LG launches LG Cloud, blows raspberries at S-Cloud

Four days before the purported launch of Samsung's cloud service, Korea's other technology giant has unveiled LG Cloud. The eponymous service offers 5GB free space as standard, while owners of LG's Smart TVs or smartphones will get 50GB free for six months. It'll push content between your devices, appropriately compressed for the medium, so high definition images on your TV will be slimmed down to save your phone's data cap. The free beta begins in South Korea and the US from May 1st, with a global rollout pencilled in for next year -- but don't worry, the company made it clear you'll be able to use it on your holidays, if you can find a signal.

Microsoft invests $300 million in new Barnes & Noble 'strategic partnership'

Well, that's an interesting end to all those legal tussles. Microsoft and bookseller Barnes and Noble have decided to buddy-up in the face of competitors like Amazon and Apple. The strategic partnership -- Microsoft loves 'em -- would come in the form of a new Barnes and Noble subsidiary that deals with all things Nook, in addition to its education business. The bookseller would hold onto the lion's share at 82.4 percent, with the remaining 17.6 percent in Microsoft's control. The first benefit posited would be a Nook app for the incoming Windows 8. Barnes and Noble's Nook Study software would also benefit from a friendly boost on all that Windows hardware. Maybe all those other legal matches will resolve in similar warm-and-fuzzy business hook-ups -- but we doubt it.

Mozilla dispatches Firefox 3.6, fills its chair with version 13 beta

If you've been defiantly clinging onto Firefox 3.6 by your fingertips, bad news. Mozilla is officially putting it to sleep -- whether you like it or not -- by auto-updating users to version 12. You've still got a few days to bid your emotional farewells, with the switchover being pegged as early May. But, the browser's creators stop short of setting a date for you to get the flowers delivered by. Official support for the 2010 release finished this week, and the final bout of security fixes was back in January. At the other end of the spectrum, Firefox 13 wobbled up onto its beta legs yesterday, bringing a new homepage, Google's new SPDY protocol and tab extra features with it. If you're making the leap, don't panic if you find some old friends missing.

Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr. Expecting Baby #2

The Hollywood baby boom continues with the announcement that Sarah Michelle Gellar and hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. are expecting their second child together. Sarah and Freddie are getting a new addition to their already beautiful family. It has been revealed that the Ringer actress is pregnant with baby number two. The couple already has a three year old daughter, Charlotte Grace. Although Gellar and Prinze have announced the pregnancy that is pretty much all they are confirming right now. There is no information as to whether or not they know the sex of the baby or when their new bundle of joy will be arriving. I would say she is probably due in the late fall but that is just my two cents. Maybe they will release more info soon but I doubt it they are very private and kept their first pregnancy on the down low if you know what I mean. As I am sure many of you are aware the couple married since 2002 met while filming the oh so bad it was good horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Both Sarah and Freddie grew up in Hollywood but as adults have kept a [...]
