Tamera Mowry-Housley: Why I?m Hoping for a Boy
"I helped raise my brothers so I have somewhat of an experience raising boys. I haven't the slightest idea about raising a girl. It's like the unknown."

OLED Display Blocks pack six 128 x 128 panels, we go hands-on at MIT (video)
How do you develop an OLED display that gives a 360-degree perspective? Toss six 1.25-inch panels into a plastic cube, then turn it as you see fit. That's an overly simplistic explanation for the six-sided display on hand at the MIT Media Lab today, which is quite limited in its current form, but could eventually serve an enormous variety of applications. Fluid Interfaces Group Research Assistant Pol Pla i Conesa presented several such scenarios for his Display Blocks, which consist of 128 x 128-pixel OLED panels. Take, for example, the 2004 film Crash, which tells interweaving stories that could be presented simultaneously with such a display -- simply rotate the cube until you land on a narrative you'd like to follow, and the soundtrack will adjust to match. It could also go a long way when it comes to visualizing data, especially when in groups -- instead of virtually constructing profiles of individuals who applied for a slot at MIT, for example, or segments of a business that need to be organized based on different parameters, you could have each assigned to a cube, which can be tossed into an accepted or rejected pile, and repositioned as necessary.
Imagine having a group of display cubes when it comes time to plan the seating chart for a reception -- each cube could represent one individual, with a color-coded background and a name or photo up top, with different descriptive elements on each side. The same could apply to products at monstrous companies like Samsung or Sony, where executives need to make planning decisions based on product performance, and could benefit greatly from having all of the necessary information for a single gadget listed around each cube. On a larger scale, the cubes could be used to replace walls and floors in a building -- want to change the color of your wallpaper? Just push a new image to the display, and dedicate a portion of the wall for watching television, or displaying artwork. You could accomplish this with networked single-sided panels as well, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun. The Media Lab had a working prototype on display today, which demonstrated the size and basic functionality, but didn't have an adjustable picture. Still, it's easy to imagine the potential of such a device, if, of course, it ever becomes a reality. As always, you'll find our hands-on demo just past the break.

MarkaVIP Secures $10 million As The Middle East Takes Off
Online private sales burst onto the scene a few years ago in the shape of Vente Privee in Europe and, later, Gilt in the US. It's a model we all know and love - and it's rapidly proving a model with which emerging economies are, well, rather obsessed. I was just recently in Istanbul where you can almost throw a stone and be sure of hit a private sales startup entrepreneur. And from there, and across the Middle East and North Africa (known as MENA), online businesses are growing like weeds. And some investors know it. Thus today MarkaVIP, a runaway private sales success story in the Middle East has completed a $10 million Series B funding led by European venture firm Prime Ventures. It's joined buy participation from New York City-based Invus Financial Advisors (IFA), Antwerp-based Hummingbird Ventures, and San Francisco-based Lumia Capital.national signing day 2012 landon collins dorial green beckham mike kelly amzn kristen bell colbert super pac
DWTS' William Levy's Steamy Night With A Waitress
After weeks of cheering him on in the audience of Dancing With the Stars and accompanying him on dinner dates around Beverly Hills, it seems William Levy?s baby mama, Elizabeth Gutierrez, is giving her ex another chance. But after reportedly cheating on his long-suffering girlfriend at least 40 times during their eight-year relationship, it looks like William has not-so-shockingly returned to his philandering ways.
Just as Elizabeth, 34, rebuilds her trust after a brief split, In Touch can exclusively reveal that the Cuban-born playboy, 31, is having a sultry affair with LA-based restaurant hostess and aspiring actress Grace Roubidoux. Though the 25-year-old denies any wrongdoing, ?Grace and William hooked up last week,? a friend of the Kate Mantilini greeter, who often goes by the stage name Carolyn Hayver, tells In Touch. ?He told her to keep quiet about it, because he didn?t want Elizabeth to find out.?

Startup Accelerator FounderFuel Raises $6M, Puts Another $150K On The Table For Each Team
Last June, FounderFuel became the latest in a new crop of Canadian startup accelerators, joining Year One Labs and more in the mission to support and grow the country's entrepreneurial ecosystems. Created by the same team behind Montreal Start Up, FounderFuel launched with $2 million from Real Ventures in tow, kick-starting its 12-week, mentor-driven startup "boot camp" and allowing it to provide its classes of 8 to 10 founding teams with $20 to $25K in seed right off the bat. But that was apparently just the beginning. In an effort to keep up with the reserves of top accelerators like TechStars and Y Combinator, FounderFuel is today announcing that it is upping the ante and putting quite a bit more capital on the table for its startups.rich rodriguez the muppet movie the muppet movie mars rover mars rover apple cup jewelry stores
