Apple released an iPad ad during the Grammys to show how it can be used to make music (AAPL)

apple ipad ad

Apple broadcast a new iPad TV ad during the Grammys on Sunday to show how the tablet can be used to make and play music, Billboard reports.

The ad (watch it below) is fairly edgy for an iPad effort and features musicians Elliphant, Riton and The Gaslamp Killer.

The 60-second spot, created by Apple’s long-standing agency TBWA\Media Arts Lab, was filmed on an iPad and shows the musicians recording, producing and performing a remix of the Elliphant track “All or Nothing.”

The ad comes shortly after Apple released its first-quarter earnings, which showed iPad sales declined 17% year on year to 21.5 million in the three months to December 2014. Meanwhile, KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi-Kuo estimates iPad sales are set to drop a further 30% year-over-year in 2015. Still, while iPad sales are crashing, the company is selling iPhones by the boatload and the company just recorded its best quarter ever.

'Better Call Saul' started off as a joke in the 'Breaking Bad' writers' room

bob odenkirk better call saul

The "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul" debuted Sunday night on AMC to a bunch of fan fervor. 

The show centers on Bob Odenkirk's criminal lawyer character, Saul Goodman, in his early days of the profession.

As much as we are fans of Odenkirk's, you may be wondering why it was Saul who received a spinoff series instead of maybe Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) or even Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).

"Better Call Saul" has been in the works for a long time, going back to the days of "Breaking Bad."

However, back then, the Saul spinoff was nothing more than an inside joke in the "BB" writers' room. Creator Vince Gilligan ("Breaking Bad") described to a few media outlets including Entertainment Weekly and Hitfix how the series started off as a joke.

Here is how it was described in Entertainment Weekly:

From the moment Saul Goodman broke onto Bad in season 2, the writers loved the underhanded jester with his crafty problem-solving abilities and drawerful of burner cell phones. Soon they were cracking wise about a Saul spin-off, perhaps with a lawyer lair featuring secret panels stuffed with cash and a bat phone that rang up Supreme Court justices. 'They say all great jokes have a kernel of truth to them," says Gilligan, "and the more we made this joke, the more it became clear that there really was something here."

Gilligan gave a longer explanation to Hitfix:

It started as a lark, which is another word for joke, in the writer's room. It started and it really came from the fact that I love working with Bob, just as we love working with really every actor on "Breaking Bad." But we also loved the character. We love writing for the character. We love putting words in his mouth. And we had so much fun indeed doing that that it started as a lark; we'd come up with some great term or phrase and we'd laugh about it in the writer's room. And then we'd say, 'You know, when we're doing the Saul Goodman show we'll be able to blah, blah, blah, blah.' And we made that comment so many times that it started to dawn on us that it wasn't a lark; there was truth to it. It was not just a joke, but a potentially good idea.

"Better Call Saul" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on AMC.

Don't mess with Iggy Azalea.

On Sunday, the 24-year-old singer took to Twitter after a Papa John's pizza delivery man apparently handed out her phone number to friends and family members. 

Papa John's quickly responded:

But Azalea wasn't having it.

And she's not kidding around.

Azalea hasn't let up on the pizza chain's snafu.

Now, it's a full out war.

The only winner here is DiGiorno's frozen pizza.

Your move, Papa John's.

We do love that Azalea ordered pizza ahead of wearing this form fitting blue dress later Sunday at the Grammy Awards.

KANYE WEST RANT: 'Beck should have given his Grammy award to Beyoncé'

Grammy viewers began to panic (including Jay Z!as Kanye West briefly crashed the awards show stage after Beck won best album over his pal Beyoncé.

Kanye West Beck Grammy AwardsBut Kanye quickly sat back down, smiling and joking that this stunt was just a reference to the 2009 incident when the rapper did the same thing at the MTV Video Music Awards when Taylor Swift won over Beyoncé.

While Kanye's Sunday night antics were initially played off as a joke, turns out he was actually pretty peeved about Beck's win.

During an appearance on the "E! After Party" after the Grammys telecast, Kanye went on a major rant, saying: "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé."

Kanye West mad Kim KardashianKanye continued to slam the Grammys:

All I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more. ‘Flawless,’ Beyoncé video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it.

Because what happens is, when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration, and we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place.

