Weekend Box Office : The number one goes to the wolves

Weekend Box Office: Number One Goes To The Wolves image

Surviving a crash, surrounded by hungry wolves in a hard, cold. Sounds almost like a metaphor for what a lot of movies at the box office is experiencing in recent times, but was the subject of the latest offering from Liam Neeson, who also happened to be the number one movie in theaters this weekend .
The Grey Neeson made a solid debut with $ 20 million. That's a step backward for director Joe Carnahan, whose last film, 2010 The A-Team (also starring Liam Neeson) opened at $ 25 million. Still, it's a respectable opening for a movie in January with nothing to do but Liam Steel prominent eyes calling angry audiences in the trailer, which promises. Some good action and excitement
Stephanie Plum, which was lovely novels consumers of cheese, pasta in mystery for years, finally reached the big screen this weekend in the form of Katherine Heigl in One for the money. With something of a built-in fan in the audience might have been some hope for a solid weekend, but after a beating at the hands of critics and some fans settled for only $ 11 million and ranked number three. His reported $ 42 million budget seems a little high for something so simple, but even more remarkable that makes the film a jolt of profitability, which could mean the end of the franchise before it even had time to start.
Sam Worthington career headlining continued success to fail this weekend. After three rolls of high visibility and success in dairy cows Terminator Salvation, Avatar and Clash of the Titans (2010), Worthington has made two films in wide release failed to open above $ 10 million. Man on a ledge, which was pushed by critics to go ahead and jump, took a miserable place fifth with only $ 8 million.
After nearly three months in the small to medium release, The Descendants of George Clooney finally opened wide (an expansion conveniently arranged to follow the announcement of Oscar nominations. The film is already something of a financial success that has earned $ 51 million during his long career small release, but showing in 2000 theaters only added another $ 6 million this weekend. That's $ 1 million less than it made its second weekend out in November when he was in only 390 theaters. I guess all the Oscar nominations are not the salary of gold waiting for.

Taiwan and New Zealand rose. European leaders will meet later on Monday in Brussels to discuss the austerity and belt-tightening measures and a tentative agreement reached Saturday between Greece and the private investors could avoid a disastrous Greek default on its debt.
If the offer is and works, which will help to avoid the risk of electric shock to the global banking system. But not resolve weakening economic conditions in Greece and other European nations, and to control spending to get your debt under control.
Stan Shamu at IG Markets in Melbourne, said that "Greece's debt problems will remain a source of uncertainty and could slow down the mood of risk before the EU summit today."
Under the agreement, investors with € 206 billion ($ 272 million) in bonds Greeks bonds in exchange for half their face value. Replacement bonds have a maturity longer and pay a lower interest rate.
The agreement would reduce annual interest expense of Greece approximately 10 million euros to around 4 million euros. When the bonds mature, Greece would have to pay its bondholders only 103 million euros.

Modern humans first settled in Arabia '

First modern humans `settled in Arabia`

Scientists claim to have found vital clues that indicate that modern humans first settled in Arabia on their way from the Horn of Africa to the rest of the world.

An international team led by Leeds University in Britain and the University of Porto in Portugal, said that genetic analysis has been used in research for clues about human migration over 60,000 years ago.

"An important question unanswered regarding the dispersal of modern humans around the world refers to the geographic location of the first steps out of Africa.

"A popular model predicts that the early stages of the dispersion is carried out through the Red Sea to southern Arabia, but direct genetic evidence has been thin on the ground," said team leader Dr. Luisa Pereira University of Porto.

In fact, in his research, the team analyzed three of the first non-African maternal lineages. These first branches are associated with the period of time that modern humans successfully for the first left Africa.

Using mitochondrial DNA analysis, which follows the female line of origin, the scientists compared the complete genomes of Arabia and the Middle East with a database of hundreds of samples from Europe. They found evidence of ancient ancestry within Arabia.

Team member Professor Martin Richards of Leeds University said: "The timing and pattern of migration of early modern humans has been a source of much debate and research.

Our new results suggest that Saudi, rather than North Africa and Near East, was the first staging post in the spread of modern humans around the world. "

Germany, the hotbed of some of the musicians to make way, the world, including Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Karlheinz Stockhausen seems to be gradually changing its approach to indigenous issues.

