Jennifer Aniston: Women Don't Need Men to Be Good Moms

In her new movie The Switch, Jennifer Aniston plays a woman who decides to get pregnant in a non-traditional way – with a "turkey baster," her friend jokes in the film.  During a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, the actress defended her character's leap into single motherhood by using a sperm donor.  "Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."

"Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."


When asked about the repercussions of raising a child without a father, Aniston said she believes all types of families can raise healthy kids.  "The point of the movie is what is it that defines family? It isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot," she said. "Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere. That is what I love about this movie. It is saying it is not the traditional sort of stereotype of what we have been taught as a society of what family is."  Aniston, who has been the subject of frequent tabloid rumors about having children, said she still wants to be a mom. "Yeah, I have said it years before and I still say it today," she said when asked if she still wants to have a family.  But she won't be using a turkey baster: "I don't have plans on that, no."

Internet call service Skype files for IPO

NEW YORK: Skype SA, the Internet calling service that was controlled until last year by eBay Inc, filed for a US initial public offering. Luxembourg-based Skype tentatively put the value of the offering at US$100mil (RM320mil), but that's a rough estimate only used as a basis for calculating the filing fee for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Skype did not say when its shares would go on sale, or at what price. It expects to list on the Nasdaq Stock Market under an unspecified symbol.  eBay sold 70% of Skype for US$2bil (RM6.4bil) to an investor group led by private equity firm Silver Lake, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Andreessen Horowitz. The group owns 56% of the company.  The remaining 14% is owned by Joltid, a firm controlled by the founders of Skype, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. EBay kept a 30% stake.

Friis and Zennstrom sold Skype to eBay for US$2.6bil (RM8.3bil today) in 2005 and left the company in 2007. Between Nov 19, 2009, when it became independent of eBay, and Dec 31, Skype lost US$99.7mil (RM319mil) on US$92.4mil (RM296mil) in revenue, according to the filing with the SEC.Calls between Skype users are free. The company makes most of its money from calls that Skype users place to landline and cellular phones. Skype said a portion of the IPO shares will be made available to its customers, "based on the nature and extent of their relationship with Skype."

Another Internet calling service, Vonage Holdings Corp, offered shares to its customers in its 2006 IPO. That turned into a disaster, as unsophisticated investors jumped at the chance to participate, thinking that they could cash out soon. The shares tanked immediately after going on sale, and have never recovered their value. Lawsuits followed.

200 Pounds Korean Actress Gone With Plastic Surgery

Voted as “best body” by Shape magazine readers, Kim A-joong was not always the beauty that she is now. It is really amazing what a little makeup, hair, weight loss and plastic surgery can do! Looking at the before picture, she has obviously lost some weight since highschool (many Korean girls who through a high-school fat stage, like the frosh fifteen). After losing the weight and gaining confidence, the next step is getting the double folds in the eyes. Getting the eyes done is no big deal – almost every girl goes under the knife to make the eyes bigger. In her case, I think (although I am not an expert) that she also got her eyes widened- the whites of the eyes are more visible. After the eyes is the nose. For Kim Ajoong, it’s very obvious that she got her nose done.

For celebs, the minimum nose lift is about 5mm. If you are a regular person, an extra lift of 2-3mm is usually the norm. At the same time, celebs usually have to have cosmetic dentistry. Again, Kim Ajoong looks like she has veneers and her front teeth are larger (and whiter). To straighten teeth quickly, many celebs just get their teeth pulled and re-planted.

The flip side of this is that your gums may turn grayish which is not attractive (check out Kim Heesun – she never shows her gums when she smiles). Also, it looks like that she might have gotten an implant in her forehead to make it look rounder. All this work at the cost of millions of won has helped Kim Ajoong be the beauty that she is now.

Will Justin Timberlake replace Simon Cowell on Idol?

No one was under the illusion that Simon Cowell would be easy to replace. And, as speculation about who will sit in the hot seat he’s vacated on American Idol continues, two more big names have hit the radar: Both Justin Timberlake and Elton John are on producer Simon Fuller‘s short list, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

What about the future of the current judges? Sources tell THR that FOX is looking to lure back ex-Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe, who has said he would clean house if it were up to him.

The judge most likely to be left standing is Randy Jackson, according to THR, but it would also be difficult to let go Ellen DeGeneres, who has a multi-year contract with FOX. According to a source in her camp, she’s prepared to fulfill the contract, THR reports. Kara DioGuardi‘s deal is year-to-year, and it has yet to be renewed.


Elton and Justin join Chris Isaak, Shania Twain and Harry Connick Jr. on the list of possible replacements.

Story for the day

One day, a teacher was teaching a lesson to the class about never giving up and how history will remember those who never gave up.

She asked the students: "Did Abraham Lincoln ever give up?"

All the students replied, "No".

She asked them again, "Did Edison ever give up?"

Again the students replied, "No".

After mentioning couple of great heroes' names, she finally asked them, "Did Joe Doe give up?"

On that, all the students replied, "Who is Joe Doe?"

She said, "You don't know his name because he gave up."

Before we think there is nothing we can achieve that is useful, let's think twice, may be ten times, even a hundred or a thousand times and let's always remember this:

"NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP."

Must watch movie 2010!

Serving up 3D in the home

We peer into the third dimension with the Samsung UA55C8000 TV and like what we see.

IT IS funny that TVs are actually getting thinner these days as 3D technology is becoming more common - what we get here is a situation where the TV itself is gradually becoming closer to a 2D piece of paper while the display is gaining more depth :-)
Anyway, lame jokes aside, regular readers of In.Tech will probably already about know my fanatical interest in all things 3D and when the Samsung UA55C8000 came in complete with 3D glassless. 

Despite its size, the UA55C8000 is a very slim TV and while you probably can't easily put it together by yourself (it's a simple two-man job), its a far cry from the days of CRT when even a 30in TV would require at least four people to carry. The TV itself is finished in a very nice brushed stainless steel bezel with an outer rim of clear plastic around the steel bezel.

Beyond that, the TV comes with a plethora of functions and even the MotionPlus video settings can be customised to your liking - either for smoothing out fast motion or reducing image blur.
Colours are very good on the TV although during some dark scenes I could clearly see some bright hotspots because of the LED sidelighting. The hotspots aren't really noticeable in general video viewing unless you look at a primarily black scene, and even then only if your room is darkened.

What are Management Information Systems?

Management Information Systems (MIS) is the term given to the discipline focused on the integration of computer systems with the aims and objectives on an organisation. The development and management of information technology tools assists executives and the general workforce in performing any tasks related to the processing of information. MIS and business systems are especially useful in the collation of business data and the production of reports to be used as tools for decision making.

MIS systems provide a valuable function in that they can collate into coherent reports unmanageable volumes of data that would otherwise be broadly useless to decision makers. By studying these reports decision-makers can identify patterns and trends that would have remained unseen if the raw data were consulted manually.

MIS systems can also use these raw data to run simulations – hypothetical scenarios that answer a range of ‘what if’ questions regarding alterations in strategy. For instance, MIS systems can provide predictions about the effect on sales that an alteration in price would have on a product. These Decision Support Systems (DSS) enable more informed decision making within an enterprise than would be possible without MIS systems.

Not only do MIS systems allow for the collation of vast amounts of business data, but they also provide a valuable time saving benefit to the workforce. Where in the past business information had to be manually processed for filing and analysis it can now be entered quickly and easily onto a computer by a data processor, allowing for faster decision making and quicker reflexes for the enterprise as a whole.