Then they do this whole promotional event… and they’re running music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they want commercial advertising. Like, no, we not playing with them no more! By the way, I got my wife, my daughter and my clothing line, so I’m not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk but I am here to fight for creativity. That’s the reason why I didn’t say anything tonight. But you all know what it meant when ‘Ye walks on the stage.

Kim Kardashian stayed silent throughout her husband's rant, but looked pretty mortified.

Beck, meanwhile, is taking Kanye's comments in stride.

"I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck told Us Weekly when asked how he felt about West crashing the stage. "How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?"

Even though he said Beyoncé should have won? "Absolutely," replied the musician. "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyoncé!"

Beck then just killed Kanye with kindness, adding: "You can’t please everybody, man. I still love him and think he’s genius. I aspire to do what he does."

Sunday's 'The Walking Dead' was inspired by one of the earliest comics from 11 years ago

michonne the walking deadWarning: There are spoilers ahead.

Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead" left viewers with a big unexpected twist

However, if you dug a little deeper into the the latest episode of AMC's zombie series, diehard comic fans may have recognized the setting of the season five midseason premiere was inspired by one of the earliest issues of the comic series.

In the episode, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Tyreese (Chad Coleman), Glenn (Steven Yeun), and Noah (Tyler James Williams) show up at a gated community Noah used to call home.

the walking dead season 5 episode 9

However, when the group gets there it's completely ravaged. Houses are burnt, bodies are dismembered and strewn across the ground, and the dead are walking aimlessly through the abandoned enclave.

the walking dead house season 5 episode 9

AMC's "The Walking Dead" Story Sync, a companion app for those watching the live show, showed the origin for Sunday's episode came from issue 8 released in May 2004.

Look slightly familiar?

the walking dead issue 8

Just as the tiny Rick in the drawing suggests, despite some damaged homes and a few zombies, Michonne (on the show) thinks it's a place where they could potentially live.

In the comics, the caravan of survivors soon learn that's not the case. A snow covered sign prevents the group from seeing a giant warning telling them everyone inside is dead. 

the walking dead

On Sunday's episode, there's no sign, but it's not really needed. One of the walls to the compound is broken down, and many of the dead aimlessly wander around the barren streets. 

The zombie threat isn't as great as it was in the comics, but there are nods to the graphic in the television adaptation. 

One big change Sunday night from the comics centers around Chad Coleman's character, Tyreese. *spoiler* In the episode, we see the untimely, and unexpected, demise of Tyreese's character. In the comics, Tyreese isn't killed off this early. He was given a more brutal death at the hand of the Governor. Of course, we saw that exact scene play out in the TV show with a different character in Tyreese's place. *spoiler*

Sunday night's episode is the most recent example of the series backtracking to adapt earlier moments from the comic series that were skipped over in early seasons.

A few episodes back, the show referenced the entire "Fear the Hunters" storyline about a group of cannibals, which was adapted from issues 61-66.

gareth the walking dead

Before that, Rick tore a guy's throat out with his bare teeth. That was another nod to a moment from issue 57.

What's going on? Is the series running out of ideas that it now needs to head back to the beginning of the comic series before it's in danger of catching up?

Not necessarily. 

Kirkman told us back in Oct. he has enough plans to carry on "The Walking Dead" for at least 11 or 12 seasons. That sounds like a tall order, but if you know where the comics are heading, it starts to make sense. We haven't even hit on one of the biggest storylines yet

The second half of season five should start to lay the groundwork for that, and the eventual introduction of one of the series' most beloved villains.

Chris Kyle, the deadliest sniper in US military history, is the subject of the recently Oscar-nominated film "American Sniper." The real Kyle's life ended tragically when he was shot dead at a shooting range in the US.

The man accused of the killing, Eddie Ray Routh, will stand trial, and jury selection is ongoing. The court initially summoned about 800 people, which it must dwindle down to 12.

'Shark Tank' investor Kevin O'Leary shares the best advice he's ever received

$

kevin o'leary

One of Kevin O'Leary's first business partners taught him a lesson that became so crucial to his success that he's taught it to every entrepreneur he's mentored.

