admits, "We're sickening. We make out in public. I know there's some rule that you're not supposed to be doing – what is it? Public displays of affection?"

One of Willis's favorite things about his bride?
Just like Demi's husband Ashton Kutcher, she gets along great with the kids. Emma Heming says she adores her new role as "a stepmommy" and her "individual relationships with each of the girls."

"We've become like a tribe," Willis says of his newly integrated family. "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that.

"Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together. I still love her, and I have a lot of respect for how she lives her life."

David Carradine Death Photo

Thai newspaper publishes photo of David Carradine's body

The family of David Carradine has asked the FBI for help following the publication of a picture of the actor's body in a Thai newspaper.

Carradine's family members say they're "profoundly disturbed" by the publication of of the photo in Thai Rath, a tabloid newspaper in Bangkok. Carradine, 72, was found dead in his hotel room on Thursday, and Thai authorities say they've ruled out foul play.

The photo in Thai Rath shows a naked body hanging from a bar in a closet, the Associated Press reports. The hands are tied together above the head, and the feet are on the floor. The face is obscured.

Keith Carradine, half-brother of the "Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" star, says the family will take legal action if the photos are distributed more widely. Keith Carradine has also filed reports with the FBI that could lead to the bureau becoming part of the investigation, and the family also wants a second autopsy performed.

The photo that appeared in Thai Rath is probably a forensics shot taken during the investigation, Thai police say.

Mark Geragos, the family's lawyer, tells the AP that the family is taking action because they've received very little information from Thai authorities. "All we really know is not much more than what the public knows, and that's disturbing," he says.

FBI Can Look, But Can't Touch Carradine Case

David Carradine's family reached out to the FBI to assist police in Thailand with his death investigation -- but it doesn't look like the agency is gonna be able to make much of an impact.

Thai police Maj. Gen. Amnuay Nimmano told reporters, "If the FBI wants to get involved, we will do our best to cooperate..." and added it would have to be in an observer role as mandated by Thai law, the Huffington Post is reporting.

As of right now most of the evidence points to David's death as an a result of accidental asphyxiation -- especially since there's no evidence someone else was in the room at the time -- but the family isn't buying it.

Adrienne Bailon : American Eagle Girl

Adrienne Bailon is an American Eagle Girl

Adrienne Bailon can’t wipe the smile off her face as she leaves with two full bags from American Eagle Outfitters in New York City’s Union Square on Monday morning (June 1).

The 24-year-old singer took a much-needed break from recording her debut solo album for Island Def Jam. Adrienne has been working with chart topping producers including Rodney Jerkins, Brian Michael Cox, and The Dream.

Adrienne’s album is set to drop this fall.

Adrienne Bailon admits that L.A. Reid signs artists without even knowing if they can SING!

One of Def Jams latest signings Adrienne Bailon has opened up to Honey Magazine about her upcoming debut solo album and deal with Def Jam, admitting that label head L.A. Reid signed her without a proper audition.

She then went on to talk about a mix-up that happened when she finally got into the studio, revealing that she was given the wrong tracks to record because the label assumed she couldn't sing. "It's crazy because with everything I've done in the past people will doubt 'can she sing?'" reveals Adrienne "And even A&R people that were working at the label went into the studio and picked songs that they thought would fit me vocally, and then I got in there and they were like 'Wait a second...' and they went back to L.A. and said 'You didn't tell us she could sing' and he said 'I didn't really care if she could or not, I thought she was a star.'"

"That was huge to me" continued Bailon "because if you really think about it it's not the singing business, it's the entertainment business." The former Cheetah Girl then revealed that her album will drop in the fall, with the lead single being released in the Summer. She will also have her own reality show with MTV which will follow her as she records her own album and breaks out from her Disney child star persona into a woman.
