Spencer Pratt Shopping Heidi Montag Sex Tape

Spencer Pratt Selling Heidi Montag Sex Tape
Ok so The Hills is FINALLY over! I guess that the new girl Kristen Cavellari couldn’t carry the show after all. I can’t help thinking the producers should have moved Audrina up into the lead spot. But I digress.
I wondered what would happen next with the cast. Well I guess this is one answer. Apparently Spencer Pratt soon to be ex husband of Heidi Montag is shopping around a sex tape of he and Heidi. It was stated that Spencer had made a call to and is now in negotiations with adult video heavy hitter Vivid video. Yes the same company that MADE Jenna Jameson’s career!
Vivid video boss Steven Hirsch tells us, “I just got off the phone with Spencer Pratt about a sex tape with Heidi Montag.”
He continues, “We are in early negotiations to possibly come to terms for a deal.”
Spencer has told a friend that the alleged tape “makes Kim Kardashian look like an amateur.” I don’t know Spence Kim’s tape was pretty damn incredible! Not that I watched it over and over again.
But this whole sex tape angle should come as no surprise considering the douche bag guys and dumb ass women who were featured on the show.
With tools like Brody Jenner, Justin Bobby flopping about, it’s no wonder that young women these days have no idea what a real man let alone a decent man actually is. And well I’m sure there is no need to even comment on what a tool Spencer Pratt is, and what a dumbass Heidi Montag is.
Ladies; here’s a tip. If everyone in your family hates your boyfriend, every one of your friends hates your boyfriend, and his own family members hate him then you might want to get a stinking clue! Having someone in your life who pulls you away from your friends and family and everything familiar to you is a BAD thing.
But it should be interesting to see how all of this pans out.
Rednecks Figure Out How To Clean Oil Spills
0This is pretty sad that a couple of the good ole’ boys who turn out to be some really intelligent rednecks have figured out an extremely efficient, absolutely cost effective and constantly renewable means to clean up oil spills in the ocean! Now all we have to do is get the stupid geniuses to actually USE their methods.

And also want to wish High Speed Diva Shawnae Belvedere a very happy birthday today also! Here’s hoping you both have an incredibly WONDERFUL day!
And try and stay out of trouble! BOTH of you!
Is It Bad For a Mother To LIP Kiss Her Grown Son?

Quincy Jones Porter Lip Kisses his Mother Kim Porter
On mother’s day, Quincy Jones Porter son of 80′s recording artist Al B. Sure posted an image of him kissing his mother Kim Porter on the lips. The question this raises is one of appropriateness. We are certainly wondering where people weigh in on this subject. It’s not like he slipped her the tongue or anything.
As a mother of twin boys and girls we are very affectionate and it now makes me wonder how we are perceived by the outside world. There are always hugs and kisses in our house before any of us leave the home; and not in the forced this is expected sort of thing but it’s been a natural thing in our home.
In many cultures, outside of the ultra right wing conservative America this is a form of greeting and affection among both men and women. I guess the REAL question is, “Who are we to judge what goes on in someone elses family?”
Needless to say Quincy took a lot of heat for it, and posted his response. You can read his response to the criticism HERE! Your comments are as always welcome! Let’s discuss this! I am wondering if we should make this into a poll.
LINGERIE AD FEATURES EXPLOSION, TITTIES
2Here’s the full-length Victoria’s Secret ad that Michael Bay directed. It’s been on a bunch of other websites recently , but I’d hate for something that features supermodels, lingerie, and explosions to get excluded from HighSpeedMag.Com’s historical record.
Supermodels, lingerie, and explosions is why I got into writing in the first place. Writing, and also masturbating.
Reggie Bush Dating Country Singer Jessie James?
0Country singer Jessie James’ upcoming single may be called, “Boys Look Hotter in the Summer,” but it doesn’t sound like she’s singing about Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush.
At least not in the romantical sense…
You may have read recently that Bush, 25, and the 22-year-old music beauty have become more than just friends after hanging out together in Las Vegas. Well, a source insists there’s no hanky-panky going on.
The source explains that while Bush may have expressed some interest in Ms. James, she’s apparently made it clear she’s not going there. “She does not want to be dragged into the tabloids or anything like that,” the source says. “She doesn’t even like him like that. They’ve hung out in Vegas and L.A., but it wasn’t like they were alone or on a date.”
(Makes me wonder if that’s the REAL reason, or is she scared of losing much of her fan base by dating Reggie Bush? Hey girl, maybe it’ll help you pick up an entirely NEW fan base.)
Even if she wanted to, it’s not like James has a lot of free time to start dating someone right now. She’s currently finishing up her second album in Nashville and L.A. And that “Boys Look Hotter in the Summer” single? It’s set for release in June.
Apple iPad Will Leave HP Slate in the Dust
0The Microsoft following media has been tripping over itself this week, seemingly discounting the iPad as too bulky, too clunky, too simple. Some have even pointed to HP’s Slate as the superior device. Lucky for us, details on the specifications have leaked out thanks to Engadget, so we’re able here at High Speed Magazine to compare the two platforms based on what we know. From what has been disclosed so far, it still certainly seems to be advantage Apple, and here’s why.

