| Drive Thru Prank By Magic Of Rahat Goes Viral (Video) Posted: 10 Jan 2013 02:55 PM PST A drive thru prank video has gone viral after it was posted on Youtube, tricking drive thru employees into thinking that the car is empty and drives by itself.  Drive Thru Prank being explained by Rahat Image Credit: Youtube screen grab Magic of Rahat posted the viral video on Tuesday, January 8, 2013, and has been viewed at nearly 4 million times already at the time of this writing. In the drive thru prank video as shown below, Rahat showed how he managed to trick drive thru employees by wearing a seat costume making the driver looks invisible. The reactions of the employees were priceless. “There’s no one in the car! The car just pulled up. There’s no one in it,” a group of drive thru employees reacted after seeing the “empty car”. “Am I trippin’ son?” one of the prank victim said. Then she instructed another employee to take a picture of the car and said, “Instagram that joint.” “Oh, my God!,” another drive thru prank victim, obviously shocked, said. Meanwhile, the best reaction I think goes to that McDonald‘s drive thru employee at 2:35 mark of the video. He closed and open his window three times, looked away and looked back, expecting that the driver might magically appear. Below is the Drive Thru Prank Video by Rahat. Enjoy!

| Britney Spears quits from X Factor USA after learning that Simon Cowell will fire her, reports say Posted: 10 Jan 2013 02:43 AM PST Is Britney Spears out from X Factor USA? Well, this is what some reports are now saying; noting that she decided to quit from the show after she learned that Simon Cowell will fire her as a X Factor Season 3 judge. The report comes almost a month after L.A. Reid announced that he will not also be returning to the show.  Britney Spears and Simon Cowell Image Credit: Frank Micelotta/Fox According to TMZ on Wednesday, January 9, 2013, multiple sources told them that Britney Spears quits from being among the X Factor judges and that she will be focusing more on her music. Spears, 31, is now working on her 8th studio album, which will be released through RCA Records. “Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music.” A source was quoted at TMZ, with Britney reportedly considering doing a concert tour again since her 2011 Femme Fatale Tour was a success. Her Femme Fatale album won various Billboard Awards on the same year. Apparently, a source was quoted at Daily Mail on the same day and confirmed that X Factor creator Simon Cowell was about to fire her because her performance was “boring.” Show insiders allegedly complained that she was not able to make a connection with the contestants. “Britney and her team knew it was unlikely she’d be asked back as a judge. The producers have already been making other plans for next season over the holidays. The reality is that toward the end of last season the main players knew they wanted to replace both Britney and LA Reid.” The source said. Meanwhile, Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment for the Fox Broadcasting Company, had only good words for Britney Spears for being an X Factor USA judge, and could be an indication that the network liked her performance. She reportedly received $15 million in X Factor Season 2. “I actually thought it went very, very well. It was fraught with unknowns. I think Britney did a really good job. She came on, people remain fascinated by her and always will be.” Reilly was quoted at E! News, telling to reporters during an executive session at the Television Critics Association gathering in Pasadena this Tuesday. “People got to know her a little bit, maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came…She tucked in really nicely on that bench.” Reilly added, noting that he still does not know if Britney Spears will still be hired in X Factor Season 3. Fox has no official statement yet. |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 11:31 PM PST A total of 5 new Apple products may be released this year, 2013, which include the ones being rumored such as new operating software and updated versions of their existing devices, along with some of the not-so-popular products that were rumored but were not consistently talked about.  Apple store in Upper West Side, New York Image Credit: Apple.com As noted on a recent report at CNN Money, Kurt Wagner of Fortune Magazine compiled the list of the 5 new Apple products, as predicted by research analysts Gene Munster and Douglas Clinton of Piper Jaffray, a leading investment bank and asset management firm, which also specializes in Internet companies. Interestingly, the first new Apple product in the list is the Apple Radio, and is being expected for release this coming March 2013. This free radio service, which will be monetized via ads, is being noted to be part of Apple iTunes. This is being predicted to be released simultaneously with the iPad Mini with Retina Display. The iPad Mini, which was unveiled in October last year, alongside with Retina MacBook Pro, the iPad 4, and the new iMacs, sports a 7.9-inch display with 1024 x 768 resolution and a dual-core A5 chip. By theory, a retina display can provide crystal clear images on the screen, and the pixels seemed to be unnoticeable. The next Apple product being expected for release this year is the iOS 7, the upgraded version of their iOS 6, which was highly criticized particularly the Apple Maps. Back in September 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized for the problem and even recommended their customers to use the products of their competitors. As reported earlier, a source told The Next Web (TNW) that Apple is currently testing the iOS 7, which is now expected for release this coming June 2013, along with the iPhone 5S. Other reports said that it could be called the iPhone 6 and that Apple might be getting rid of the S index on its upcoming iPhone. Based on the predictions of Munster and Clinton, the new iPhone 5S will be released on September 2013, contrary to what TNW reported. But without considering the release date, it is being expected to sport an updated camera, but will likely be similar to the existing iPhone 5. So, will this be the so-called cheap iPhone? Lastly, Apple is being predicted to release the Apple TV on November 2013, which was said to be not an upgraded version of the digital receiver box Apple TV but rather an actual TV set. Munster and Clinton noted that this plasma Apple TV set measures 42″ to 55″ and will may between $1500 and $2000, a bit more expensive than those from competitors such as Samsung. But the question is, if all of these 5 new Apple products will be released, do you think that Apple fans will still be excited and will wait in long lines at Apple stores to buy them? |
| Posted: 09 Jan 2013 08:34 PM PST The Razzies worst-of list was led by the Twilight finale movie, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2‘, with a total of 11 nominations in 10 categories, as announced on Tuesday, January 9, 2013.

His film ‘That’s My Boy‘ now has 8 nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Supporting Actor (for both Nick Swardson and Vanilla Ice), and yes, another Worst Actor for Sandler. Below is the complete Razzies worst-of list, as summarized from Razzie.com. The 33rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, February 23, 2013, one day before Oscar Awards.
