App tops iTunes chart Katy Perry's Revenge 2

App tops iTunes chart Katy Perry's Revenge 2
A free, two-song version of Katy Perry's Revenge has rocked its way up to the top of the App Store charts.
Sponsored by Microsoft's search engine Bing, Katy Perry's Revenge 2 lets you tap your way through Perry's smash song "Firework" and her latest hit, "E.T.," featuring Kanye West.

In case you've never played a Tap Tap Revenge game before, you're challenged to tap one of three colored orbs at the correct time, as it passes through a circle near the bottom of the screen. Similar in concept to Guitar Hero and Rock Band, you'll rack up points for staying in rhythm as long as you can without a mistake, pressing and holding some notes for a longer period of time and collecting multipliers for bonus points.

Behind the action are images of Katy Perry and graphics related to the song (such a seeing animated fireworks at key times throughout the song).

Hours Cristal Watch

Hours Cristal Watch
The main idea of hours of Cristal is to design a custom minute and hour hands, which is shaped like a crystal. However, the beauty of this concept is a bit inconsistent with the practicality and readability. Therefore, in the center of the dial is also a LED display that shows the exact time and date. One press of a button on the right side of the clock - and the LED-display shows you the time, two clicks - and you'll see the date.

Blue Unveil Anthemic Eurovision Track



Blue Unveil Anthemic Eurovision Track 
Reunited quartet Blue have unveiled the "anthemic" track they will be taking to Eurovision this year, insisting taking part will not be "career suicide".

"We felt quite privileged to be asked," singer Duncan James told reporters on Thursday. "How many opportunities do you get to represent your country?"

Blue will perform the song, I Can, on Graham Norton's BBC One show on Friday.

This year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Dusseldorf, Germany on 14 May.

Band member Simon Webbe is adamant the track will not receive the dreaded "nul point".

"We don't see this as career suicide even if a lot of people will see it that way," he continued.

"It's a great way to show we are a live group and we are back after 10 years."

The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997 when Katrina and the Waves triumphed with Love Shine a Light.

Last year's hopeful, Josh Dubovie, finished in last place with That Sounds Good to Me, a song co-written by Mike Stock and Pete Waterman.

The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter

The Top 10 Most Popular Athletes on Twitter
The biggest athlete in professional sports is also the biggest athlete on Twitter.

NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has the most followers of any athlete on the social media site, with over 3.5 million users reading his tweets. Brazilian soccer star Kaka is second on the list, more than 500,000 followers behind.

Though athletic success is a good yardstick in determining which men and women have the most followers, it's not as reliable an indicator as you'd think. For instance, Tiger Woods isn't in the top 10 but Chad Ochocinco is. (Tiger actually has fewer followers than fellow golfers Stewart Cink and Ian Poulter.) LeBron James cracks the list but comes in behind Reggie Bush. And of all the baseball players with accounts, one-time All-Star Nick Swisher is the most popular. (It doesn't hurt that he's on the New York Yankees.)

Here's the list of the top-10 athletes on Twitter, along with a sample tweet and a summary of their favorite subjects:

Eminem: Most “Liked” Artist on Facebook

Eminem
Eminem may have made his name by making fun of pop stars, but nowadays he is proving himself to be the most popular of them all. Today (February 24) the rapper made history on Facebook by surpassing Lady Gaga as the most liked, living artist on the social networking site.
As of press time Em’s page currently stands at 28,898,000+ likes, while Lady Gaga trails behind at 28,879,000+ likes. This battle is sure to be ongoing, as Gaga is known to have a very supportive fanbase, but this marks the first time XXL‘s March 2011 cover boy has taken the lead.