How else can we explain this tribute to composer AR Rahman by renowned German Film Orchestra Babelsberg? The orchestra was founded in 1918 with more than 3,000 scores to his credit as Metropolis in 1924 for Anonymous in 2011.

Rahman not only writes the soundtrack for the movies, but up around the country and that is why his music to be described as melodic and expressive piece of art in the country. "

So what the public can expect to hear in concert? "There will be more than a hundred members of the German Film Orchestra, members of the Conservatory Choir Rahman, renowned soloists along with director Matt Dunkley, and the line includes scores of classic Rahman Roja, Bombay, Swades and Endhiran concerts cases.

Incantations classic - the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg AR Rahman performs. "

Germans are well versed in the music of Mozart of Madras? "Although the music of India is of very popular back home, many young people love to associate with him Rahman and the issue of Bombay, which is very famous there. There is a circle of fans Rahman Slumdog Millionaire Germany and has only bigger. So what Rahman opinion about the tribute: "I can not speak for it, you'll have to ask about it"? says Klaus.

Talking about future plans for the orchestra, Klaus adds: "After the tour, we will celebrate the centenary of the Studio Babelsberg and goes on a world tour.

If 2011 was the year of the tablet, then 2012 will ultrabooks try to corner market share. The new, slim, beautiful-looking machine will try to steal back the slate he tore away from netbooks, laptops and PCs over the past two years. For some time now, laptops have languished in terms of design aesthetics. They are thick, heavy plastic and manufactured. No wonder the form factor easily succumbed to the call slim tablet.

Facebook to release $ 10 billion share offer

Facebook homepage

Facebook will begin the process of becoming a publicly traded company this week, valuing the social networking site at between $ 75 billion (£ 48 billion) and $ 100 billion, reports suggest.

The company plans to file documents with the U.S. financial supervision, on Wednesday, the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Flotation later this year would raise about $ 10 billion, they reported.

It would be one of the biggest sales of shares seen on Wall Street.

It would dwarf the $ 1.9 billion raised by Google at its IPO in 2004.

However, it would still be some way short of the $ 20 billion raised by automaker General Motors in November 2010.

"A brilliant achievement"
Reports suggest that Morgan Stanley will be the lead agency for the sale, with Goldman Sachs also expected to be heavily involved.

Facebook rumors of so-called initial public offering (IPO) have been circulating for months, and the company maintained that it will not comment on the subject.

The value reported would be the one of the largest companies in the world by market capitalization of Facebook.

"Facebook a brilliant achievement, but $ 75 - $ 100 billion would make Apple look really cheap," said Rupert Murdoch on Twitter.

The company was started by Mark Zuckerberg and other students at Harvard University in 2004 and has quickly grown to become one of the most popular sites in the world.

It makes most of its money through advertising.

As a private company, Facebook does not publish its accounts, but reports in January last year proposed a document sent by Goldman Sachs to its customers has led the firm made ​​a net profit of $ 355 million revenues of $ 1.2 billion for the first nine months of 2010

Sony Xperia beautiful S can land on AT & T


A phone that Android looks really great he arrived in the distant future, Sony Xperia is beautiful S is likely to hit the airwaves AT & T.
New reports say the Xperia S made ​​its way through the FCC approval with a quad-band GSM / UMTS / HSPA radio (850, 900, 1900, 2100MHz). Tech blog Engadget as deduced, which sounds much like the Xperia S is for the AT & T and, unfortunately, no T-Mobile.
It's a real disappointment, since all handsets these days seem to be hot landing at Verizon or AT & T: Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Razr Maxx Droid, Droid 4, 900 Lumia Nokia, and Sony Xperia Ion. Add to that the Xperia S, which is a T-Mo customer to do, but an unlocked device nab the experience a little love gadget?
To be fair, it becomes increasingly difficult to design a smartphone that stands out from the growing crowd of Android. Sony, however, beat the odds with the Xperia S. It is distinctively styled with a glowing light strip on the base. The 12-megapixel camera phone sounds appealing, too. I just hope that the glory days of the legendary T-Mobile phones like the G1, G2, and even Galaxy S II are not at an end.

Google dominates the Indian space Android App


Leading Android apps

It is not surprising that the platform of Google Android platform has proven to be the most budding. It is also the case in the market price of slightly more sensitive Indians. Apple iOS based iPhone and iPad are still quite expensive for general public consumption in the Indian market, but this is not the case with Android. Nielsen, a research firm published a blog indicating that Google also happens to dominate the land mobile app in India. The report states that the Indians smartphone users tend to spend about 40 percent of their time using data applications. Of all the applications on the market space, the majority of 25 percent are made by Google.

