A pioneering 3-D erotic comedy has taken the Hong Kong box office by storm, beating the first-day record set by "Avatar" and drawing viewers from mainland China as it eyes a global rollout.
The $3.5 million Cantonese-language production "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" had earned 17 million Hong Kong dollars ($2.2 million) as of Tuesday since opening last week on 73 screens, according to figures provided by producer Stephen Shiu. That's nearly seven times the total take so far for Hollywood thriller "Scream 4," which has earned HK$2.5 million ($320,000).

What William said to Kate
An estimated 2 billion people tuned into watch Prince William marry Kate Middleton (now Princess - Duchess, rather - Catherine). As the grand affair unfolded on TV and social media, the conversation focused on everything from the dress (Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen!), to Maid of Honor Pippa Middleton's dark tan, to the fancy cars, to the newlyweds' balcony kiss(es). There was also a highlight on what we didn't hear in the broadcast.
When the bride and her father joined the groom at the altar at Westminster Abbey, the Prince mouthed these words to Middleton: "You look beautiful." According to some lip readers, he then quipped to Papa Michael, "We were supposed to have just a small family affair." Cheeky! Meanwhile, tweeting observers could not resist rewriting history with jokes at William's expense, such as this one: "We should have gone to Vegas."

Why Kate Middleton won’t toss her bouquet?
The ceremonial fight for the bride's bouquet is a symbolic, entertaining, and occasionally violent staple of most weddings, but there won't be a throng of eager young ladies queuing up to catch Kate Middleton's lavish flower arrangement on April 29.
British royal protocol dictates that instead of being hurled skyward and giving one lucky and sure-handed girl a superstitious shove toward marriage, Kate's bouquet will come to a far more solemn rest.
As she heads back down the aisle at Westminster Abbey, having completed her nuptials to become either Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales or another title of the queen's choosing, she will take a moment to lay her floral creation at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, a historic grave embedded into the church floor in 1920 to commemorate anonymous soldiers killed at war.

Catherine Zeta-Jones: I Suffer Bipolar II Disorder
After the surprise revelation last week that Catherine Zeta-Jones had received treatment for bipolar II disorder, the actress appears on the cover of People magazine this week and discusses her struggle.
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them," she told People in a statement. "If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it. There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
Zeta-Jones checked in to Silver Hill Hospital - a mental health facility in New Canaan, Connecticut -- in April, a few months after her husband, Michael Douglas, was deemed free of cancer after enduring a long battle with throat cancer.

Some Dinosaurs 'Were Night Creatures"
They have long been considered beasts who hunted during daylight hours and recovered after the sun went down. But new evidence challenges the theory that vicious predators like the Velociraptor were most active by day.
Scientists now think Steven Spielberg was right in his 1993 film Jurassic Park - meat-eating dinosaurs did hunt at night. It used to be thought that early mammals in the dinosaur era found refuge in the night, when the reptilian killers were not around.

Polisi Waspadai Teroris Susupi Mayday
Pihak Kepolisian Daerah Metropolitan Jakarta Raya (Polda Metro Jaya) mewaspadai peluang terjadi aksi teror saat peringatan Hari Buruh Internasional (Mayday) yang jatuh pada Minggu (1/5).
"Kita persiapkan pengamanan maksimal untuk mengantisipasi aksi teror yang menyusup saat peringatan Hari Buruh," kata Kepala Polda (Kapolda) Metro Jaya, Inspektur Jenderal Polisi Sutarman di Jakarta, Sabtu.
Namun demikian, Sutarman meyakini pelaku teror tidak akan melakukan aksinya dengan mengorbankan masyarakat yang memiliki tingkat ekonomi menengah ke bawah. Sutarman menyebutkan, kepolisian juga mengantisipasi potensi aksi buruh yang akan disusupi kelompok tidak bertanggung jawab dengan mengusung tema jaminan sosial tenaga kerja dan status pekerja kontrak (outsourching).

Gaun McQueen Sempurna di Tubuh Catherine Middleton
Gaun satin Kate rancangan Burton semakin cantik dengan renda di bagian atas hingga menutupi seluruh tangan. Kerudung sutera menyembunyikan wajah Kate tanpa menutupi riasan wajah natural yang menonjolkan kecantikan alaminya. Wajah alami Kate terlihat jelas meski kerudung sutera menutupinya.
Sekilas, gaun mempelai perempuan Pangeran William ini mirip Grace Kelly yang menikahi Pangeran Rainier dari Monaco pada 1956. Bedanya, Kate memilih potongan V pada bagian leher dan memberikan kesan modern, sementara Grace menutupi seluruh bagian dada hingga ke leher.

iPhone Rekam Gerak-Gerik Penggunanya
iPhone diam-diam merekam gerak-gerik penggunanya kemanapun mereka pergi. Gadget populer dari Apple ini menyimpan setiap detail pergerakan penggunanya ke file rahasia di dalam handset yang kemudian dikopi ke komputer si pengguna saat tersinkronisasi.
Adapun file ini berisi informasi berupa garis lintang, garis bujur, titik koordinat dan waktu yang dicatat iPhone. Itu artinya, siapa pun yang mencuri iPhone atau komputer si pengguna bisa menemukan detail pergerakan pemiliknya hanya dengan menggunakan program sederhana.
Laporan ini disampaikan peneliti keamanan Pete Warden. Dikatakannya, untuk beberapa ponsel, kemungkinan hal ini sudah berlangsung selama satu tahun, mengingat kemampuan rekaman data sepertinya dimulai sejak kemunculan update iOS 4 yang dirilis Juni 2010.

Kenapa Ulat Bulu Meraja?
Hilangnya burung pemakan ulat, seperti burung ciblek (Prinia familiaris) atau prenjak dan semut rangrang, menjadi penyebab bertambahnya populasi ulat bulu di beberapa daerah, termasuk di Kabupaten Kendal, Jawa Tengah.
Oleh karena itu, penangkapan burung dan pengumpulan telur semut rangrang seharusnya dihentikan. Hal itu dikatakan oleh kepala Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Kendal Sri Purwati, Menurut Sri, dulu ketika burung ciblek atau prenjak masih banyak, ulat bulu tidak sebanyak sekarang. "Harus ada penyadaran dari masyarakat terkait dengan hal itu," katanya.
