China's Internet loses 'The Big Bang Theory,' U.S. TV shows


Chinese online video sites were forced to pull the plug on “The Big Bang Theory” and three other U.S. TV shows over the weekend on orders from the nation’s regulators, leaving Internet users scratching their heads over why the shows were targeted.

The four shows, including “The Good Wife”, “NCIS” and “The Practice,” had originally been among the licensed programs offered by some of China’s top video sites, but were mysteriously taken down. 

DUMPADAYOn Monday, the CEO of Sohu, one of China’s largest providers of online videos, signaled that Chinese regulators had stepped in, but declined to elaborate.

“Of course, I cannot comment on what happened,” said Sohu CEO Charles Zhang in an earnings call. But he called the shutdown “a standalone event,” adding that China’s policy on U.S. TV shows “was not tightening up.”

China’s other top video sites, including Youku Tudou, declined to comment. But a clampdown on U.S. TV shows would be a major blow to the companies. The sites are spending millions to legally offer hit U.S. TV shows as a way to draw in Chinese consumers. In Sohu’s case, U.S. TV shows make up less than 10 percent of its video traffic, according to Zhang.

China is already notorious for its vast online censorship that routinely blocks anti-government and sexual content. Recently, the nation’s authorities have launched a crackdown against online porn. One of China’s top Internet companies, Sina, was later found to have posted pornographic content, and was forced to publicly apologize.

But why China has targeted “The Big Bang Theory”—a sitcom revolving around four nerds and their girlfriends—is unknown. The country’s top online video sites are showing U.S. TV shows with far more violence and sexual content. Among them is “House of Cards”, which features a storyline about corrupt political dealings with China, and “The Walking Dead”, a show about a zombie apocalypse.

China’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television could not be reached for comment.

Samsung Galaxy S5 outsells Apple iPhone 5s in the US on launch weekend


Samsung is on a roll with the Galaxy S5, even though reports prior to the launch indicated that sales would be slow for the global smartphone leader.

A new report by iQmetrix highlights that Samsung sold more units of the S5 during its launch weekend (April 11-13, 2014), compared to Apple’s iPhone 5s (September 20-22, 2013).

During the launch period, the Galaxy S5 comprised 23 percent and 18 percent of the total phones sold in the US and Canada respectively. On the other hand, the iPhone 5s comprised just 18 percent of total phones sold in the US and 13 percent in Canada, during its launch weekend.

Breaking down the Galaxy S5 sales by region – it comprises 41 percent of phones sold during April 11-13 in the Southern US region, 30 percent in the Northeast, 23 percent in the Midwest, 21 percent in the West and 18% in Canada.

Another interesting bit the report highlights that despite the upcoming Galaxy S5 launch, Galaxy S4 sales were at its peak during the 2013 holiday season and also in January 2014. On the other hand, during the six month period prior to the iPhone 5s launch, the iPhone 5 sales dropped progressively.

It’s been just under two weeks since Samsung brought the Galaxy S5 to markets around the world. Samsung has been gung-ho about the prospects of the S5 since day one and has proclaimed that it will outsell the Galaxy S4. Check out our Galaxy S5 unboxing video.

Moreover, a recent report revealed that the S5 accounts for nearly one percent of the entire Android market, in mere two weeks. The Samsung Galaxy S5 now makes up about 0.7 percent of the entire Android market, according to the report. That’s a staggering figure which proves that sales are well on track for the global smartphone leader.

Report Claims iPhone 6 Will Feature Curved Display, All-Aluminum Rear Shell

Apple's next-generation iPhone may feature rounded edges and a curved glass display, according to a new report from Mac Otakara 
   

 
                                                 The Squair Curvaceous Bumper
 Citing "reliable sources", the publication notes that the iPhone 6's cover glass will sit flush with the device's rounded corners, departing from the straight edges seen on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s. The report likens the device's profile to the Squair Curvaceous Bumper, a Japan-made aluminum bumper for the iPhone that features a rounded housing. 

The report also claims that Apple will do away with the rear glass antenna breaks found on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s in favor of an all-aluminum design. Such a move would likely mean that Apple is incorporating significant changes to its overall antenna layout, perhaps positioning current radios in different locations. 

Throughout the past few months, various reports have indicated that the iPhone 6 may feature slightly rounded edges. However, only a few reports have claimed that the device will feature a curved glass display, with Bloomberg noting last December that the company was working on two iPhones with large curved screens for this year. That account however was contrasted by The Wall Street Journal this past January, which said that Apple would not be using a curved display in its devices. 
 
