Japan's Resident Evil 6 bundle costs $1,300: nets you a leather jacket, doesn't make you cool
Engadget has seen plenty of limited edition items looking to lighten the wallets of oil barons and hedge fund managers alike. Now Capcom's readying its bundle for Resident Evil 6's Japan launch and it includes protagonist Leon's leather jacket -- available in sizes S, M, L and XL. A complete set of as-yet unrevealed "tablet cases", supposedly emblazoned with character designs will also arrive in the set, as those wealthy enough to afford the 104,000 yen ($1,300) set presumably have at least four devices to garnish with Resident Evil livery. Japanese one-percenters can hit up the preorder site -- with their choice of jacket size -- at the source below.

Fast And Furious 6 Is A No For Jason Statham

We were thrilled by the thought of Jason Statham joining Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and the rest of "The Fast and the Furious" gang for not one, but two new films for the franchise. Stathman is no stranger to action and explosions having been in "The Expendables," "Killer Elite," and three "Transporter" movies. [...]

Those who are online use the Internet more than ever before, but about one in five U.S. adults is simply not online.

How Pinterest Could Save Google [Google Inc]

It's no secret that Google desperately wants Google+ to be the cornerstone of how you use the internet. The problem? No one's taking the bait. It might be time for something drastic.

Are Coreboot-enabled Ivy Bridge-based Chromebooks on the way? We'll have to wait until Google I/O to find out.

Scarlett Johansson Is 'Just Happy To Be Alive' After 'The Avengers'

'They beat the crap out of me,' actress tells MTV News about her most formidable opponent.
By Fallon Prinzivalli, with reporting by Kara Warner

We already know from the first clip that Scarlett Johansson has some serious stunt work in "Marvel's The Avengers" — and rightfully so! Her character Natalie Romanoff, better known as Black Widow, is an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and what kind of spy would she be if she didn't kick some butt?

When MTV News caught up with the actress at the red-carpet premiere of the film on Wednesday, we asked her which stunt sequence in the film she was most proud of mastering, and her answer almost turned into a spoiler reveal!

"The stunt sequence that I've been the most proud of is probably my fight with..." Johansson stopped abruptly. "Actually, I don't know if I can say!"

She looks at someone off camera and asks, "Can I say? I don't know if I can."

When we asked her if it's Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Johansson replied, "No," and her eyes became playfully shifty as she continued, "All I can say is that I had to fight someone else in this film, and they beat the crap out of me in stunt rehearsals. I have to say I could not believe it."

If it's not Loki, who could she be talking about? One of Joss Whedon's mysterious aliens, perhaps? All we know right now is that whoever he — or quite possibly she — is, they have some bigger muscles than Black Widow.

"I was like, 'Can you hold it back, OK? You know, I'm trying to work it out here. I've got smaller muscles than you,' " Johansson said. "I was dragged across the [floor]. When we finally finished [filming] that scene I was just happy to be alive."

The starlet also told MTV News which Avenger got roughed up the most. "We all took a pretty big beating," she said. "I would have to say either [Black] Widow or Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). We're on the ground so we're fighting hand-to-hand and it hurts."

Considering Johansson was "just happy to be alive," we're putting our money on Black Widow.

"Marvel's The Avengers" hits theaters May 4 and experts are already predicting a massively strong opening weekend. Deadline reports a box office estimate of $125 million plus, which would make it the biggest non-sequel opening for Marvel. Tickets for the midnight release are already selling out fast.

Check out everything we've got on "Marvel's The Avengers."

Black bear captured, returned to Angeles National Forest

By all accounts, the 400-pound black bear, now synonymous with Glendale, is very, very smart. Smarter, authorities say, than the average bear.

After he discovered Costco meatballs in a resident's refrigerator about a month ago, authorities say, the bear has returned to the same house in the 3800 block of Cedarbend Drive three times seeking the same dinner. He even monitored trash schedules in multiple neighborhoods, nailing down the days when he could nab free food.

But on Tuesday, the meatball-lovingbear'sgood fortune ran out. He was felled by multiple tranquilizer darts in a drama that unfolded on morning television, then was carted deep into the Angeles National Forest with what California Department of Fish and Game officials described as a "heck of a hangover."

"I feel sorry for it. It's just down here trying to survive," said Tod Sciacqua, 44, of Montrose. "This is what happens when you build homes against the forest. We encroach on their land, they end up in our backyards. That's the way it goes."

The bear, who is impersonated on Twitter as "Glen Bearian," had his fate sealed sometime after 6 a.m. Tuesday when Department of Fish and Game Lt. Martin Wall was summoned to Montrose after police received four reports of bear sightings.

By about 7:30 a.m., the bear had been struck twice by tranquilizer darts, Wall said. About an hour later, the specialist was mixing chemicals for another dart in the back of a truck bed when a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy approached and told him: "We've got to end this thing."

So after a militant two-block march to Montrose Avenue, Wall hand-injected a third dart into the sleepy but not asleep bear. That did the trick. Within minutes, Wall and seven deputies used a blanket to carry the knocked-out ursine out of a narrow apartment complex gate.