Lead Android apps

The application of the most widely used portfolio of Google Android Market is surprisingly followed by Gmail and Gtalk and then the rest. The most popular soft on the other side is not a Google, however. Facebook, the social networking service launched their application on Android and iOS quite sometime back and Android is the most popular software today. Nimbuzz is also included in this list and it is the second most popular application of social networks around, used primarily for the cat. In terms of other classes of applications, GPS, video, e-mail and research applications dominate the field.
Amount of time spent
Amount of time spent

In terms of time, applications dominate the Google search, GPS, e-mail and video streaming sections. Other third party apps are preferred app developer to the extent that applications and social networking chat are concerned. For example, 99 percent of social networking applications are not used Google Base. It is not as if Google + application mobile has taken off in India. It's the same with the cat, where only 7 percent of the time is devoted to applications based Google chat. The Nielsen report also details age groups and the use of popular Google Apps, you can find on the blog post Nielsen report. The report does not really have other applications in other platforms, it is difficult to conclude whether it is the most popular applications in the Indian market today. However, considering how Android is these days, one can assume that it is.

Twitter censorship move with eyes on China?


Twitter, a social network very popular microblogging, has said that "if required by law" can block the tweets in a given country. In a post titled 'Tweets still must flow, "Twitter, which has around 300 million users, wrote on her official blog:" Starting today, give us the ability to retain reactive content for users in a given country, while remains available in the world. "

Following the execution in the last years of government Internet sites like Google, Yahoo! and Facebook on certain user-generated content, this was interpreted by many as the accommodation of Twitter growing concern of various governments on the need to regulate user-generated content social networking sites, and found that in contrast to the "stubborn" position of Google and Facebook.

However, some experts wonder whether the position of Twitter was really different from Google or Facebook. "Google and Facebook have said they would remove the content if ordered by the courts, and Twitter is also saying that you can block tweets if required by the law," one expert said. "When laws are codified, as in Germany and France on the pro-Nazi propaganda, Twitter can block the pro-Nazi proactively tweets. However, in countries like India, where laws are not as specific, this will be done reactively, based on court orders. That's all Twitter is saying. "

In his blog, Twitter said it has added the feature to block content depending on the region because it will go into "countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression." He cited the example of Germany and France: "Some countries are so different from the ideas that we will not be able to exist there others restrict certain types of content such as France and Germany, banning pro-Nazi content .."

Twitter said if "we are obliged to retain a tweet in a specific country, we will try to let the user know, and clearly marked when the content has been hidden." Also publish detailed information about blocked content on the website Chilling Effects, a joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and law departments of several major U.S. universities.

However, the movement is more likely to be asked of course Twitter plan to enter China, a country with the largest number of Internet users. The service is prohibited in the Asian country since 2009. With its new technology would be able to block tweets that the Chinese government offensives without raising hackles global audience.

Twitter said that so far has not used the new technology. "But if and when they are required to retain a tweet in a specific country, we will try to let the user know, and clearly marked when the content has been hidden," the company said.

Pranesh Prakash, an official of the Center for Internet and Society, called to step into the "balkanization of the web". "The region-specific blocking was already used in the web hosting sites like YouTube and Hulu, where due to the wishes of the owners of copyright many videos are not available in India. Twitter is to extend this technology to their tweets, "he said.

While some governments seek to regulate the web, the demand for specific content filtering and blocking the region has grown. Last month, Google and Facebook asking to filter "objectionable material", the Minister Kapil Sibal Telecommunications said, "We must take care the sensitivity of our people. Cultural ethos is very important to us."

Twitter became a household name in India last year, thousands of demonstrators are used to spread the word about Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement. In countries like Egypt and Tunisia, which was used by the protesters in their fight against oppressive regimes. Prakash added that in the past, the website had resisted attempts to censor tweets. "Last year, when the U.S. government requested detailed information about a user, Twitter challenged in court," he said.

The Kapoor gal has plans in place post-Shaadi. When asked if it will work at the same rate as it does today, she says candidly, "My career will always be the way it is. The work is my passion.
