Great news everyone! Google Maps is finally available in the App Store!!! And I couldn’t be more extatic! I bet the Apple office is also breathing a sigh of relief right now. Google’s app introduces functions previously restricted to Android devices. Nokia however still posed a threat. The Finnish company recently launched its own free maps app for the iPhone. So it’s a dance off between the two, but for now I will stick to the iPhone and control the urge to switch over to the Samsung Galaxy 3S.let’s see how long I will last.
Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, best-known for investments linking consumers to the Internet, is placing a bet on genetics. Milner, who backed companies ranging from Facebook to gaming company Zynga, has led a $50 million funding round into 23andMe, a California, company that helps people decipher their genetic makeup. His investment shines a spotlight on biotechnology startups, which have taken a backseat in visibility to sectors like cloud computing and Internet services. 23andMe, named for the 23 pairs of chromosomes that make up each person’s genome, also announced a price drop for its saliva-based test, to $99 from $299. And why should we know our genetic makeup? Because we can learn specifics about our ancestry and genetic traits, including the possible conditions and diseases to which we may have a genetic predisposition. I’m sold!
Beliebers please take a deep sigh of relief! He almost lost his testicles and his life – but police managed to save him in time! Superstar pop singer Justin Bieber was the target of a bizarre plot hatched by an imprisoned, Bieber-obsessed murderer, who allegedly dispatched two New Mexico men to kill and castrate the teen at his recent Madison Square Garden show. According to court documents, one of those men was busted upstate on Nov. 20 – allegedly with pruning shears that were to be used to cut off Bieber’s manhood at a price of $2,500 for each testicle. 23 year old Tanner Ruane, and his ex-con uncle Mark Staake, were supposed to strangle 18-year-old Bieber and his bodyguard with a paisley tie at the singer’s late November show at the Garden, then castrate them both. The sickening scheme supposedly was set in motion by Dana Martin, who is serving a life sentence for the 2000 rape and murder of a 15-year-old Vermont girl. Please don’t ever let this sicko out.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he fails to understand why the US Congress passed a bill aimed at barring Russians allegedly involved in an anti-corruption lawyer’s death from the US. He suggested US domestic politics were behind the “unfriendly” bill and that US-Russian relations were at stake. Russia plans to retaliate by barring American human rights abusers. The bill is named after Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in custody, after exposing alleged corruption. It also extends to others outside the Magnitsky case, accused of rights violations. US President Barack Obama has yet to sign it into law. Magnitsky, uncovered the theft of more than $200m. After reporting it to the authorities, he was himself detained on suspicion of aiding tax evasion, and died in custody. The lawyer’s colleagues insist the case against him was fabricated to make him halt his investigation into a number of high-profile corrupt officials. This sort of nonsense must end. The tyranny of President Putin must end!
