Which Family Did It Better? Two families. Two plans for achieving meritless fame and potential fortune. It’s the new American dream. But who did it right and who fell on their faces? And how can we apply these lessons to our own plans to become successful fame-whores? Tareq and Michaele Salahi The Virginia couple, previously tapped for a potential D.C. edition of the salacious docu-soap, Real Housewives, managed to sneak their way into a White House State dinner last week, where they mingled freely among the muckety-mucks of Washington. With a wealth of experience rubbing elbows among the polo-playing set around our nation’s capital, the Salahis developed a…

Thanks to all who took part in our recent giveaway, more coming soon! Asus goes multi-touch with T91MT Eee PC The T91 , Asus’s well known tablet style Eee PC netbook finally gets a much needed upgrade. This second gen T91 is to be known as the T91MT, the new netbook will be getting a multi-touch display. Apparently this means, the T91MT will become the world’s first convertible tablet netbook featuring a multi-touch screen that supports Windows 7 many-finger gestures. The T91MT’s new 8.9″ multi-touch screen will allow users to pinch, flick, swirl, scroll, zoom and flip through images, web pages and more using multiple fingers. No official date on availability yet but T91MT buyers will still be getting a 1.33GHz Intel Z520 Atom CPU, Intel US15W chipset and 1GB of DDR2 memory, however, one major upgrade is it will now come with a 32GB SSD. Pricing for the T91MT in the US will be $550 which equates to £335/€368 if it were to follow conversion rates without inflation. This means the T91MT will be $80 more than the first generation original T91. [via PCLaunches ]
Readers : Win a brand new sim-free Nokia N97 mobile phone for free! Leaked: BBC iPlayer application coming to iPhone It looks like all the waiting may finally be over. Its been leaked just over the weekend that BBC could be in the middle of developing an iPhone / iPod Touch application for their free UK online TV and radio catchup on-demand service – iPlayer. Leaked from the BBC’s latest monthly press pack, normally the monthly press pack is created to provide viewing figures and usage statistics for the iPlayer video on demand service in the UK. But this latest one also shows an image of an iPlayer application running on the iPhone. While iPhone and iPod Touch users may be able to use the free service using Safari, no additional functions are provided and of course its not the same as having an application specifically designed to support the devices in question. It looks obvious that there will be a downloads option and what appears to be a live stream option which should run exactly like that of iPlayer on your PC. This will be excellent as users will be able to download content then watch it while offline. From the image leaked, it looks like WiFi will be one of the connectivity options, which does mean iPod Touch should probably be able to benefit from the application as well. However, this does make us wonder whether there will be a WiFi only restriction and also will non-UK users still be limited? BBC is yet to confirm whether this free service for the Apple handhelds is actually in the works. [via ElectricPig ]
How’s this for a bit of weather-related irony? “Russian Roulette” singer Rihanna, who sailed to the top of the charts with her 2006 hit “Umbrella,” had her party parade rained on in London Saturday night, when a sudden downpour opened up and she was failed by one of the very contraptions that she’d sung the praises of. The Barbados-born songbird, who’s in town to perform live for The X Factor’s results show tonight, was emerging from The Wellington Club when the sky opened up, prompting the club owner to provide an umbrella (or “brolly,” as they’re called over there, because they’re so…
Better warm up the TiVo, Team Jacob; Us Magazine reports that New Moon hunk Taylor Lautner will be testing out his comedic chops on December 12, as the host of Saturday Night Live. (Apparently, SNL’s attempts to woo Lautner’s co-star, Robert Pattinson, have so far fallen flat.) The questions abound: Do you think Lautner has the sense of humor to pull off the gig? Do you think T-Laut will spoof his classic The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D? Perhaps most importantly, how many skits do you think will require Taylor to doff his shirt? Share your predictions in the comments…
