Mandy Moore’s Favorite Songs: Celebrity Playlist

 

Mandy Moore may have launched her career as another manufactured pop outfit from Florida but she’s serious about her music.
The multi-talented singer-songwriter and actress has a great number of influences ranging across several genres. Moore has demonstrated a fierce love of modern classics, often citing Joni Mitchell as her favorite singer, the namesake for her dog and her go-to source for audition songs. She’s also said she couldn’t live without Paul McCartney and The Beach Boys.








But Mandy’s also into today’s chart-toppers, too:She told that  Entertainment Weekly that she was so obsessed with Fleet Foxes, she decided to email the band’s frontman Robin Pecknold about a future collaboration: "“He was so nice  such a deep, intense music guy. He was really inquisitive about, ‘What kind of record is this?? What do you want to write about??’ Obviously he wouldn’t have been listening to my music. I just thought it was so cool of him. He said, ‘I’d love to, but we’re busy.’ I was such a nerdy fan, like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe he wrote me!’”"
Of course Moore is a fan of her husband Ryan Adams as well. She often tweets her gratefulness and jealousy over his songwriting skills, once writing, “been listening to my hubby write insanely beautiful music over the past few weeks. blows my mind at how easy he makes it look. the nerve!”

Scarlett Johansson And Justin Bartha Get ‘Flirty’

 

Scarlett Johansson split from industry spitfire Sean Penn just a month ago, it appears that she’s moved on with much younger talent. Page Six reports that Scarlett appeared “completely engrossed” in actor Justin Bartha at a cast dinner for “All New People,” the new off-Broadway play in which Bartha stars. She was also present at the play’s opening, and had her photograph taken with him backstage.
Some sources claim that Johansson  and  Barthaare “just friends,” but the two were also seen “flirting up a storm” at NYC’s Karaoke Boho over the weekend. And everyone knows that karaoke dates = love.

Justin Bartha is best known as for his role as the unfortunate groom-to-be in "The Hangover", as well as being the boyfriend of fashion maven Ashley Olsen for several years.
Although some sources indicated that Scarlett and Justin are just friends, the same was said about her friendship with Sean Penn before it turned romantic. Scarlett and Sean were together for about five months and split up in June and Justin recently ended a two-year relationship with Ashley Olsen.

MICROSOFT TOUCH MOUSE

Microsoft Hardware has designed a new computer mouse called Microsoft Touch Mouse which adds touch features on top of the usual mouse functionality.
The mouse looks like any other mouse albeit with a weird form factor on first glance. It offers no mouse buttons in the traditional sense of the word, only a touch interface that makes up the upper half of the mouse body.
The touch interface reacts to touches. It is possible for instance to left-click and right-click by taping the finger in the right locations on the mouse surface. Microsoft states that it can do everything that a normal mouse can do which would indicate that there should be an emulation of a middle-mouse button as well. That’s however not confirmed and not shown in any of the videos.
It uses BlueTrack Technology to work on virtually any surface without difficulties. The USB Nano transceiver can pick up signals at a 30-foot range.

here is the video showing how it works

LOCK YOUR PC WHEN YOU LEAVE THE ROOM

Have you wondered is there any app that can just lock off your computer without having to touch the keyboard?

Well, there is.

here is the application for you all

BtProx ( http://btprox.sourceforge.net/) is a free application that monitors the proximity of your computer to your cellphone or other bluetooth device . It will lock off your computer automatically, protecting its contents from prying eyes when the phone goes out of range which means you walk away from your computer. Obviously, you would take your cellphone you when you leave, wouldn't you? It will also unlock automatically when you return back, with your cellphone or other bluetooth device of course.

this is not all also with BtProx, you can set up an arrangement that automatically locks your computer and turns on the PC security system when you step away from the machine.

feel free to leave your comments...........

if you know some good applications you can write us at getw1531@gmail.com

WATCH 3D WITHOUT GLASSES

NOKIA E6

nokia's hottest new smartphone: the E6 is now available for pre-order on Nokia India's website. The Nokia E6 will be the first smartphone to come out with the latest iteration of Symbian i.e. Symbian Anna.

The NOKIA E6 will have a 2.46" display with pixel dimensions of 480x640 and will have an 8 MP camera capable of recording 720p video at 24fps. The phone has a physical QWERTY keypad with a capacitive touchscreen; though this is not one of those touch and type phones that the company has launched so far. The processor is clocked at 600 MHz like the previously launched QWERTY phone the E5, but the E6 comes with a 2D/3D graphics accelerator and a few other graphical enhancements. It also comes with 8 GB of built in storage.


The Symbian Anna operating system is said to improve a lot of the core features of the Symbian platform. While this might not be the perfect device to learn or test Symbian Anna's capabilities, it should give us a brief idea about some aspects of its functionality (given its relatively small form factor). We think that the yet to be launched Nokia X7 should give us an idea as to how Symbian Anna fares. That being said, nothing can be taken away from the E6. The spec sheet looks quite good and promises some thrills nevertheless. Dubbed as the business phone, your emails and messages will be taken care of with subtlety; the QWERTY keyboard helps the E6's cause here. You can pre-order the Nokia E6 from the Nokia India website.
