SofÃa Vergara tells all to Vanity Fair
PMA07:51
SofÃa Vergara tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Lili Anolik
she almost didn’t end up with fiancé Joe Manganiello for
one reason: he was just too good-looking. “The day that I
sent the press release [announcing the breakup with a different fiancé,
Nick Loeb, Joe immediately contacted Jesse Tyler Ferguson Modern
Family’s Mitchell Pritchett], like, Please, please, please tell her I want her number.
And I’m like, Jesse, no, he’s too handsome,” Vergara tells Anolik. “Then, after two days of Jesse trying to convince me, I’m like, O.K., give him my number. I’m thinking, I’m in New Orleans shooting, and he’s in L.A. Nothing’s going to happen. But we started talking a lot, and then he showed up in New Orleans. Since then we’ve been inseparable. There’s nothing about him I’d change other than the fact that he’s four years younger than me [he’s 38 to her 42].” The story is accompanied by a sexy photo shoot by contributing photographer Annie Leibovitz that plays up Vergara’s role as what Anolik calls “hubba-hubba incarnate.” In a video interview on VF.com, Vergara says of working with Leibovitz, “It’s amazing when you work with somebody that you trust so much. She told me things that maybe with other photographers I would have felt like, What? No bra?! Like what? With that dog on top of me?! Like here I was just doing it because I knew she was going to take care of me.” Vergara also talks about transitioning from fame in the Spanish-speaking entertainment world to international superstardom, telling Anolik she decided to turn the very traits that many Hollywood insiders would consider liabilities into gold. She says, “I hired the speech coach, and you have to work so much. It’s exhausting. It’s also boring. And I have a bad ear, you know? I’ve been in this country for 20-something years and I still sound like this . . . So I was going to auditions and the only thing I could focus on was the position of the tongue.

The 82nd Academy Awards
PMA07:48
Jason Reitman: As I mentioned last time out, this series has officially returned. Yes, once again I’m going to be taking a look back at a recent (or now recent-ish) Oscar lineup and explaining what my vote would have been in each of the big eight categories we all follow so intently each season. I previously mentioned that potentially I could do this once a week with previous Academy Award ceremonies, and while I’m going to be attempting to do just that, time will still tell if it’s something that gets stuck with or not. Again, if nothing else, this continues to give you an interesting look into my cinematic tastes. Over the course of the year you can sort of get a feel for what my current favorites are, but now we can look to the past a bit more. Alright then, here goes nothing folks…behold my picks for this particular ceremony: Best Picture – Up in the Air The nominees here were A Serious Man, An Education, Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Precious, and Up. The main snub here, in my book at least, was (500) Days of Summer, and I nearly went with the actual winner in The Hurt Locker, but Up in the Air was my #1 film of this year, so that made it pretty academic in the end. Best Director – Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker A history making and diverse category this time out, the field consisted of Kathryn Bigelow for The Hurt Locker, James Cameron for Avatar, Lee Daniels for Precious, Jason Reitman for Up in the Air, and Quentin Tarantino for Inglourious Basterds. I believe Marc Webb was snubbed for (500) Days of Summer and really wish that Reitman had come closer to winning, but when you come right down to it, I can’t argue with Bigelow. The first woman to ever win Best Director gets my vote here as well. Best Actor – George Clooney for Up in the Air Here the nominees were Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart, George Clooney for Up in the Air, Colin Firth for A Single Man, Morgan Freeman for Invictus, and Jeremy Renner for The Hurt Locker. The Academy missed the boat on nominating Sam Rockwell for Moon, but aside from him, I’d have to go for Clooney. Best Actress – Carey Mulligan for An Education The big snub to me here was Zooey Deschanel
HTC has started rolling out the new Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
PMA07:40
HTC has started rolling out the new Android 5.0.2
Lollipop update for its selfie smartphone - Desire
EYE. To our surprise, the Taiwanese company has
started seeding this Lollipop update first in its home
country - Taiwan. HTC Desire EYE Taiwan receives
Android 5.0.2. ROM version is 2.19.709.1 1008.9MB.
LlabTooFeR (@LlabTooFeR) April 10, 2015 The new
Lollipop system update bears 2.19.709.1 build version
and weighs 1008.9MB heavy. The update brings all great
features of the Lollipop version but surprisingly doesn't
bump the Sense UI to Sense 7 version. Instead, the update
has Sense 6.55 on board. LlabTooFer, a ROM developer,
estimated that the Sense 7.0 UI will arrive with Android 5.1
update and will be made available for several existing models.
We look forward to the improvements especially in the camera section.
LG tablet to get updated to Android Lollipop
PMA07:36
So far the only LG tablet to get updated to Android
Lollipop is the G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition,
unsurprisingly since in that case such rollouts are
handled by Google. However, if you own one of LG's
three midrange tablets launched last year, you're
apparently in for a treat too.
The LG G Pad 7.0, G Pad 8.0, and G Pad 10.1
should all run Lollipop starting this Sunday, on April 12.
This is obviously the intended day for the commencing
of the rollout.
Getting it to all the devices out there might
take a few days, keep that in mind. And as usual, we might
see different regions scoring the update at different times.
On the other hand, LG says the updates will be available
to download on its website as well, so perhaps you'll be
able to grab the necessary files and install them through
your computer if you don't like waiting.

Google uses its Internet search technology to serve advertisements based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted advertisement system may enroll through Google AdWords. AdSense has become one of the popular programs that specializes in creating and placing banner advertisements on a website, because the advertisements are less intrusive and the content of the advertisements is often relevant to the website.
Many websites use AdSense to monetize their content; it is the most popular advertising network.AdSense has been particularly important for delivering advertising revenue to small websites that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and sales people to generate revenue with. To display contextually relevant advertisements on a website, webmasters place a brief Javascript code on the websites' pages. Websites that are content-rich have been very successful with this advertising program, as noted in a number of publisher case studies on the AdSense website. AdSense publishers may only place up to three link units on a page, in addition to the three standard ad units, and two search boxes. This restriction is not applicable for premium publishers who work directly with account managers at Google.
