AMD likes to take its time before stepping inside the ring, but it's turned up at Computex with its gown off and mouthguard in. Its much-leaked Z-series Fusion APU (aka "Desna") for tablet devices is now official and could well steal some of ARM's thunder. Whereas ARM chips will get along with the next version of Windows, AMD's Z-series is already tuned into the here-and-now. Its integrated dual 1Ghz Bobcat chips and Radeon HD 6250 graphics should allow the full Windows 7 experience on a tablet, from USB peripheral compatibility right down to XBOX 360 Media Extender functionality. What's more, it drinks less than 6W of power so is significantly leaner than the 9W Ontario APU powering Acer's Iconia W500 Windows 7 tablet. Additionally, AMD claims MSI has already made that leap with its new WindPad 110w (though we can't be sure if the pre-release device we just handled was carrying a Z-series chip).

Meanwhile, AMD left any traces of shyness far behind as it went on to confirm plans for a range of A-series and E-series chips with which it hopes to tackle Intel's dominance in the laptop and desktop spheres -- right up to the level of the Core i7. This includes the leaked high-end quad-core A8 and, more surprisingly, a new Trinity APU. Looking way into the future, AMD intends Trinity to be a successor to the mid-range A-series Llano, which isn't even out yet but is expected imminently. Unfortunately we have no concrete specs for the Trinity -- AMD thought it was sufficient to wave the thing around at the press conference and declare it "2012's best APU". Depending on how you look at it, that's either fighting talk or plain posturing.

The 'Beautiful Girls' hitmaker struck a bridge connecting Palm Island with the MacArthur Causeway in Miami, Florida, on Sunday evening (29.05.11) and has been taken to the Jackson Memorial Hospital nearby to be treated for his injuries.

A representative for the 21-year-old singer said: "Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes."

A female passenger who was also on the jet-ski has also been taken to hospital.

Officials investigating the accident are said to have ruled out alcohol playing a part in the accident, TMZ reports.

Fellow musician Nicki Minaj has tweeted her support for the singer, saying: "My love & prayers are with Sean Kingston & his family.(sic)"

Justin Bieber ' who collaborated with Sean on the song 'Eenie Meenie' - asked his twitter followers to pray for him.

He wrote: "got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well.(sic)"

The troubled singer ' who has a history of drug addiction and heavy drinking - checked herself London's The Priory clinic earlier this week ' but reportedly stunned onlookers when she bought a small bottle of vodka from a small shop in Southgate, north London, on her way to the facility.

The source said: "She seemed out of it. She was stumbling about, slurring her words.

"I was shocked to see her buy vodka so early in the day, and even more shocked to see her knock it straight back."

Just minutes earlier, she had shocked staff and clients in a local hair salon by bursting in and loudly vomiting in their bathroom.

Customers said she was dressed scruffily in a tracksuit and told staff: "I just puked all over your bathroom."

One told The Sun newspaper: "I felt really sorry for the staff. I think they were too scared to say anything."

Last night (26.05.11) Amy's spokesman denied she had been sick, insisting her comment was a joke, but confirmed she is in rehab.

He said: "Amy's embarked on treatment at The Priory."

Earlier this month, it was reported that the 27-year-old star wants to move to the countryside and start a family with her boyfriend Reg Traviss.

The Child Protection Services investigation against Mariah Carey has been dropped.

The singer and husband Nick Cannon - who became parents to son Moroccan Scott and daughter Monroe on April 30 - were shocked when an anonymous tip to the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family (DCFS) accused her of putting the babies at risk by drinking alcohol and taking drugs in her hospital room.

Mariah ' who brought the babies home from hospital two weeks ago - admitted to investigators she drank a Guinness but only on the advice of medical staff who informed her a dark beer would help with lactation.

Laura Wasser ' a lawyer for the singer ' was present during questioning before the DCFS decided not to pursue the matter, website TMZ reports.

Earlier this month, 'America's Got Talent' host Nick explained the couple were shocked at the 'ridiculous' allegations.

He said: "Recently, the Child Protective Services were called with allegations that there was some drinking and drugs and all that going on, wild in the hospital, which makes no sense to me - how would a hospital allow that?

"It all started when a nurse suggested to my wife that if you drink Guinness, the dark beer, the yeast improves breastfeeding. I don't know if someone heard that, but then they were saying my wife was drinking beer. People will do anything to try to conjure up a story.

"I spoke to the person from the Child Protective Services, I was like, 'This is ridiculous. We're going to make sure that this isn't a case.'

"To even have to deal with that, my wife in the state that she's in, we're in the hospital, to even have to think about someone possibly wanting to investigate your children. It's sad at the end of the day."

Called Garbin, the Maserati GT is the project thesis of three students (Jaime Cervantes, Andrea Coccia, and Chetan Rajput) and was developed during their Master’s degree in Transportation and Automobile Design, with a sponsorship from the Fiat Group.

The car inspired by Maserati Ghibli built between 1967 and 1973 they avoid giving the concept a retro design. In the tradition of the Trident brand, the name Garbin comes from a southwesterly summer wind that is encountered in Italy.

