App developers have it hard enough on the iPhone; on Android, they've got to keep prices just as low, and sell to a much smaller audience. So how are some of them coping? By packing up and leaving, like Gameloft.

Finance director for the company, Alexandre de Rochefort, says that even a company that's done extremely well on the iPhone can have trouble breaking even on Google phones:

We have significantly cut our investment in Android platform, just like ... many others ... [The Android Market] is not as neatly done as on the iPhone. Google has not been very good to entice customers to actually buy products. On Android nobody is making significant revenue.

That's the essence of the App Effect: High volume, customer pressure and nudging from Apple drive iPhone app prices down break-even levels, which gives app developers two options. They can either charge higher prices for equivalent apps on Android, for which they will be crucified by customers, or they can match their prices, and hope that enough of Android's comparatively small, fragmented user base just happens to stumble across said app in the barely navigable App Market. An attractive business proposition, I say!

So what needs to happen? Either Android adoption grows (which it's doing), the App Market gets much easier to navigate (a desktop app, maybe?), or you know, both. Reuters]

Where You've Seen Her: Pamela David is too hot for her own good. Apparently, she's the National Queen of Tourism in her home country of Argentina.  I'm assuming that means she's the face of Argentina's tourist slogan: "Our country is politically turbulent and generally unsafe...and full of hot chicks just like this."

 

Pointless Quote: "I think everyone should take pride in where they're from."

Riding the subway basically sucks.  Granted it’s an extremely efficient way to travel you run into smelly people, huge crowds, and there are those times when it just stops for no reason whatsoever.

I’m 100% delighted that I now work from home and don’t have to endure that crap anymore.

Still though, subway rides are worth it in rare times.  Those rare times?  Well check out the gallery after the jump

Look, everybody knows that Karo Parisyan is a very troubled young man. But we're still shocked by the now-emerging news that Parisyan has pulled out of a fight at the last minute for the second time in his UFC career, directly following his nine-month suspension for the use of unapproved meds. Judging from his tweets, it's obvious that UFC prez Dana White has had enough of Karo's bullshit, and we may never see the Heat inside of the Octagon ever again. As for Parisyan's "laundry list of excuses" for canceling his UFC 106 meeting with Dustin Hazelett, MMA Weekly presents one explanation:

Karo “The Heat” Parisyan is out of UFC 106 after failing to acquire a license in Nevada, according to Parisyan, due to not having the money to pay his fine from previously being suspended after testing positive for a three different pain killers following his UFC 94 bout with Kim Dong-hyun.
 

“There’s a lot of problems going on. They won’t re-license me unless I (expletive) pay them,” Parisyan told MMAWeekly.com. “I had to pay the $32,000 fine in order to fight. I never paid because I never had the money. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back...Everything is over bro. I’m just going to go home. Everything is fucked up. I’ve got to think about what I’m going to do for my career. I’ve got to think about what I want to do as far as fighting goes.”

However, Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer's side of the story is quite a bit different. As he told Sherdog:

Look I don’t want to knock on people from Boynton Beach Florida here but really?

Try as she might, investigators say Dalia Dippolito could not get the knack of killing her husband.

Newly released court records allege that before the Boynton Beach woman’s arrest in August on charges of trying to hire a hitman to murder her newlywed spouse, Dippolito had already tried to kill him twice.

When nothing seemed to work, she finally called a close friend and asked for his help in knocking off Michael Dippolito, 38.

You know something?  I’m not blaming Dalia here.  I’m 100% blaming Michael.  Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?  I would think that after the first time your wife tries to kill you that you’d consider leaving her.

I guess after that one Michael realized the couple needed therapy.  What did he think after the second time?  “Eh, she’s probably a little off.”  The third?

If he doesn’t move away at this point, the guy kind of deserves to die.

There are thousands of different words for boobs, but how do you know what term is appropriate for the situation you're in?  Luckily, we've spent a lot of time talking about boobs, and we've created a handy User's Guide to Boob Terminology to help you figure out what boob term to use in a given situation.

 

Breasts

 

What It Refers To: The superior ventral surface (the upper-torso) of the human body.  Usually, the term refers to this area on the female body, while "chest" is more commonly used to describe the upper-torso of male bodies, unless it's a fat ass dude with man-boobs.

 

When It's Used: In medical or technical conversations, or on television when, for some reason, they feel like they can't just say "boobs".

 

Proper Usage: "Ma'am, I'm afraid you have breast cancer."

 

Improper Usage: "Hey, drunk chicks, show us your breasts!"

 

 

Bosom

 

What It Refers To: In reference to the boobs of your mom, grandma, a diety, or any woman who you would never sexualize in a million billion years.