O'Leary, an investor on the hit show "Shark Tank," briefly worked at Nabisco after receiving his MBA in 1980, but decided to build his own television production company, Special Event Television. There was a point when there was "a huge problem" with the business and his partner and cofounder Gerry Patterson, a former sports agent, told him he needed to focus.

O'Leary tells Business Insider that Patterson said:

"Listen, Kevin. Every day, poo poo's gonna hit the fan. Stuff is gonna happen, and it's gonna be bad. You just don't know when or how bad it's gonna be. But you have to put shutters on, set a goal, don't listen to the noise, and just go forward. All of that noise is a distraction, and if you let it distract you, you'll fail."

Years later, in 1998, O'Leary was president of The Learning Company and moving forward with a hostile takeover of its rival software company, Broderbund. As he and his partners waited for approval of the $416 million deal from regulators and shareholders, O'Leary says that he found the New York Times and Wall Street Journal were critical of the deal and "digging up all the dirt" they could about him personally.

Patterson had died by then, but O'Leary says his former business partner's voice rang in his ears as critics questioned his acumen: "Listen. Don't crack. It's all noise."

The deal went through and O'Leary went to clear house at Broderbund, which came under his company's control. "I remember flying out west to the board and going in there after all those guys had been so difficult to work with and firing all of them," he says. "Not that revenge is sweet — it's just if you stay focused, you're a very powerful force."

That deal made The Learning Company attractive to Mattel, and the toy company bought it the next year for $4.2 billion at the height of the dot-com bubble. Mattel's timing was disastrous, but O'Leary left with a $5 million severance package by the end of the year.

Since then, O'Leary has built up several ventures, most recognizably as an investor on ABC's "Shark Tank." He has 21 companies in his portfolio now, and he says he's taught them all the lesson he learned from his late friend Gerry, which helped him both when he was just starting and when he was making one of the biggest deals of his life. He says:

Since then, I tell all the entrepreneurs I mentor that story and explain to them, "I swear to you it's going to be very hard. Business is hell on earth. But if you can stay focused and remember Gerry's words, you'll win. You'll beat those battles."

And it's these battles that make you want to be an entrepreneur, O'Leary says. "That's the whole reason you do it. You want to win."

People are not happy with the racy Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition hits newsstands today, Feb.9.

While we fully support 24-year-old Hannah Davis as cover girl, there's no denying it's possibly the magazine's most scandalous cover yet.

Hannah Davis Sports Illustrated cover 2015

The dangerously low-slung bikini bottoms featured on the cover have many outraged.


Jennifer O'Neill wrote a post for Yahoo! Parenting calling the cover "a bit of a nightmare."

Washington Post article asked if the cover goes "too low" with Davis’ bikini bottom and received many comments like: "Horrible message for young girls" and "They should change the name to Sports Illustrated Playboy edition."

In an UsWeekly poll, 68% of readers thought the cover image resembled porn, while 38% found it "so hot!"

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation is asking retailers to remove the magazine from public display, particularly the checkout line, and be wrapped like any other pornographic magazine.

But Sports Illustrated is defending its cover.

"After 50 years of swimsuit, what everyone knows is that one person's risqué is another's sexy," a rep for the magazine told ABC News.

Model Hannah Davis, too, is proud of her cover.

On a "Today" show appearance Monday morning, Davis told Matt Lauer: "I think SI always tries to do something a little different every year, and I think this year, it's the year of the torso."

After the morning show used a ribbon graphic to cover the bottom portion of the issue's cover, Davis told Lauer: "I think you're making it look a lot naughtier than it really is, to be honest."

Channing Tatum’s anti-gravity boots are the coolest thing about ‘Jupiter Ascending’

Sci-fi movie "Jupiter Ascending" opened in theaters Feb. 6, and though it received generally poor reviews and flopped at the box office over the weekend, it did introduce us to one cool piece of tech: a pair of anti-gravity boots worn by Channing Tatum.

Throughout the movie, Tatum's character, Caine Wise, flies around both Earth and space using the boots.

They're arguably the best part of the film.

Here's a closer look at the soles:

The ease with which they allow Caine to move around brings to mind the hoverboard seen in the "Back to the Future" sequel. It's as if he has an invisible one connected to the bottom of his feet. 

