LG Optimus True HD LTE's European assault begins in Portugal, Germany and Sweden
While the latest LTE and HD equipped addition to LG's Optimus line has already landed across Asia (Korea, Japan) and North America (US - AT&T, US - Verizon, Canada) under a few different names, the newly rebranded Optimus True HD LTE is finally prepared for a European debut. As seen by the flags flying above, this week LG will begin rolling out to Portugal, Germany and Sweden, with Britain and France on deck for the second half of the year when LTE service is available. The other flags present represent further Asian rollouts in Hong Kong and Singapore. The plan, described in the Korean press release linked below, is apparently to make LG synonymous with LTE, although we can't see how renaming its current dual-core standard bearer every other week is helping.

Anyone who runs a website, especially those who those who do the majority of their business through a web portal, know how important speedy load times are to keeping their customers engaged, on site, and happy.While there are a number of sources one can turn to for website optimization, few offer both optimization along with the ability to track incoming pageviews and cross-reference their page load times with bounce rates -- and most importantly -- conversion rates.

The Wearable Computing Startup From Agamatrix?s Founders, Former Apple CEO John Sculley, Raised $7.6M
Google Glass isn't the only game in town. Misfit Wearables, a wearable computing startup from the founding team of mobile health company Agamatrix and former Apple chief executive John Sculley, just raised $7.6 million in a round co-led by Founders Fund. The other notable firm in the deal isn't disclosed, but we hear through a source that it's Khosla Ventures. Misfit isn't saying too much about what it's working on, except to say that the next generation of wearable devices shouldn't compete with fashion, has to be ambient and has to have functions outside of sensing. It has to be the kind of thing a consumer wouldn't need to remember to wear and ideally, it would be something that's so critical that a person would go back home if they left it there.fanboys ucla usc ucla usc sean taylor usc football cybermonday coach outlet
'American Idol' Top Six Battle For The Throne On Queen Night
Hollie Cavanagh rises up with 'The Climb' and Joshua Ledet racks up two more standing ovations.

If "American Idol" was decided by whoever received the most standing ovations from the judges, Joshua Ledet would have this year's competition in the bag.
Ledet racked up two more standing O's from the judges on Wednesday's (April 25) "Idol," which found the contestants singing two songs apiece: one from Queen, and another of their own choosing.
That brought Ledet's unofficial standing ovation season total to 12 — that figure according to Skylar Laine, who ribbed him backstage for receiving a dozen standing O's over the course of the season.
Ledet first got a rise out of the judges with his version of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," which caused Jennifer Lopez to ask, "Is it bad for me to say the Joshua part of the show is my favorite part of the show?" He followed it with a version of India.Arie's "Ready for Love" — which was sung by Michael Lynche back in "Idol" season nine — which was called "another unbelievable performance" by Randy Jackson. Added an enthusiastic Steven Tyler, "I hope the label finds you a bunch of good songs, man, and you're off to the moon. I smell the finish line with you."
Hollie Cavanagh received the evening's other standing ovation from the judges with her second song, "The Climb," the Miley Cyrus song that seemingly summed up her journey on the show so far. It came after she received so-so marks for her first song, Queen's "Save Me," which played into theme of "The Climb" even further.
"That's the Hollie Cavanagh that we love, that's the one! Hollie is back! Yo!" said Jackson. Added Lopez, "You said it backstage, 'I gotta step it up,' and you did! It was perfect."
Steven Tyler's favorite of the night was Skylar Laine, who opened with "The Show Must Go On" and followed it with Jason Aldean's "Tattoo's on This Town." On the Queen song, Tyler praised her energy and her passion as over-the-top, saying, "the way you hit your notes, for an 18-year-old? Oh my God. That was fabulous." Lopez said she got "goosies" from Laine, while Jackson dubbed himself a "ginormous" fan of the Mississippi singer.
Jessica Sanchez kicked off the show with "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was shot in black and white while a chorus of Sanchez heads backed her on the oval "Idol" video screen at the back of the stage. For her second song, Sanchez sent a shout-out to her dad, singing a touching version of Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father."
Lopez told Sanchez she expected more energy from her during "Rhapsody," but said her "Dance With My Father" was "the best I've ever heard that song sang." Meanwhile, Jackson summed up her two performances by saying, "every time you get up and sing, you know what's wrong with it? Absolutely nothing!"
Phillip Phillips, who has battled Dave Matthews comparisons from fans all season, seemingly got away from the Matthews talk with his first song, a fun, spirited take on "Fat Bottomed Girls." "People say that you remind them of Dave Matthews, that didn't remind me of Dave Matthews at all. That was something totally different," Lopez said, invoking Matthews name out loud for the first time this season. "That's the mark of a great singer for me."
And how did Phillip Squared follow it up? With a performance of Dave Matthews' "The Stone," on which he sounded like a direct clone of Matthews. Lopez was not pleased, dismissing the song "obscure" and "artsy," and worrying it would get him voted off the show. Jackson, for his part, admired Phillips' sticking to his guns. "Die, sink or swim, Phil Phillips will always be Phil Phillips," he said. "I love that."
Elise Testone took on Queen's "I Want It All" early and followed it with Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love." The first song got high marks, though the latter "wasn't the right song for this time in the competition," Jackson told her, criticizing her for "boxing" with the song, and saying Hendrix sang "about 1/25 of what you sang" in his original. J. Lo had the opposite reaction. Although she said she wasn't familiar with the original, "you slayed that song so hard, it didn't even matter," she said.
Wednesday's show opened with the Top Six performing a medley of Queen songs, backed by Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Thursday's show will feature performances by Katy Perry and 10th season "Idol" contestant Stefano Langone, and one of the six remaining contestants will be sent home.

