An American Idol that is. He may not have won first place last year, but David Archuletta certainly got our attention with his awesome songs and boyish looks. Well, he certainly mesmerized one of our designers :p
Check out our extensive interview with him in our May issue! Look how cute he is!
We got up close and personal with Little Nonya star, Andie chen recently and got quite a mouthful from him. Check him out in our May issue and find out how much of a gamer (hint: a lot) he is and how he plans to celebrate Mother’s Day.
We know you can’t wait, especially all the fans of Little Nonya 
Batman may be one of the coolest superhero of all time, but one cannot ignore the fact that the Joker is one of those villains that actually manages to steal the limelight. This we can see in the Dark Knight, presented with an astounding performance by the late Heath Ledger.
With that, good news for PS3 owners, cause the upcoming Batman game, Arkham Asylum will feature an exclusive playable Joker. The psychotic villain can be used in challenge maps from the game.
Sounds like a big one-up over for the PS3 over the Xbox. Arkham Asylum will feature intense action with the black caped crusader stuck in the asylum with the Joker intent on killing him and then unleashing hell on Gotham City.
We can only hope what exclusive features the Xbox may get. Robin perhaps? Yeah, that would help.

With regards to the recent post about Apple hitting one billion apps downloads soon, the one billionth app has indeed been downloaded by the one and only Connor Mulcahey, age 13, of Weston, CT.
As a prize, Connor will be getting a $10,000 iTunes gift card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule and a MacBook Pro.
It seems like the iPhone is here to stay. First revolutionizing mobile phones and then introducing the groundbreaking App Store.
Congratulations Connor Wish I could download some random thing one day and be rewarded for it myself

If you’ve missed all the fanfare, Samsung have just kicked off their new line-up of flat panel TVs with their annual AV Roadshow, and their ‘new species’ LED TV’s headline an awesome act of over 60 products!
As we all know, the App store has been doing really well, featuring a ton of applications(more than twenty thousand) and earning people buckets of money from cashing in on it.
But lo and behold, an app just got itself banned, from Apple itself. You know it’s gotta be big considering that Apple stepped in themselves.
The app which was pulled out was a sick game exploiting the accelerometer function of the iPhone, in which you shake the phone until the virtual baby… erm, dies. Yeah, as indicated by the red Xs. Whoever thinks infanticide, virtual or not is cool must be retarded.
Whether you gots da skills or not, you can now download the Paul Van Dyke iPhone app!
It’s actually pretty cool. It includes a BPM counter, frequency, Analyser, Decibel Meter, Seismic Reader, Virtual Glow Stick(zomg!), DJ Check List and an Itinerary Manager.
I don’t really know what the heck all those are, but hey, being a DJ is always cool.
