Dubai World gets full support for restructuring
State-owned Dubai World (DBWLD.UL) has secured support from all its creditors for a $25 billion debt restructuring plan, a spokesman said on Wednesday, helping to avoid a drawn-out battle with a special tribunal. The spokesman did not provide further details. The Financial Times reported that Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) had bought the debt held by the only creditor to have held off approving the deal, citing people familiar with the situation.

SA beat Pakistan in first Twenty20
ABU DHABI: South Africa beat Pakistan by six wickets in the first of two Twenty20 internationals played at Abu Dhabi Stadium here on Tuesday. Tsotsobe, with a career-best 3-16, and skipper Botha (3-31) led a spirited South African bowling to restrict Pakistan to a paltry 119 at the Abu Dhabi Stadium in a match whose income will go to flood victims in Pakistan. Over two million people were displaced in the worst-ever floods in Pakistan. Jean-Paul Duminy hit an elegant 41 while Colin Ingram remained unbeaten with 46 as South Africa reached the target after losing three early wickets for 26. The two left-handers shared a solid 66-run partnership for the fourth wicket after paceman Shoaib Akhtar gave Pakistan some hope with the quick wickets of |
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never Movie Trailer
LOS ANGELES: Whatever your opinion of Justin Bieber, one thing's for sure: Even when he was 3, the guy could lay down a solid drum break.
The first full trailer for the Bieb's 3-D movie Never Say Never is here, and while it's full of the requisite skinny jeans, stylish hoodies and blown-out hair, it also features several revealing moments of Bieber before he became a music phenomenon...
From the looks of the trailer, the movie seems to be shaping up as a full Bieber retrospective, not just a concert video with some skits thrown in, a la the Jonas Brothers and their attempt.
In Never Say Never we get actual home video of young Justin (well, younger than the world-weary 16 he is now) showing off multi-instrumental music skills, behind-the

White iPhone 4 evidence shows up in Apple Store app's update?
So, you may or may not have noticed that this morning, Apple updated its own Apple Store app for the very first time, and version 1.1 has a little surprise. That's right, in the 'Reserve Products' screen, the much delayed white iPhone 4 shows up as an option. Now, before you lose control of yourself, keep in mind that you can't actually reserve one... yet. Of course, this could just be some sort of cruel glitch in the system, or it could be a tiny bit of evidence that the white iPhone is actually, finally on its way. At the
Nokia Siemens Networks sees 825Mbps over traditional copper, Phantom DSL claims 'the future'
Look, it's not easy nor cheap to lay an entirely new network infrastructure -- just ask Verizon. Regardless of how badly we all want a fiber optic cable ran directly into our closet, it's probably in our best interest if companies like Nokia Siemens Networks continue to improve existing services. Since we're on the topic, it's probably prudent to point out a new discovery surrounding existing copper wires -- one that involves data transmissions at up to 825Mbps. As the story goes, NSN is testing new technology (let's call it Phantom DSL) that could dramatically increase capacity of conventional copper wires, with the aforesaid data point coming on a trial transfer across 400 meters of wire; when stretched to

Let's set the scene: you let that last Bm chord ring out, the crowd roars in the background, the fog fades and the lights go down. A drip of sweat falls from your brow and lands softly on the pick guard of your shiny new Fender. A smile graces your face, you slowly remove your weapon of choice from around your body and slam it down whimsically on your guitar stand. Exit stage right. Meanwhile, you're munching on a week-old Honey Bun and some prankster from that mosh pit on the left is making off

Justin Bieber to shave off hair for new look?
Justin Bieber is known for his unique hair style but the teen pop sensation says he is not tied to his current look and can shave it off for his next album.
The 16-year-old singer's signature look is his blonde hair gathered on his forehead in the form of heavy bangs. Bieber described the cut as "a Canadian hockey thing", and said styling involves shampoo, conditioner, a blow dry, but "no product", reported Contactmusic.
"I've cut this style different ways, but I was thinking about shaving it off or changing it. But I know now isn't the right time. Maybe for my next album," said Bieber.
He has signed a deal with Etoile Nation beauty which will see Bieber release his own signature fragrance, but rather than being bottled, the scent will come on wristbands and dog tags.
The unique product is already being talked about as the new 'craze', and will be available to buy in Wal-Mart for Christmas.
The collection will include four different designs, Icon, Energy, Tour, and Web, and the range are set to be priced at $10 each.
