Selena

Selena: Selena Gomez was spotted at LAX earlier on Thursday. She was heading for her flight to Belfast where she'll host the MTV European Music Awards.

The "Who Says" singer and former star of Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place was greeted by mobs of fans as she hurried through to catch her flight.

According to a report from Celebuzz, Selena didn't seem any worse for wear despite the rumor of her boyfriend Justin Bieber fathering a love child with 20-year-old Mariah Yeaton.

In faSelena Gomez ~ct, she didn't seem the least bit concerned. Does she have perfect faith in Justin and the fact that he's telling the truth when he says this woman is lying?

Justin Bieber is also supposed to be at the MTV EMAs but at this point in time it's uncertain if he'll still be able to make it. It likely depends upon what his legal team suggests he do to clear his name in this whole paternity suit matter.

Selena Gomez, however, plans to honor her responsibility to host the EMAs and thus is en route to Belfast at this very moment.

Do you think if Justin Bieber does get to the EMAs that there will be any stress apparent between him and Selena Gomez? So far Justin hasn't seemed worried and has gone about his business, including promoting his new Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, that was released on Tuesday.

Hopefully this whole paternity issue will one day be nothing but a bad dream for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. In the meantime, kudos to both of them for carrying on with business as usual.

Best of luck to Selena Gomez as she hosts the MTV European Music Awards on November 6th.

Wow! Is that true? That’s what we through when we heard this news. Selena Gomez seems like she had a shock like never before and she confirmed iNewsToday that her decision is final.

Happened to be found that Justin have a 3 months old son which had fallen from sky for Selena. Justin tried to convince Selena to actg fake infront of the press in order to keep up his reputation. But Selena didn’t agreed with it so far.

In other point of view, Justin doesn’t seems to be a betrayer as his relationship with Selena was only eight months and the physical relation with the other women held approximately thirteen months early.

More or less every relationships have few common issues to have it’s full fun but this seems to be way too much for Justin to take control. However, it’s true that she admitted to leave Justin this way or that way.

After a survey few months back, 60 out of 100 were unhappy about such relationship and they think it’s not right for Selena to be his partner. Now it seems like Selena Gomez cannot handle Justin Biebier anymore in her life after such incident.

At this point while Selena is dumping Justin, we asked many people regarding this action. And unfortunately 90% of the user had confirmed that it’s good for both of them and not made for each other.

When we appeared to her and asked that whether Justin knows about her decision or not then she replied that media is there for him to get informed.

Bank Transfer Day

Bank Transfer Day: Bank Transfer Day is scheduled for November 5, 2011. The idea behind this day is to have as many people as possible transfer their savings and checking accounts out of the hands of large banks and into the accounts of credit unions.

The supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement say that Bank Transfer Day will deal a stunning blow to large corporate banks around the United States, helping to put ordinary citizens back in control of their own finances. However, there's a catch.

One of the primary corporate banks being targeted by Bank Transfer Day is Bank of America, who recently announced a new round of extremely unpopular fees for their basic account products.

Many people who currently hold accounts at Bank of America have decided to switch their accounts over to small local banks or credit unions anyway, citing their disapproval with not just the fee, but with customer service at Bank of America, as well. As of 2010,

Bank of America held a little over a billion dollars in deposit accounts, which was a little less than half the total assets of the company. This mass migration of account holders could very well topple the company, even if such a thing were remotely possible.

This move could potentially send shock waves through the entire economy, beginning with Bank of America and spreading through other banks, as well. Is it a bad thing?

Not only would the dissolution of Bank of America mean tens of thousands of people out of work, but there would then be repercussions in the investment sectors of these banks as well as in mortgages and small-business loans, which would then be sold to other banks or investors.

The worst-case scenario? The federal government gets involved, being the only potential purchaser of these loans if other large banks can no longer do so. Another key point is just how much can these credit unions absorb? Do they actually have the means to take on so many accounts? Probably not.

Here's the thing, though. Bank Transfer Day is bound to only attract a certain number of supporters. While it could have a significant effect on these bank's balance sheets, there really isn't going to be much in the way of real damage to the large banks themselves.

That would make November 5, 2011 less of a turning point, and more of a beginning, if that makes any sense. A return to real customer service? One would hope so. At the very least, Bank Transfer day should be good for that. It would be about time we had the big banks sucking up to consumers again for a change.

Gmail App

Gmail App: Google Gmail for the iPhone may have had just an hour or two in the sunlight before Google pulled it, but that was more than enough time for people to decide they hated it.

The dislike didn’t discriminate. Users hated the feel, the lack of functionality  and the buginess. For me, though, I couldn’t stand the look of the thing. So stark, boxy and cold.

Google will solve the feature and bug issues and soon enough the Gmail app will be back on iOS devices. What Google is unlikely to change, though, is the design. Black, white and boring. What happened to Google’s signature use of color, its sense of impish fun?

Its name is literally built out of five, bright primary colors. This is the company that regularly brings us wonderfully imaginative Google Doodle logos which all do wild things with that simple, yet attractive logo. It’s the same company that has some of the most entertaining corporate offices I have ever seen.

Yet, something is happening in the halls of Google. Google’s new design language has, essentially, two words: black and white.

It’s not just this new HTML5-based Gmail that is awash in two-tone colors or that brings sharp edges to Apple’s always curved world. I’m reading Steve Jobs’s biography right now and learned that he hated HATED corners.