1. Windows 7 is NOT a operating system made for touch-based devices. One of the most common criticisms of the iPad I’ve seen has been the operating system itself. While I tend to agree the user interface does need some tweaks, putting a full-on OS on these type of devices just doesn’t work. No matter how convenient it is to be able to run a full Windows app on a device like this, they aren’t built for the touch world. The interactivity gained through gestures and the like is lost on a mouse-based UI and no skin will correct that. Add to this the limitations of the hardware and such a feature becomes useless.
2. It’s not lighter (or much smaller) than the iPad. Paul Thurrott in his review criticized the iPad for its weight. Having actually picked up and played with the device myself, I believe this criticism is unwarranted. Yes, it has *a little* bit of weight to it, but this isn’t a handheld device necessarily. It’s meant to be cradled, put in your lap. Don’t look to the HP Slate to be lighter. The difference there is negligible, and its only slightly smaller and a bit thicker than the iPad. I sure hope the HP device gets the same treatment in its own review.
3. It’s not necessarily cheaper than Apple’s device. I must admit I chuckled here as I wrote this. When was the last time Apple actually competed on price? At least initially, they will beat HP here. At $499, Apple’s entry 16GB model will be cheaper, although HP’s low-end device will be 32GB at $549, $50 cheaper than Apple’s version. One has to assume however than running Windows 7 will certainly take up a good deal of space, so how much of an advantage will the space difference really be?
4. Battery life is half that of the iPad. We’ve seen confirmation out in the field that Apple’s claims of long battery life do seem pretty close to reality. Therefore, it should concern any prospective HP Slate owner that the company itself is only claiming battery life that is half of its Apple counterpart. Again, hate to harp on it but this is a desktop OS at work again. This software requires more processing and computing power, and thus more electrical power. It’s that simple, really.
5. HP does not have a solid stable of third-party applications for its device. Herein lies the beauty of the iPad. Apple has already lined up a cadre of developers behind its iPhone platform, and many of them are already rushing (or have out) applications built for the larger screen and added functionality of the iPad. To my knowledge, HP does not have anything near this, nor does it have plans to. The value proposition of the Slate seems especially lost here.
Does the Slate best Apple? Yes, in a few spots — notably the forward and outward facing cameras, and the memory expansion slot. But it seems more of a reaction to Apple’s latest move than an response. Reactionary devices rarely do well.
Multitasking comes to iPhone OS 4.0 — but not to the iPhone 3G
0You heard that right, people — iPhone OS 4 just brought multitasking to the platform! Apple says they’ve figured out how to implement third party multitasking without hurting performance or battery life, and they’re demoing it now — you just double click the home button and see a list of your apps, and you can just tap to switch between apps.
The system actually runs the services apps need in the background — the apps don’t need to do them individually, so it’s not a “true” multitasking system, but it seems plenty effective.
There are seven services: background audio, which allows you to use the standard pop-over iPod controls, Voice over IP, which can receive calls in the background, location services for GPS and social networking (there’s an indicator if any service is tracking you), updated push notifications with local notifications, task completion so you can finish things like uploads in the background, and fast app switching, which lets apps sleep and resume instantly.
Notably missing? Anything for managing a conversation, like IM or Twitter, which is a big omission. Win some, lose some, we suppose.
Here’s a big “lose some” — only the iPhone 3GS and 3rd generation (late 2009) iPod touch will support multitasking. The iPhone 3G and below won’t — Steve says the hardware doesn’t support it. Sad face.
This news while cool really sucks for those of us who already have an iPhone. Good thing with my next High Speed Magazine check I’ll be able to go out and get the new iPhone 4G.
UPDATE:
Multitasking
iPhone OS 4 delivers seven new multitasking services that allow your apps to perform tasks in the background while preserving battery life and performance. These multitasking services include:
- Background audio – Allows your app to play audio continuously. So customers can listen to your app while they surf the web, play games, and more.
- Voice over IP – Your VoIP apps can now be even better. Users can now receive VoIP calls and have conversations while using another app. Your users can even receive calls when their phones are locked in their pocket.
- Background location – Navigation apps can now continue to guide users who are listening to their iPods, or using other apps. iPhone OS 4 also provides a new and battery efficient way to monitor location when users move between cell towers. This is a great way for your social networking apps to keep track of users and their friends’ locations.
- Push notifications – Receive alerts from your remote servers even when your app isn’t running.
- Local notifications – Your app can now alert users of scheduled events and alarms in the background, no servers required.
- Task finishing – If your app is in mid-task when your customer leaves it, the app can now keep running to finish the task.
- Fast app switching – All developers should take advantage of this. This will allow users to leave your app and come right back to where they were when they left – no more having to reload the app.