 

When It's Used: In The Bible, or in reference to where a baby is sleeping.

 

Proper Usage: "...And lo, Mary held the child Jesus unto her bosom."

 

Improper Usage: "That stripper was rubbing her bosom all over my face!"

 

 

Boobs or Boobies

(Whaddya say, old-timer? One last job, for all the Lipitor?)

According to Sherdog, UFC hall-of-famers Randy Couture and Mark Coleman have verbally agreed to a light-heavyweight headlining match at UFC 109 (February 6th, Las Vegas). Combined age for the fight: 90. At 46 years and five months old at the time of his decision win over Brandon Vera last weekend, Couture is the oldest person to score a victory in the UFC. (If only Ron van Clief had pulled off the upset.) Coleman, who made his Octagon debut at UFC 10 in July 1996, has had the longest career of any fighter currently under contract with Zuffa.

The pairing tells us two things. First, that the UFC realizes a razor-thin decision over Brandon Vera isn't enough to throw Couture directly into a 205-pound title fight; he'll need at least one more win over somebody he can beat, preferably by stoppage. And second, that the UFC is absolutely desperate for headlining bouts. Couture vs. Coleman may turn out to be a #1 light-heavyweight contender's match, but it certainly doesn't deserve to be. Unfortunately, there are no bigger fights available to main-event the card. Though a middleweight title match between Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort was previously expected to headline UFC 109, Belfort says he may be fighting someone else at the February show.

Fun fact: In 1989, Couture and Coleman met in a freestyle wrestling match at the 1989 Olympic Festival at Oklahoma State; Coleman won by one point. So you can expect the UFC to start referring to this fight as a "MAIN EVENT GRUDGE MATCH."

Luke already pointed out that Modern Warfare 2 is an entertainment industry record setter, so today's Activision confirmation isn't too surprising. But the Xbox Live numbers included along with that confirmation sure are.

More than 2.2 million gamers logged more than 5.2 million multiplayer hours playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the first day alone, a new one-day Xbox Live record. Those gamers managed to unlock more than 11 million achievements in that day as well.

Pretty crazy.

If you missed Luke's excellent article comparing Modern Warfare 2 to other entertainment properties, you should go have a read. Today Activision says that their game pulled in an estimated $550 million in its first five days.

That's compared to:
The largest reported five-day opening worldwide box office gross figures, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million)

The largest reported five-day opening domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($203.8 million)

The largest reported five-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (6 million units, $500 million)

The largest reported opening first-day domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($66.4 million)

The largest reported first-day book sales in dollars, held by Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows ($220 million)

The largest reported first-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (3.6 million units, $310 million)

Pretty impressive.

Click on the photo for more Bud Light Cruise Girls

This is why I’m jealous of magazines like Maxim.  “A couple weeks ago,  Bud Light was sending us on their Port Paradise Cruise to the Bahamas. Lucky for us, it’s really hot down there…and it’s not because of the weather. With girls running around in bikinis, we just needed to take a couple pics of them.”- Bastards

a haircut is a great way to instantly tell someone who you are and what you do, but sometimes the message that you're trying to send with your haircut isn't always the same as the message that people get from it.  Here's what your haircut really says about you:

 

The Emo Swoop

 

 

Ah, the emo swoop: it's like wearing a highway caution sign on your head that says "I'm a huge pussy".  As an excellent multi-functional haircut, the Emo Swoop satisfies your desire to feel like you're living your life from inside of a hair prison, and it keeps the world from having to see too much of your ugly, tear-streaked face.

 

What You Think It Says: If I'm 16 or under, then I know the kind of guy that girls my age are into.  If I'm over 16, then I'm the type of guy that could probably justify statutory rape to myself.

 

What It Really Says: I grew up in a normal, upper-middle class family in the suburbs. My life is pretty normal.  Can you imagine how painful it is to not have any pain at all?

 

 

The Slick Back

 

A favorite of successful businessmen, sleezy businessmen, and bad guys from old black and white movies, the Slick Back is a classic, timeless haircut. Experiment with greasiness to obtain the desired level of creepiness.

 

What You Think It Says: Do any of you ladies like money?

 

What It Really Says: Hi. I'm Patrick Bateman.

 

 

The Shaved Head

Um….

Michelle Thompson, who suffers from Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, thought she was just too demanding for men and would never find the man of her dreams.

But she has been with her neighbour Andrew Carr, 32, for the past six months and he’s as keen for sexual intercourse as she is and they make love 10 times a day.

“Andrew has changed my life. I’m no longer looking for a cure for my orgasms - I’ve found it,” Michelle told The News of the World newspaper in the UK

I guess the only real response to this, “Andrew, what the hell is your problem bud?”