"It's like moving a water bed without a frame," Wall said afterward.

In front of dozens of locals ? some dressed in pajamas, others carrying their children on their shoulders ? authorities slid the blanketed bear into the cage for transport. When the door slammed shut, the spectators let out a cheer, saying the applause was as much for their own renewed safety as for the bear that became the town's mascot.

"It's sort of the local legend of Montrose," Pam Raines, 58, said of the bear. "He's never hurt anybody."

"We get coyotes all the time and they're more dangerous than the bears that come down here," added Chris Lagerstrom, 31, of La Crescenta. "We love cuddly bears."

Deputies, however, were taking no chances, banging on residents' doors about 6 a.m. Tuesday to warn them of the bear. Valerie Jordan, 65, lives on Mayfield Avenue, a block from where the animal was eventually detained. She said authorities warned her to stay inside because a bear was nearby.

"It tore through these plants, tore some of my old fence and was cornered behind this little rental house," Jordan said, pointing as she walked through an overgrown backyard nearby. Weeks ago, authorities said, the bear picked an orange from a tree, and Tuesday, Jordan pointed at bear poop that had been marked by authorities. It sat directly beneath a tangerine tree.

"I think everyone in this community was concerned about the bear's well-being," Jordan said. "Poor thing. It was terribly frightened."

Department of Fish and Game spokesman Andrew Hughan said that the bear was "groggy and grumpy but doing well" after being released 25 miles deep into the Angeles National Forest about 1 p.m.

"He just wandered out, looked around, and took stock of his surroundings," Hughan said. "He's got a heck of a hangover, mostly."

And once the bear was released, he had no trouble finding an Internet connection among the trees

"Does a bear tweet in the woods?" Glen Bearian asked on Twitter late Tuesday afternoon. "Yes. Yes, he does."

Kubuntu 12.10 gains Blue Systems as sponsor, Canonical waves farewell

Image
Everyone loves a happy ending, and it's with this in mind that we share the latest round of good news from the Kubuntu team. Starting with version 12.10, the popular KDE variant of Ubuntu will have sponsorship from Blue Systems. Previously, Canonical announced its intention to drop its sponsorship of Kubuntu after the 12.04 LTS, Precise Pangolin release, but later revealed a willingness to let the Kubuntu team seek other sponsors. Fortunately, it's found a good one. Blue Systems has a solid track record in the KDE community and similarly sponsors distributions such as Netrunner and the KDE variant of Linux Mint. Likewise, it's encouraged Kubuntu developers to stay close to their roots and follow the same successful formula as before. The future looks bright for Kubuntu, and it's full of Plasma.

Verizon pushes its upgrade fee to $30 on April 22nd

Image
Ah, it was only a matter of time before Verizon decided to jump on the bandwagon of ridiculously high upgrade fees, now that Sprint and AT&T have both exercised the option. Big Red announced this morning that April 22nd will be the magic date in which it will charge you a cool $30 just for the privilege of purchasing a subsidized handset and signing a fresh two-year commitment. Granted, it's still less than the $36 sum that Verizon's two largest competitors now demand, but we're going in the wrong direction here, folks. Catch the dreary announcement after the break.

North Korea says ready to launch rocket

PYONGYANG (Reuters) - Isolated and impoverished North Korea said on Tuesday it was ready to go ahead with its proposed long-range rocket launch, an announcement that sparked immediate condemnation from South Korea and Russia and a plea from China, its main ally, for calm.

The launch of the Unha-3 rocket, which North Korea says will merely put a weather satellite into space, breaches U.N. sanctions imposed to prevent Pyongyang from developing a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead.

Russia, a former backer of North Korea which has boosted economic ties with Pyongyang, denounced the program.

"We consider Pyongyang's decision to conduct a launch of a satellite an example of disregard for U.N. Security Council decisions," state-run news agency RIA quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich as saying.

North Korea defended the launch as a sovereign right.

"The weight of our satellite is 100 kg.?If it was?a weapon, a 100 kg payload wouldn't have much of an effect... Our launching tower is built on an open site," said Ryu Kum-chol, vice director of the space development department of the Korean Central Space Committee.

Ryu said that the rocket assembly would be complete on Tuesday.

The launch is set to take place between Thursday and next Monday around the 100th birthday celebrations of the founder of North Korea, Kim Il-sung, whose grandson, Kim Jong-un, now rules. Kim Il-sung died in 1994.

"The launch of the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite is the gift from our people to our great leader, comrade Kim Il-sung, on the occasion of his 100th birthday, so this cannot be a missile test," Ryu added.

The West says the launch is a disguised ballistic missile test by a country which walked out of so-called six-party disarmament talks three years ago.

NUCLEAR TEST ALSO PLANNED, SAYS SOUTH

South Korea, which remains technically at war with the North after their 1950-53 conflict ended with a truce rather than a treaty, warned Pyongyang it would deepen its isolation if it went ahead with the launch.

Security sources in Seoul, citing satellite images, have said that North Korea is also preparing a third nuclear test following the rocket launch, something it did in 2009, a move bound to trigger further condemnation from the West.

