 MUMBAI: After scoring over Shah Rukh Khan in Danny Boyle’s much-awaited venture ‘Bombay Velvet’, Aamir has once again left the King Khan fuming! The perfectionist superstar has now replaced SRK in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s upcoming flick ‘Ferrari Ki Sawari’.According to the latest buzz, Vidhu Vinod Chopra was quite confused over the past few days as he couldn’t conclude upon the lead actors for his much-anticipated project. But now, the filmmaker, after conducting a survey for the same, has reportedly decided to rope in Aamir Khan in the lead role. Reports reveal that Chopra’s assistant directors and production executives went around coffee shops starting from Bandra to Juhu to conduct a survey for the role of a father to a nine-year-old son. However, grapevine has it that not just Aamir but actor Sharman Joshi too scored over Shah Rukh in the poll.

Aamir replaces SRK in ‘Ferrari Ki Sawari’
Australia set Pakistan 180-run target in 2nd Test
 LEEDS: Steven Smith's maiden Test fifty left the second Test against Pakistan finely balanced at Headingley here on Friday.Australia were bowled out for 349 in their second innings, having made just 88 in their first, to leave Pakistan needing 180 for a victory that would square the two-match series at 1-1. Leg-spinner Smith, in only his second match at this level, was last man out for 77, bowled slogging at Umar Gul, after coming in when Australia's advantage was only 47. He shared stands of 37 with both Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus for the eighth and ninth wickets respectively. Pakistan have lost their last 13 Tests against Australia - a record run for one country against another - and in Sydney in January were bowled out for 139 chasing a fourth innings victory target of 176. Smith went to fifty in style, sweeping leg-spinner Danish Kaneria for four. In the morning, Pakistan teenage left-arm quick Mohammad Aamer took three wickets for just 12 runs in 16 balls, on his way to final figures of four for 86 in 27 overs, to leave Australia 215 for five at lunch. Michael Clarke, the last of Australia's recognised batsmen, was 76 not out, having started the day unbeaten on 32 and wicketkeeper Tim Paine, who top scored with 17 in the first innings, was 17 not out. However Clarke added just one to his interval score when, to Mohammad Asif's first ball after lunch he was caught behind off a superb full length delivery that just seamed away enough to take the outside edge and end the Australia vice-captain's four hours' of resistance. Australia were plunged into further trouble by a fortunate Kaneria wicket. Paine in what was only his second Test, made a composed 33 in two hours with five boundaries. But his innings ended when he spooned a Kaneria long hop to Azhar Ali at cover. Smith and Mitchell Johnson added valuable runs and with Australia 264 for seven after 80 overs, Pakistan took the new ball as soon as it was available. But in the fifth over of the new ball, Johnson was lbw to Asif for 12. Kaneria succeeded where the quicks failed, Hilfenhaus edging him to Umar Akmal at slip after making 17 featuring four boundaries. Aamer took three for 20 as Australia were routed for 88 on Wednesday - their lowest Test total since being dismissed for 76 by the West Indies at Perth in 1984. Australia resumed on their overnight score of 136 for two, 34 behind Pakistan's first innings 258. But Ponting had added only five more when he drove loosely outside off stump against Aamer and was caught by wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal for 66, having put on 89 for the third wicket with Clarke. |
Apple: White iPhone 4 Delayed Until Later This Year Due To Manufacturing Challenges
Looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer for the White iPhone 4. Apple just released a statement saying that the white model of the new iPhone won’t be available until later in 2010. In late June, Apple released a statement saying that the white iPhone 4 will not be available until the second half of July due to manufacturing challenges. As with this most recent release, it is unclear from the statement what those challenges are. But we received an update last week during Steve Jobs’ ‘Antennagate’ press conference that the White iPhone would ship at the end of July.
It appears things have changed within a week.
Apple said that the shortage of the white iPhones will not affect supply of the more popular black models. But for those of you who were pining for a white device, you will have to wait until later this year. The iPhone 4 was available for pre-order in Black starting June 15. At that point, it was assumed you’d be able to purchase the white model of the phone in stores on June 24. But clearly, these “Manufacturing challenges” have prevented Apple from releasing large quantities of the phone to the public.
Here’s the full statement from Apple:
White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.Of course you can always try to build your own white iPhone 4 if you don’t want to wait.