Hoverboards Back To The Future

If you're wondering how Tatum pulled off the appearance of the anti-gravity boots, they're actually just skates. According to the film's production notes, Tatum actually skated on ramps, platforms, and cables for his stunts. The wheels were erased out of the film in post production.

Pro inline skater Cory Miller and vert skater Taïg Khris trained Tatum to prep him for the role.

A total of six men pulled wires for Tatum behind a green screen as he skated on a three-sided treadmill that was four meters in length and two meters wide. Many of the times he was carrying Kunis.

Here are the Jaguars, Land Rovers and Range Rovers that will appear in the new Bond Movie

James Bond Jaguar Land Rover Range Rover

The 24th film in the James Bond movie franchise will hit theaters later this year. As we inch closer to "Spectre's" November 6 release date, more details about all of the awesome cars that will be in the film are beginning to emerge.

Producers unveiled Bond's all-new Aston Martin DB10 in December. But now the other cars from the movie have been confirmed. In addition to the Aston, a trio of cars — courtesy of Jaguar Land Rover's Special Operations department — will feature in the film. We'll be seeing a Range Rover Sport SVR, a Jaguar C-X75, and a Land Rover Defender Big Foot.

As sleek as the the DB10 may be, the real scene stealer is the Jaguar C-X75, to be driven by Bond's villainous counterpart. The Aston and the Jag, meanwhile, will star in a major car chase through the streets of Rome.

The carbon-fiber C-X75 hybrid supercar concept first debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show to rave reviews and even managed to snag Autoweek's "Best in Show" award. 

"This will be the finest looking and most innovative Jaguar ever created,” Jaguar head designer Ian Callum said. "Even in the world of supercars, we can still produce the most beautiful." 

Jaguar C-X75 Bond

Unfortunately, the production version of the C-X75 was cancelled in 2013. Thankfully, the car will survive on the silver screen. 

For Bond duty, the modified Jaguar supercars will built by the Advanced Engineering division of the Williams F1 team. 

The Range Rover Sport SVR is Jaguar Land Rover's foray into SUV insanity. As quick as the 510 horsepower supercharged Range Rover Sport may be, the SVR takes it to a whole new level.

With 543 horsepower on tap, along with high-performance suspension, brakes, and tires, the SVR managed to lap Germany's notorious Nurburgring Nordschliefe test track in just 8 minutes and 14 seconds last year, setting a record for a production SUV.

Range Rover Sport SVR

The Land Rover Defender Big Foot and its massive 37 inch off-road tires make it the perfect go-anywhere vehicle for Bond's exotic locales.

Originally built by Jaguar Land Rover as a support vehicle for the company's Iceland, Finland, and Morocco product launches, the Big Foot has a slew of foul weather and foul terrain modifications.

According to the Dailymail, the scenes featuring the Range Rover Sport SVR and the Defender Big Foot have already been filmed. They are said to include a chase scene through the Austrian Alps. 

Jaguar Land Rover's involvement with the 24th Bond flick has not been without drama. Last October, a fleet of modified movie cars valued at roughly $1 million was stolen from one of the company's facilities in Germany.

J.J. Abrams has received tons of emails harassing him about the new ‘Star Wars’ lightsaber

star wars episode 7 lightsaber



When the first teaser trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” premiered in Nov., fans were torn over the appearance of a new three-pronged lightsaber.  

Some loved it. Others hated it. (What was the point of those mini lightsabers on the side, some asked. Clearly, they’re not going to protect your hands.) 

During a recent interview with Collider at the Visual Effects Society Awards, Abrams said he hasn’t been able to avoid the controversy either. 

jj abrams star warsIn fact, the “Star Wars: Episode VII” director says he has fielded a lot tons of emails and analysis both defending and arguing against the practicality and logistics of the new lightsaber.  

“I will say that what has been funny ... is since the lightsaber has come out, I cannot tell you how many contradictory emails I have received from people who have both defended it with unbelievably detailed graphics,” Abrams told Collider. “I've gotten things that are nuts. And I’ve gotten people who have shown how it will kill you and how it doesn’t make any sense.” 

“It’s been the funniest thing to see the arguments that have developed over this thing,” added Abrams. 

Perhaps, most famous was late-night host Stephen Colbert’s defensive graphic and accompanying explanation of the new lightsaber in Dec. claiming the three-pronged design in "perfect."

stephen colbert star wars lightsaber

Abrams added that the three-pronged lightsaber underwent a “number of conversations.”

