NBA Finals is set for Game 7


The NBA Finals 2010 is set to reach one of the most exciting conclusions possible as in Game 6 last night, the Los Angeles Lakers drew level with the Boston Celtics to make it three games apiece. That takes the finals to the seventh and final game to be played tomorrow (Thursday), for the championship title.


Did they think that Phil Jackson would not have his team ready to work hard?

Maybe the Celtics came to L.A. thinking about two games to get one win. That kind of attitude is what finds them in a Game 7.

The good news is the Celtics have Rasheed Wallace and Glen 'Big Baby' Davis to add to the fray. The bad news is that they will have to throw Sheldon Williams in that mix and have to deal more with ‘sheeds’ volatile temper.

“Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)?” FIFA World Cup 2010 Theme Song




Lyrics

“Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)?”

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...

Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa

Listen to your god
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Dont wait in line
Y vamos por Todo

People are raising
Their Expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations

Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it

If you get down
Get up Oh oh...
When you get down
Get up eh eh...

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

iPhone 4 from Apple

iPhone 4 is less than 10mm thick and has more detailed screen, front-facing camera, gyroscope and faster processor like iPad



Here's the quick guide to the new features:
• Multitasking: the oft-requested feature has finally been added after Apple worked on how to balance multi-tasking without sucking battery life or performance. Multitasking has been organised through seven types of service, so music apps would be able to play while you make a VOIP call, for example.
• Folders: Something similar to that pretty stacking feature for folders on the latest OS for desktop Macs will be added, which will make it easier for those of us with loads of apps to organise them in folders.
• iBooks: The feature launched with the iPad will now work across iPhones an iPod Touch too.
• iAd: Apple's fledgling mobile ads system is designed to deliver ads without taking the user away from the app or game they are using, and will give developers a 60% revenue share.
• Mail: Apple's email client gets a unified inbox, so anyone with multiple accounts can see all the main in one view. Messages will be organised by thread and attachments open in third-party apps.
• Business: Apple has added email encryption and encryption for other apps to increase support for enterprise users, as well as improving mobile device management features, support for SSL VPN and wireless app distribution.
• Gaming: A major step-up in Apple's competition to portable games consoles, like Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, Apple is adding a layer that unifies players' social profiles across all games.

Proclamation Day of the 15th President and Vice President of the Philippines

MANILA, Philippines – Senator Benigno Aquino III has been proclaimed as the country’s 15th President.
Chorus of cheers hailed from the gallery as Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Speaker Prospero Nograles proclaimed Aquino and Vice President Jejomar Binay at 3:40 p.m., officially sealing their victory in the May 10 automated elections.

Lakers - Victory in Game 3

BOSTON -- Derek Fisher broke down the court after yet another miss by Ray Allen, with nothing between him and the basket. And nothing -- not even three hard-charging Celtics -- was going to keep the Los Angeles Lakers guard from finishing off a Game 3 victory.
A hard foul from all three pursuing Celtics sent Fisher sprawling to the floor, but not before he laid in his fifth basket of the fourth quarter and converted the three-point play to help the Lakers beat Boston 91-84 and take a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals.

Bryant had 25 points after three quarters, but he did not score for the first 10 minutes of the fourth. That's when Fisher took over, hitting four of five Lakers baskets after Boston cut a 17-point first-half lead down to one point to reclaim the home-court advantage they lost when the Celtics won Game 2 in L.A.
Game 4 is Thursday night in Boston, and a Lakers victory would put them within one win of avenging the loss to their longtime rivals in the 2008 finals -- not to mention the eight other times the Celtics have won an NBA title at the Lakers' expense.