Everything had to be curved. He was obsessed with chamfers. Take a look at your iPhone or iPad and you’ll see that design sensibility. Google, though, is going the other way.

Gmail for the iPhone is all hard lines of black, white and gray. There are thin lines and black bars. The icons are simply reverses on their black backgrounds.There’s just a tiny bit of color and impishness in there, like the use of a 3.5-inch floppy icon for “Save.”

Otherwise, it’s the culmination of a trend that’s been running through all of Google’s products for months and accelerating in recent days. The new Google Reader, for example, is white, with gray accents and black type. It’s more open than the old version, but somehow less friendly and inviting.

This week, Google also waved the magic wand of starkness over Gmail for the desktop. No more color, no more bounding boxes.

It’s super stark and seems ready to slide apart. If I were making it into a game, I’d put it on a tablet and use the accelerometer to judge just how flat you’re holding the screen. If it tips one way or the other, part of Gmail’s interface simply slides off.

Google News was probably the first of Google’s many services to get the decolorization makeover.

It used to look a tiny bit like a newspaper layout, but no more. Google Apps are no better. The menu bar in Google+ is pretty much the same. Icons are gray, the discussions float in a sea of white and gray lines.

When I do see a colorful icon in any of Google’s products I’m now tempted to throw it a lifeline.

Seriously, who is Google’s interface designer these days, and why has he decided to drain all the fun and life out of every single Google product? Some might argue that this is a return to Google’s roots.

Its homepage is still essentially just its logo, a search box and an “I’m Feeling Lucky” search option. I’ve always appreciated that Google didn’t junk that up, but I have grown accustomed to Google’s different looks within its standalone apps and services.

Now someone is cracking the whip and shoving them all into monochromatic shape.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween: Running back Frank Gore was feeling good a day after matching his career high of 31 carries, and coach Jim Harbaugh was still calling Sunday’s 20-10 slugfest with the Browns a “beautiful” win. Here are the highlights from their media sessions Monday:
 
With a four-game lead in the NFC West, the 49ers’ magic number to clinch is six. But the magic month is Decmember, at least in Harbaugh’s mind when it comes to spying the 49ers’ playoff position. “Get to December, see how many we have and how many wee need as it relates to the season,” said Harbaugh, adding that he’s always looking to the future to make the team as good as possible.

Harbaugh was the master of the obvious when he said Sunday’s second half wasn’t as clean as the first half. Specifically, he wished Braylon Edwards didn’t step out of bounds on a fourth-quarter catch, that Alex Smith didn’t overthrow Michael Crabtree on a deep pass, or that Ted Ginn didn’t get stopped for an 8-yard loss on a reverse.

 Wide receiver Michael Crabtree earned rave reviews, and not just because he had his first official touchdown catch. “I spoke with him after Detroit because I really think Michael has been playing great football the last three weeks,” Harbaugh said. “He keeps getting better and more confident. His abilities are shining through.” Harbaugh said Crabtree switched positions — from split end to flanker — on a week’s notice because his approach has been, “whatever he could do for the team.” Crabtree had a team-high five catches for 54 yards and again showed what Harbaugh termed “extraordinary” catching ability.

Harbaugh wouldn’t reveal the severity of a hamstring injury that forced defensive end Ray McDonald to miss the final 2 1/2 quarters.

Fullback Bruce Miller said X-rays were negative on his right thumb and downplayed the injury.

Gore ran 31 times for 134 yards. He also ran 31 times in the 2006 finale, for 153 yards at Denver. “I felt better yesterday than after a couple games before the bye. The bye week helped me good,” said Gore, noting that his right ankle got twisted in a pile and felt weak but it wasn’t severe enough to keep him from returning. After his media session, Gore spent 30 minutes doing a cardio workout before heading to the outdoor weight room to lift.

Gore moved past Roger Craig into the No. 2 all-time rushing spot on the 49ers, and that duo spoke after the game. “Yeah we talked last night. He’s happy for me,” Gore said. “Roger and I became really close these last two years. When I got injured, he called me a lot this offseason, telling me what I had to do and I’d be fine, that this year I’d come back and prove a lot of people wrong who thought I couldn’t be the guy I’ve always been.”

Told that the 49ers could clinch the NFC West before their Thanksgiving night game at Baltimore, Gore replied: “For real? That’d be great. … We just take one game at a time. We can’t look that far ahead. Now we’re worried about the Washington Redskins and we need to go out and win that game.”

The 49ers defense is ranked No. 1 in points allowed, and Harbaugh attributes a “huge” part in that to the run-stopping ability of the front seven. “Our guys take great pride in it and do a great job coming off the ball and knocking players back,” Harbaugh said.

Ever wonder what Patrick Willis says in those pregame team huddles after warmups? I did, so I asked Harbaugh to share. “It’s very team oriented. It’s offense. It’s defense. It’s special teams. It’s the mentality of starting fast. Those are things he emphasizes. He’s lets his passion out and lets it show. … Guys have gravitated toward him. They want and expect a shot of adrenaline from him in that situation.”

Yes, Harbaugh also would like to see more downfield completions. But he knows those attempts come with a risk. “Completion percentage will lower the farther you throw the ball down the field,” Harbaugh said. “It is nice to hit ‘em. We’d like to hit ‘em more.”