“It was a sketch that became a whole thing,” said Abrams. “This was not done without a lot of conversation. It’s fun to see people have the conversation that we had, but in reverse.”

“Star Wars: Episode VII” is in theaters Dec. 18, 2015.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced a plan to bring together the worlds of Marvel Studios and Spider-Man.

It's a move that will likely introduce a brand new version of Spider-Man in future films. According to a statement released on the Marvel website Monday night, the new Spider-Man will appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe. The announcement says in part:

Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

There have been lots of rumblings of late surrounding Marvel's impending brand overhaul, now it appears this latest news may be just the beginning of a long-awaited rebirth for the company, and for Spider-Man in particular.

The character has existed within the world of Marvel for some 50 years, and has fans spanning several generations. The Spider-Man franchise has so far earned $4 billion across five films released worldwide.

amazing spider man

This is huge.

Late Monday night, Marvel and Sony announced a partnership that would allow Spider-Man into Marvel's cinematic universeIn other words, expect to see Spidey in some future Marvel movies, possibly alongside the Avengers and more. 

Marvel Studios, which was purchased by Disney in 2009 for $4 billion, has the rights to Marvel characters including Captain America, the Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and more.

While Spider-Man is a Marvel character, he is one of several Marvel characters that have had previous long-standing deals with other movie studios which prevented Marvel Studios from including the characters in its movies.

Fox has the rights to the X-Men, Deadpool, and Fantastic Four, while Sony Pictures had the rights to Spider-Man.

Under the partnership, a new Spider-Man movie will be released July 28, 2017. 

It's expected that current Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield will be replaced in the new films. A press release says the movie will take on a "new creative direction" for the character.

The entry of the new Spider-Man film has shifted the release of Marvel's upcoming releases as well.

The movie will be co-produced by Marvel and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige along with Amy Pascal. According to the release, Sony Pictures will "continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films." 

In addition, Marvel has a few other big plans for Spidey.

Before the release of the next Spider-Man movie, the character will appear in a yet unannounced Marvel movie.

That movie will most likely be the next "Captain America" sequel, "Captain America: Civil War."

Disney previously tried to get Spider-Man back at Marvel, according to leaked emails during the Sony hack. Back then, Disney reportedly wanted Spider-Man for "Civil War," a storyline which pits Captain America against Iron Man. Spider-Man is at the heart of that comic as his allegiance is torn between between the two.

According to the release, the studios are also "exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films."

That means you could see Captain America or any of the Avengers or other Marvel characters in future Spidey flicks.

All together, the five previous Spider-Man movies have made over $4 billion worldwide.

Trust for Brian Williams has completely crashed

Trust for Brian Williams, the most popular news anchor in America, has plummeted in one week after he admitted to embellishing a story from his war coverage.

Williams, who anchors "NBC Nightly News," went from being the 23rd-most-trusted person in America a little over a week ago to falling to the 835th spot, The New York Times reports.

The list comes from the Marketing Arm, a research firm that creates a celebrity index for advertisers and media and marketing executives.

Before Williams admitted that he misrepresented an incident in which a helicopter ahead of his was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while he was in Iraq covering the invasion in 2003, his trustworthiness was on par with that of Denzel Washington, Warren Buffett, and Robin Roberts, according to The Times.

Now he's on the level of Willie Robertson from "Duck Dynasty," a reality show that drew criticism after the family patriarch, Phil Robertson, made derogatory comments about homosexuals.

Williams has recounted the Iraq story several times over the past 12 years and has embellished his role in the incident over time. His coverage of Hurricane Katrina has also been called into question. In fact, NBC executives were reportedly warned that Williams was known to embellish stories. 

Earlier this month, Williams said on NBC that the helicopter he was flying in was "was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Crew members who were on the helicopter that was actually hit by a rocket-propelled grenade then came forward to say Williams was on another helicopter that arrived at the site later.

Whether Williams' helicopter was hit with small-arms fire (as opposed to an RPG) is in some dispute.

Williams announced over the weekend that he would step down from anchoring "NBC Nightly News" for "several days" in light of the fallout over this story. NBC is now conducting an internal investigation into what happened.