"It is disappointing that the North is forcing its people to endure sacrifices with this provocative action and is bringing isolation and sanctions to itself from the international community," the South's Unification Ministry said in a statement.

The rocket will bisect a sea that separates South Korea and China and its flight path will take it towards the Philippines where a second stage of the rocket is due to come down in waters close to the archipelago.

China, which backs North Korea economically and diplomatically, reiterated its pleas for calm and said it had "repeatedly expressed its concern and anxiety about the developments," Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin told a press briefing in Beijing.

The prospect of a North Korean rocket launch has alarmed Japan, which was overflown by an earlier rocket and said it would shoot it down if it crossed its airspace.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said in Tokyo he would discuss North Korea with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.

"I think a message needs to go to the North Koreans," he told reporters. "You have a new leader, there's an opportunity to take a new path. This is a country incapable even of feeding its own people, that needs to change its approach."

Airlines, including South Korea's Korean Air Lines, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Air Inc, have re-routed flights to avoid the rocket's path.

News that the launch would proceed on time hit South Korea's currency, the won, which eased a little, but the stock market had already closed.

Faces of Metastatic Breast Cancer Giveaway: Win a $250 Donation ...

giveaways! ? #gno featured

What is metastatic breast cancer (MBC)? Breast cancer is considered metastatic or advanced when it has spread from the breast to another part of the body, such as the bones, liver, lungs or brain. Those with MBC are facing a very different disease than women with early-stage breast cancer, and most will be on treatment for the rest of their lives. It?s important to keep the MBC conversation going beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

Did you know?

  • There are currently 155,000 people in the United States living with MBC
  • Unlike early-stage breast cancer, there is currently no cure for MBC
  • 41,000 women die of MBC each year
  • Some people with MBC will live for 10+ years battling the disease and receiving medicines for the remainder of their lives

The Faces of MBC ?Circle of Support? Facebook application helps those living with metastatic breast cancer build a network of support and helps caregivers and friends offer that support. It allows those living with MBC to ask for the specific types of support they need ? whether it?s a day at the movies, a ride to the doctor or a homemade meal. Supporters can then select from this customized list and make a ?promise? of support. This app is also a place where family and friends can offer words of encouragement. The app is private, so only those with MBC can select which of their Facebook friends becomes a part of their Circle of Support.

Visit www.facesofmbc.org to join the Faces of MBC Circle of Support Facebook application or watch this short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1l4enUWJGM to learn more about how the app works.

El viaje del presidente de Pakist?n a India relanza las relaciones entre los dos pa?ses

India y Pakist?n han dado un paso para regularizar su di?logo al m?ximo nivel con el viaje a Nueva Delhi del presidente paquistan?, Asif Al? Zardari, primero a la capital india de un jefe de Estado de su pa?s en siete a?os. Durante su estancia, Zardari invit? al primer ministro de la India, Manmohan Singh, a visitar Pakist?n, en un encuentro en el que ambos abordaron todos los problemas de fondo que enfrentan a dos Estados que son rivales y las potencias nucleares del Sur de Asia. Seg?n recoge la edici?n digital de BBC, el encuentro ha sido "amistoso".

"Pakist?n quiere una mejor relaci?n con la India", asegur? este domingo Zardari tras la entrevista, en una breve declaraci?n a la prensa con Singh, que aprovech? la ocasi?n para precisar que ha aceptado la invitaci?n y que el viaje se producir? "cuando sea conveniente". "Estar? encantado de visitar Pakist?n", apunt? Singh, que indic? que hab?a tratado con Zardari "todos los asuntos de inter?s bilateral" -aunque no destac? ninguno-, y se limit? a afirmar que la reuni?n, de unos cuarenta minutos, hab?a sido "muy satisfactoria".

Tras el encuentro, que Zardari y Singh celebraron a solas, ambos mandatarios almorzaron junto a sus respectivas delegaciones, antes de que el presidente paquistan? se desplazara por la tarde al santuario musulm?n de Ajmer Sharif, al sur de la capital india. El peregrinaje a ese lugar santo era el objetivo formal de la visita de Zardari, de apenas horas de duraci?n y car?cter privado pero en la que le acompa?? un nutrido s?quito de naturaleza pol?tica en el que figur? el ministro paquistan? de Interior, Rehman Malik.

Sony to cut 10,000 jobs and slash bonuses, says Japanese newspaper

Sony to cut 10,000 jobs and reduce bonuses, says Japanese newspaperThere have been some major adjustments at Sony HQ already, but Japanese business sheet Nikkei reckons they're nothing compared to what's on the horizon. It reports that, come an announcement on April 12th, Kaz Hirai will reveal plans to clear out 10,000 jobs by the end of this year -- that's six percent of his workforce. The paper also says that seven execs, including chairman Howard Stringer, could be asked to forgo their bonuses, as the company concedes a $3.2 billion loss for 2011. It's a just a single report and it's entirely possible that none of this will happen, but merely the hint of such austerity could perhaps serve Hirai's interests, even if he ends up being less drastic when Thursday comes around.
