It's Thursday, June 30th, 2011. I'm Wilson Tang on Cnet.com and it's time to get loaded.

今天是2011年6月30日,周四。我是Cnet.com的Wilson Tang。是时间接收本周的最新资讯了。

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.

我们昨天报道过Myspace正在进行出售,买家有可能是Specific Media。Myspace售价高达3500万,MySpace将拥有Specific Media的少量股权,并且Myspace将裁员400人。虽然收购价格比昨天报道的300万还高,但这和Myspace预计的1亿美元有很大差距。Myspace的东家是新闻集团,这笔成交价比当初新闻集团收购Myspace 这一社交网络的5亿800万价位低了许多。

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

具有讽刺意味的是,在《社交网络》中扮演主角肖恩·帕克的演员贾斯汀·汀布莱克正是Specific media的投资人之一。

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.

为回应对Final Cult Pro X的消极抗议,苹果公司发布了FAQ以解答用户的部分问题,并肯定了部分专业视频编辑的担心。坏消息是,Final Cult Pro X将不能打开Final Cult Pro Ⅷ。好消息是苹果下定决心发布XML和XS工具支持multi-cam编辑。总地来说,苹果公司是希望用户了解并理解他们的考虑和顾虑,同时苹果公司还希望Final Cult Pro X能改进编辑方式。

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. NBC news reports that hackers have temporarily shut down Al-Quaida's online distribution of vedios and statements, so far no one has claimed credit for the attack.

最近的新闻中常能听到黑客的消息。大多数的消息都是黑客攻击了公司或政府网络系统,公布大量个人信息,但于此同时他们也做了件好事。NBC新闻报道黑客暂时关闭了Al-Quaida的在线视频网站,目前还没有组织承认对此次网络攻击负责。

Those are your headlines for today. I'm Wilson Tang for Cnet.com, and you've just been loaded.
