As we reported yesterday, MySpace is up for sale and it looks like it's found a buyer in Specific media. As a part of 35 million dollar deal, News Corporation will take a minority stake in Specific Media, and half of MySpace's 400 personnel Staff will be cut. Although better than the 30 million dollars we reported yesterday, it's still a far cry from the 100 million dollars. And News Corp won it, and a huge loss for the 580 million dollars the company spent to buy the social network at the first place.

Ironically, Justin Timberbrake who played Shawn Parker in the social network Facebook movie is an investor in Specific media.

The HP touch pad will be officially released tomorrow. And here at Cnet we got our hands on a review unit. Rather than use the Google Android operating system, the new touchpad runs Palm's WebOS. In addition, the touchpad runs adobe flash has support for bits audio enhancements and an impressive third party calendar messaging and email services. Otherwise, CNet editors pointed out that the touchpad is much thicker than the ipad2, doesn't record HD vedio and has a limited latch of third party apps. Pricing starts at $499 for the 16 gigabyte version. Check out our more extensive view at CNet.com

In response to the negative massive outcry to Final Cult Pro X, Apple has released a FAQ that answers some questions but confirms the fears of some professional vedio editors. First the bad news, Final Cult Pro X will not have the ability to open Final Cult Pro Ⅷ projects. And the good news, Apple says it's committed to releasing an XML and XS tool and support for multi-cam editing soon. In general, the company wants its usuers to know it hears and understands the concerns but also wants Final Cult Pro X to embrace a new editing philosophy.

Hackers have been in the news a lot these days. Mostly for attacking corportations and governements, and releasing private information but it looks like they maybe doing some good in the world as well.
