Today while using StumbleUpon, I came across this video on Funny Or Die. It shows Seth Rogen talking to Jimmy Kimmel a couple of years ago about an incident a couple years prior, in 2007, when Megan Fox and him were both on the show. As Fox was walking onto the stage, she said hello and gave a kiss to Jimmy Kimmel, but did not do the same for Rogen. Be sure to click on the link below to watch this funny video. (Also, ignore the fact that the person who uploaded it misspelled Rogen's last name.)

Harold Camping Corrects His Prediction for the End of the World

Credit: www.goddiscussion.com
Today Yahoo! News posted an article written by Garance Burke of the Associated Press about Harold Camping's revised prediction. The preacher from California who had predicted the Rapture to occur on May 21, 2011, stated that they misunderstood what the date really meant. According to Burke, Camping claims that May 21 was a "spiritual" Judgement Day, but that the real end would come on October 21, 2011.

Camping believes that his new prediction is accurate, but Tim LaHaye, one of the authors of the Left Behind series of books, pointed out a Bible verse in opposition of Camping's prediction. LaHaye was referring to Matthew 24:36, which states, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

Burke's article discusses Harold Camping and his prediction in more depth. Be sure to click the link below to read the entire article and to watch the video of Harold Camping.

It contained the Twitter hashtag #TheFireRises. Upon tweeting that hashtag, more and more pieces of the image were revealed until eventually the whole picture was available.

Grave Encounters

Credit: The Vicious Brothers
A couple weeks ago, I came across the trailer for this film, Grave Encounters, by The Vicious Brothers. It seems to be in keeping with the found footage genre made popular by movies such as The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. Grave Encounters follows the crew of a reality television show into Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital in their search for paranormal presences.

This film was released at the Tribeca Film Festival, but it's unclear as to when it will receive a wide release. Hopefully the wait won't be too long since I cannot wait to see this movie.

Happy 10th Birthday to the Apple Store!

Credit: Apple
Today on Yahoo! Finance, The Daily Ticker, article by Peter Gorenstein, discusses the Apple Store's success after opening 10 years ago. In 2001, Apple opened their first two stores, one in Tysons Corner, Virginia and the other in Glendale, California. Today, while other electronics retailers are seeing declines in their sales, Apple continues to prosper. According to Gorenstein, based on sales per square foot, the Apple Store's 300 stores and over $9 billion in retail sales last year can put them as the most successful retailer in the world.

Other retail stores aren't fairing as well in recent years. Circuit City closed down their stores two years ago, and Best Buy has not seen any advantage as a result. Gorenstein claims that Best Buy has reported three straight quarters of declining sales. Dell and Microsoft have tried mimicking Apple's approach by opening their own stores, so it'll be interesting to see how well they end up doing, although it's doubted that they will see the kind of success that Apple does.

Yahoo! News: TwitPic of Endeavour, Lady Gaga, and the 'Dougie'

Credit: Stefanie Gordon
Today on Yahoo! News, Adriana Diaz' column for "Trending Now" discusses a TwitPic of Endeavour, Lady Gaga's continually rising fame, and the loss of a member of the Cali Swag District.

Stefanie Gordon, the person behind the highly popular photo of the space shuttle Endeavour, happened to be at the right place and time when she saw the shuttle launch through the window on her flight. According to Diaz, the picture (right) resulted in Gordon receiving over 2,000 Twitter followers within one day of posting the photo.

Lady Gaga made Diaz' "Trending Now" column for being the first person ever to reach the 10 million follower mark on Twitter. It's reported, however, that Justin Beiber trails close behind and is well on his way to 10 million followers.

Diaz closes out her column by discussing the death of M-Bone, a rapper in the group the Cali Swag District who are best known for their hit single, "Teach Me How to Dougie." M-Bone's death was the result of a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California.
