Not content to merely take the world by storm by giving birth to baby Blue Ivy Carter, Beyonce has launched an iPhone and iPad app, "Beyonce: Live At Roseland," which takes the DVD content from her sold-out four nights at New York’s famed Roseland Ballroom, placing it in a form that can be viewed on your iDevice of choice.
Previously only available on her "Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4" two-disc DVD concert film, the app combines music, concert footage and photographs to tell the story of the experience on and backstage during Beyonce's performances at the Roseland Ballroom.
The Beyonce Live at Roseland app was created for and with Beyonce by Treemo Labs (iTunes link). It costs $8.99 in the App Store, and so far has very good "reviews" in iTunes.
The Beyonce Live at Roseland app features the full Roseland concert and a photo gallery containing over 25 photos with pinch and zoom capability, all of which do not require an Internet connection to view. Fans can also download bonus video content --- "Behind The Stage" from Roseland and "Behind The Camera" from Beyonce's music videos. The app is social media sharing enabled.
Brent Brookler, CEO and founder of Treemo Labs said, "Offering all of these materials in an App represents an industry first and demonstrates again why Beyonce is a music and entertainment industry visionary. We’re extremely fortunate to have been able to work with her and her team on this project."
Subaru is one of those automakers that will either bore you to death or irk you with the styling of its products, but scarcely, if ever, cause any excitement with its designs.
The Impreza series is a characteristic example going from boredom to controversial and vice versa not only with each new restyling, but sometimes even within the same generation.
Time to meet the Impreza Casa Blanca - a special edition version of the first generation Sport Wagon with the 1.5-liter boxer engine that was introduced in Japan in 1999 to address the craze consumers had for retro styled cars at the time.
And yes, you read that correctly: the Casa Blanca isn't a abomination creation from some unknown coachbuilder but an official Subaru product and it was produced from 1999 to 2000 in a limited run of 5,000 units!
Burn your eyes to some pictures from a used model found up for sale in Japan along with two videos below.
McLaren is second only to Ferrari in Formula 1 World Championships, having won 12 constructors’ titles, three less than the Scuderia. Yet the 2011 season has not lived up to the team’s expectations despite winning six races, because the combination of Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull was clearly superior.
Speaking at the opening of McLaren’s new Production Center, the F1 team's principal, Martin Whitmarsh, admitted that they underperformed this year.
“By the high standards of McLaren, this has not been a vintage year," said Whitmarsh. "We’re very proud of the performance in Abu Dhabi, which brings us to six victories, and obviously we’d like it to make it seven before the end of this year. We’ve secured second place in the constructor’s championship, but clearly we want to win more races than this.”
Whitmarsh blames the slow start of the team, which gave Vettel and Red Bull an early advantage that proved valuable in winning both the 2011 drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Therefore, in 2012 McLaren has to be competitive right from the start: “We’ve got two great drivers and a fantastic team of men and women here. So we’re optimistic about next year”, said Whitmarsh. “But we’ve got to get out of the blocks quickly and effectively next year to make sure that we are winning races straightaway.”
