This solution enables creation and optimizing interactive digital publications for various tablet devices such as iPad, Motorola Xoom and the PlayBook.

Also Adobe is introducing a brand new Adobe Content Viewer, which allows to test how the publication will look on tablet devices without downloading the document on to a real device. After electronic publication is ready one can open it on their iPad with Adobe Viewer.

New Foo Fighter Album released

Going back to the garage hardly means that the Foo Fighters are slumming on their seventh studio album, "Wasting Light." Recorded in the garage of frontman Dave Grohl's home in Encino, Calif., the 11-song set is an explosive, high-octane burst of rock energy from a 16-year-old band that is tightly honed and righteously raw. Butch Vig-who worked with Grohl while producing Nirvana's landmark "Nevermind" (1991)-guides those two sensibilities into a potent attack. Some of the album's arch, twisting dynamics owe as much to Rush as they do to Led Zeppelin or the Sex Pistols. But the ebb-and-flow power-rock melodicism that's the Foos' stock in trade is in fine form on such tracks as "A Matter of Time," first single "Rope," "Arlandria," "Back & Forth" and "Bridge Burning," while guests Krist Novoselic ("I Should Have Known") and Bob Mould ("Dear Rosemary") add emotional and sonic depth to Grohl's soul-searching peeks into his past.

MIB 3 News

Will Smith and Josh Brolin Are Men in Black … Suits from MIB 3 Set

Take a gander at your first look at Will Smith and Josh Brolin on the Bronx, New York set of “Men in Black 3″ yesterday. In the sequel, Smith’s suave, wisecracking MIB character Agent J goes back in time where he meets a young Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones’ character, now played by Josh Brolin as a younger man) and must save the world from an alien menace or some such. You know how this thing goes, it ain’t exactly brain surgery. Expect more Tomfoolery, lots of sight gags, and if the first two movies are any indication, shockingly shoddy CGI.

The film also stars Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn and Johnny Knoxville. Barry Sonnenfield, who directed the first two films in the series, returns behind the camera for the third time around.
“Men in Black 3″ saves the world from the scum of the universe one more time on May 23 2012.


Windows 8

Windows 8 M1 Build 7850 Leaks to the Web

Windows 8 leak season is in full swing and today we’ve learned that a leak of an early Milestone 1 build of Windows 8 has been posted to a BetaArchive FTP site. So far, the build is only available to private members, but is said by many to be legitimate and will soon be available to the public through the wonderful, albeit sometimes shady, world of torrent sites. The build is listed as:

6.1.7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508_x86fre_client-enterprise_en-us.iso – 2.45 GB

Windows 8 has already passed Milestone 2 and is said to be nearing M3 with a beta to come later this fall. While many sites confirm the authenticity of the build, I would not recommend any users rush out to download and install this one especially as your main OS. Keep in mind this is an older build (possibly September 2010), so many Windows 7 elements may be present.


Rosie Huntington-The new cast member of Transformers

Apparently the folks at CinemaCon (formerly ShoWest) think so highly of Michael Bay’s latest eye candy Rosie Huntington-Whiteley that they’ve awarded the former Victoria’s Secret lingerie supermodel the coveted “Female Star of Tomorrow” award.

Okay, so “coveted” is probably a bit of a stretch, especially when the winner of this year is a first-timer whose first movie hasn’t even come out yet. And from what I’ve seen, Huntington-Whiteley pretty much stands around gawking prettily as giant alien robots battle it out around her. Plus, she dresses way too respectable for someone who is supposed to be filling the “sexy eye candy” role formerly filled out oh-so-nicely by the fired Megan Fox. What’s up with the power suits, Rosie?

In case you were wondering, Chris Hemsworth won the male equivalent of the reward. I’m guessing he’s probably not all that enthused with being lumped in the same winner’s category as a former underwear model, but I could be wrong, especially if they LITERALLY lumped him in the same room with her. She is quite fetching, after all.