           Renderings of the iPhone 6 (4.7'') and iPhone 6 (5.7'') based on leaked schematics

Apple will likely unveil the iPhone 6 later this year in two different sizes of 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. It is also likely that the smaller 4.7-inch version of the phone will ship first in the third quarter of this year, while the larger version is estimated to ship later due to challenges with the device's display technology and battery life. 

In addition to a larger display, both versions of the iPhone 6 are expected to include a thinner, bezel-free design, faster A8 processor, Touch ID fingerprint sensor and an upgraded camera with optical image stabilization. The device is also expected to debut with Apple's latest iOS 8 mobile operating system, which will likely feature enhancements to Maps, Siri, and iCloud in addition to a new "Healthbook" app. Apple is also said to benegotiating with carriers to increase the price of the iPhone 6 by $100.

New Movies Releasing This Week April 25 2014

The Best of Bogart Collection(Blu-ray)

 
Storyline: For the Humphrey Bogart lover, 'The Best of Bogart Collection' is the stuff that dreams are made of – assuming, of course, that you don't already own one or more of the collected movies, as these four Blu-rays are identical to the movie discs of their separate individual releases.
This set brings together four of Humphrey Bogart's (and three of director John Huston's) greatest films: 'The Maltese Falcon', 'Casablanca', 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre', and 'The African Queen'. Not only do they represent Bogart's best work, but each and every one of them are '5-star' films that easily fall onto almost any list of the greatest movies of all time.

The Other Woman
 

 
Storyline: After discovering her boyfriend is married, a woman (Cameron Diaz) tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he’s been cheating on (Leslie Mann), she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered (Kate Upton), all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on their cheating, lying, three-timing SOB.
  
The Quiet Ones
 

 
Storyline: From the producer who brought you The Woman In Black and Let Me In comes the unnerving tale of The Quiet Ones. Tucked away in an estate outside of London, Professor Coupland along with a team of university students conduct an "experiment" on Jane Harper, a young girl who harbors unspeakable secrets. What dark forces they uncover are more terrifying than any of them expected. Inspired by true events, the film stars Jared Harris (Mad Men and Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel), and is directed by John Pogue from a screenplay by Craig Rosenberg and Oren Moverman and John Pogue, and based on a screenplay by Tom de Ville.

Locke
 

 
Storyline: Ivan Locke (Hardy) has worked diligently to craft the life he has envisioned, dedicating himself to the job that he loves and the family he adores. On the eve of the biggest challenge of his career, Ivan receives a phone call that sets in motion a series of events that will unravel his family, job, and soul. All taking place over the course of one absolutely riveting car ride, LOCKE is an exploration of how one decision can lead to the complete collapse of a life. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) and driven by an unforgettable performance by Tom Hardy, LOCKE is a thrillingly unique cinematic experience of a man fighting to salvage all that is important to him. 

Blue Ruin 
 

 
Storyline: BLUE RUIN is a classic American revenge story that recently won the FIPRESCI International Critics Prize at the Cannes Film Festival where it screened in the Directors' Fortnight. The film follows a mysterious outsider whose quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Proving himself an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family.  

The German Doctor 
 

 
Storyline: Patagonia, 1960. A German doctor (Alex Brendemühl) meets an Argentinean family and follows them on a long desert road to a small town where the family will be starting a new life. Eva (Natalia Oreiro), Enzo (Diego Peretti) and their three children welcome the doctor into their home and entrust their young daughter, Lilith (Florencia Bado), to his care, not knowing that they are harboring one of the most dangerous criminals in the world. At the same time, Israeli agents are desperately looking tobring THE GERMAN DOCTOR to justice. Based on filmmaker Lucía Puenzo's (XXY) fifth novel, the story follows Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death," a German SS officer and a physician at the Auschwitz concentration camp, in the years he spent "hiding", along with many other Nazi's, in South America following his escape from Germany. Mengele was considered to be one of WWII's most heinous Nazi war criminals. 

For No Good Reason
 

 
Storyline: Experience 15 years in the life of acclaimed illustrator Ralph Steadman, whose surreal, often confrontational artwork is frequently associated with Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson thanks to such books as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Curse of Lono. A look back at Steadman's remarkable career offers a glimpse into his vivid imagination as interviews with Johnny Depp, Terry Gilliam, Richard E. Grant, Tim Robbins and others offer insight into the man behind the legend. Meanwhile,Steadman watches as his drawings are brought to life through the magic of animation for the very first time. 

Hope you have a good time and enjoy your movies with family!