Sarah Michelle Gellar: Pregnant with Second Child!
A hearty round of congratulations are in order for Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.: the couple is expecting its second child!
"She and Freddie are thrilled," a friend of Gellar and Prinze tells Us Weekly. "They're amazing parents."
The famous twosome met while filming the classic 1997 thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, but didn't start dating until three years later. They then married in September 2002 and welcomed daughter Charlotte Grace in September 2009.
The news of Gellar's pregnancy arrives just as The CW is figuring out the fate of her latest series, Ringer - and let's just say the beautiful mother will likely have a lot of free time ahead of her to spend with a new baby.

'Avengers' Already A Smash Overseas
Superhero movie, due Stateside in early May, is already breaking records in foreign markets.

The Avengers have already started to assemble overseas, and early box-office reports are spelling very good things for Marvel's tentpole. The superhero movie that brings together Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk has reportedly made $12.5 million in a handful of foreign markets and is already breaking records, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In Australia, "The Avengers" has already banked $7 million, a total that has only been beaten by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," which earned $8 million during its Down Under debut.
The foreign rollout has proven lucrative elsewhere, too, as France added $3 million to the total.
Early tracking estimated that "The Avengers" could make more than $150 million during its early May opening weekend in the U.S. That would put the film in the same class as "Spider-Man 3," "The Hunger Games," "The Dark Knight" and "Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
This could potentially mean the biggest debut for a Marvel Studios movie yet. "Iron Man 2" currently holds that honor. The Robert Downey Jr. sequel opened to $128 million back in 2010. That's followed by the first "Iron Man" at $98 million.
"The Avengers" has the added advantage of higher ticket prices. The film is playing both in 3-D and in IMAX 3-D, so each individual ticket will add more to the final total. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" saw a large bump in its record-breaking run thanks in part to higher prices attached to 3-D showings.
Check out everything we've got on "The Avengers."

Incubator Lemnos Labs Is Looking For Its Next Class Of Hardware Startups
It seems like everyone's worried about an incubator bubble, but seriously ? Lemnos Labs is doing something different. It's not just incubating for the latest social network or iPhone app. Instead, it's looking for startups that build hardware. At first, hardware and incubators sounds like an odd match, since the incubator boom is driven, at least in part, by the way that the Web has driven down the costs of starting a company. Hardware, on the other hand, sounds expensive and not conducive to the rapid iteration that that's now part of startup doctrine. However, co-founder Jeremy Conrad says that thanks to developments like rapid prototyping, it's becoming faster and cheaper to build a hardware startup too.conrad murray conrad murray jack del rio jack del rio heaven is for real chapter 11 bankruptcy chapter 11 bankruptcy

Jenelle Evans and Kieffer Delp: Hitting it Again!
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans just can’t seem to stay out of trouble ... or the arms of Kieffer Delp. As her mom Babwha would say ... Dammit Kieffah!!!!!!
Ever since Jenelle broke up with Gary Head, it's been a non-stop bone-a-thon for the train wreck and her former boyfriend, according to Radar sources.
“She has spent the past few days with Kieffer shut up in her apartment having sex,” a source dished, noting that it could mean trouble for the hot mess.
“She’s only got days left of her probation and now she’s could end up back in jail because she’s not meant to be with him as he has a criminal record.”
Delp got out of prison last month, and he's already causing more headaches for Jenelle Evans, as their recent dalliance resulted in a visit from the police.
"The cops chased Kieffer away from Jenelle's home," a source said, with no word on whether he was wearing his trademark ratty green hoodie at the time.
It's unclear what brought police to her house this time around, though epic fights between the on-off couple have become par for the course on Teen Mom 2.
"Nothing happened to Jenelle in terms of criminal charges, at this time, but to say the police are sick of her and her drama would be an understatement."
Evans, 20, hasn’t let probation and court orders stop her hard partying. Since she can’t smoke pot because of random drug tests, she’s been dropping acid.
“She does it a lot ... she fell in love with it,” Tori Rhyne, a close pal of the Oak Island, N.C. native (or at least she used to be), told Star earlier this month.
Between that and Kieffer's reemergence in her life, her alleged quest to regain custody of son Jace - or a stable existence overall - may be short-lived.