The surface language is inspired by the Privé 2010 Collection by Armani, a fashion design concept that uses overlay luminescent fabrics. “This inspiration was translated into solid surfaces combined with ‘floating’ elements that remind of the Opera Theatre of Valencia, by Calatrava,” the designers explain.

Since 2004, Sant'Agata Bolognese has built and bid a fond farewell to more than 10,000 Lamborghini Gallardos. It is the most successful model in brand history by a long shot. The chiseled sports car, with a menacing 5.2-liter V-10 stuffed mid-belly, always directed its 500-plus horsepower to all four wheels.

But in 2009, things changed when Lamborghini created a rear-wheel-drive LP550-2 Valentino Balboni to celebrate the decades-long career of its most vaunted test driver. Much to the chagrin of super-rich Lambo fans looking to get their hands on one, only 250 examples were created.


This year, things have changed once again. Lamborghini has heeded its well-heeled clientele's wishes for an unlimited edition Balboni, creating a new two-wheel-drive bull capable of fulfilling inner drifter fantasies. It is called the Gallardo LP550-2 Bicolore.

"The Bicolore is more demanding," explained Lamborghini America chief operating officer Wolfgang Hoffmann at a pre-test-drive conference. "The four-wheel-drive customer is different than the two-wheel-drive customer."

Indeed, the latter must be a little mad.

Gripping its Alcantara-wrapped wheel tightly on Turn 4 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I quickly learn that in the 542-horse LP550-2, a rendezvous with a corner demands 24 Hours of Le Mans focus. Get it wrong, and you could send the Bicolore with its 398 pound-feet of torque off into the weeds, or worse, the car could be come a crumpled mess and you immobilized on a stretcher.

Preventing calls to the local medics is always a good thing, so engineers implemented a few upgrades to help you avoid such scenarios. A revised extended nose sucks the car closer to planet Earth and shoves cool air toward the 14-inch, eight-piston brakes. Slightly softer springs and dampers deliver a more civilized ride for daily duty. They also promote stickier grip during the Bicolore's lewd-sounding "Thrust Mode" launches.

What is the world's most valuable consumer-facing brand? If you'd asked the guys behind the BrandZ survey at any point over the last four years, they'd have told you "Google," but in 2011 their answer has changed. Apple is now the hottest property in terms of consumer goodwill, earning an estimated valuation of $153.3 billion and leading a pack that includes the likes of Coca-Cola, BMW, HSBC, and Disney. The tech sector had a very strong year as a whole, with Facebook's brand improving in value by a staggering 246 percent (to $19.1b) and Amazon becoming the world's most valuable retailer (at $37.6b) in spite of having no actual stores. Sadly, there were some downers too, as Nintendo lost 37 percent of its brand worth over the past year, Nokia dropped by 28 percent, and the BlackBerry marque was considered 20 percent less awesome than before.

Y'know, there are only so many pristine beaches and spectacular slopes one can see before terrestrial tourism becomes blasé. That's why Space Adventures -- who lets folks vacay in space via suborbital jaunts -- is offering to shoot you to the moon during your next work sabbatical. Amateur astronauts won't actually land on the lunar surface, of course, but their Soyuz spacecraft will get within 62 miles of it. To indulge in your lunar fantasy, it'll only cost you 150 million bucks, or roughly the GDP of a [insert small island nation here]. One of the two seats is already taken, but the company needs another would-be moon man or lunar lady before the trip's a go. The only thing stopping us (and everyone we know) from signing up is an empty bank account -- does Fastweb do spaceflight scholarships?

Manchester United face Schalke04 in the second leg of the champions league semi final. Leading 2-0 from the first leg, Red Devils are now favorites to progress into the final of the biggest cup competition in club football.

Man Utd vs Schalke 4 May 2011. Manchester United (MU) vs Schalke be a surprise in the Champions League semi-final of 2011. The presence of Manchester United in the semifinals was a natural thing, but the presence of Schalke who became Manchester United in the semi-final opponent is a surprise this season. Manchester United, aiming for their third final in four years, have won their last four CL games, are unbeaten in 12 and have conceded a mere three goals in their 11 matches in the competition this season, a formidable record. Schalke, who need something of a miracle to reach their first CL final, are unbeaten in their last four CL away games and did win their quarter-final in Milan against title-holders Inter by 5-2 - a previous miracle.

MU were leading most of the time HT at Old Trafford this season, and if they could lead vs Chelsea, they can vs Schalke. With the 1st leg fcked up, they have no choice but try and score at least a couple of goals, so closing the game to avoid taking goals would be pointless. Guests will have to take risks, and United will certainly have a lot of chances.

Schalke was really bad in first leg. After their amazing quarter final win on Inter there was too much pressure on ther shoulders. This week maybe different schalke. I think they will score in first half, ManU too. Then Schalke is taking to much risk and ManU score two more goals.
Manchester United vs Schalke possible line up
Manchester United (4-4-2)
Van der Sar; Fabio, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Scholes, Carrick, Park; Berbatov, Owen.
Schalke (4-4-2)
