Want a one-night stand with Windows Phone and a good band?
Then stop reading this post and hop on over to the Windows Phone Facebook fan page. Tickets are going fast.
As part of a smart marketing campaign to promote Windows Phone, Microsoft will hold events in five cities — New York, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco in order of occurrence, starting November 7. Performers: Matt & Kim, The Drums, Young The Giant, MutheMouth and best Coast. Wow, it’s a great lineup. I’ve got music from most of these groups in my digital collection. Ah, if only there was one of these in San Diego. Hey, Microsoft, why not Boston, with its quarter-million population of students this time of year? Surely you won’t be run out by iPhone idolaters, if the right group plays there.
“See where the night takes you when you challenge your friends to a Fruit Ninja battle, or chill out in one of our device lounges as you sip cocktails and sample good eats from top local chefs”, Brian Seitz blogs for Microsoft. “These events are free,” but “tickets are very limited”.
Attendees can play with Windows Phones HTC Titan, HTC Radar, Samsung Focus S and Samsung Focus Flash.
The promotion joins another I briefly mentioned three days ago — Microsoft Store buyers spending $500 or more can get a free Windows Phone.

Justin Timberlake, Aaron Sorkin deconstruct Sean Parker in ‘Social Network’
HollywoodNews.com: all eyes are on Justin Timberlake October 1 as he hits the big screen in what is arguably his first dramatic role, that of Facebook co-founder Sean Parker in Sony’s “The Social Network.”
In a profile on Parker, Vanity Fair explains how Aaron Sorkin’s take on the web mogul is “suave and conniving” as well as “pushy, greedy—and, yes, visionary.”
“A million dollars isn’t cool,” says Timberlake’s Parker in the film to Facebook architect mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg).
“You know what’s cool? a billion dollars.” Vanity Fair believes the real Parker is “more complex and more interesting, despite the considerable skills of Sorkin and director David Fincher.”
In preparing for the role, Timberlake actually approached Parker in a nightclub, to get some insight on his character. the internet titan wasn’t that generous with his time. in sum, he’s not pleased with the way he was painted in Sorkin’s script: he’s not that calculating or vindictive.
“He said he wanted to get to know me,” Parker tells Vanity Fair, “but I said, ‘That isn’t going to help you play the part [Aaron] Sorkin has written. that character really isn’t me.’”
However, Sorkin is clearly on to something in “Social Network”: Vanity Fair points out Parker’s foibles – many of which Timberlake nails on screen. for example, the real Parker is flaky, vain and a rancid party monger.
“Social Network” producer Scott Rudin kept a scene in the film that shows one of Parker’s wild soirees, inclusive of naked women adorned with lines of cocaine.
Above all, the real Parker, as painted by Vanity Fair, is egotistical.
“I’ve helped change the world, at least three times,” he tells the magazine.

Google buys BumpTop 3D desktop
Search titan Google has confirmed the acquisition of the company BumpTop.
BumpTop, the maker of a 3D desktop announced last Friday that they have been bought by Google for an undisclosed sum. the start-up created by Canadians is known for its 3D interface that replaces the Windows desktop or Mac OS. since October 2009, it was even compatible with Windows 7 multitouch, making an attractive product for the shelves.
The solution has no application to the “cloud”, which is based on most products of Google. the only use of this software for the company in Mountain View would be to incorporate them in one of its OS so as to offer them with the next tablet. Apple is also working on a similar concept since 2008, but has not yet implemented.
BumpTop has decided to leave the program for free download until Friday, May 7.
“Today we have a big announcement to make,” says the development team of BumpTop on their official website. He added: “We have been bought by Google! this means that BumpTop (for Windows and Mac) are no longer available for sale. Also, no update is planned products. It remains to know what Google plans to make this new acquisition, and the Web already speculating on a future integration with the Android OS or Chrome.”
