Vatican confirms pope hit his head during Mexico-Cuba trip, denies it had role in resignation

Finola Hughes has called the upcoming 50th anniversary of "General Hospital" a "really sweet" moment."I think the fact that we, at 'GH,' are doing so well right now, and to enter into our 50th anniversary on such a high, it feels really sweet," the actress, who plays Port Charles Police Chief Anna Devane, told Access Hollywood, when asked about the daytime drama's impending anniversary.

Adobe CEO clumsily dodges pricing questions in YouTube 'farce' (video)

If Adobe has any love whatsoever for its non-US customers, it's not great at showing it. The video after the break reveals CEO Shantanu Narayen evading the genuine questions of a Delimiter journalist at a press conference in Sydney. The reporter wanted to know why Adobe's Creative Suite is priced $1,400 higher in Australia than in America, reflecting a geographic disparity that has long vexed Australian customers and lawmakers alike. But instead of answering, Narayen sought to shrug the journalist off with some marketing spiel about an entirely different product -- Creative Cloud -- ultimately leading Delimiter to condemn the whole episode as a "farce."

If we understand Narayen right, he seems to be implying that Australian customers are being charged a high price for traditional boxed software in order to nudge them towards Adobe's subscription-based cloud service instead. Given that the Creative Cloud was itself hugely overpriced in Australia until a sudden and awkward u-turn just a couple of days ago, that sort of argument is hardly likely to win back much affection. However, this older Narayen clip actually might.

Apple's search technology lawsuit against Samsung may go on hold

By Dan Levine

SAN JOSE, California | Thu Feb 14, 2013 4:10pm EST

SAN JOSE, California (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday asked Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd whether an Apple patent lawsuit over search technology should be put on hold for several months until after an appeals court resolves a separate lawsuit between the two companies.

Apple won a $1.05 billion verdict last year against Samsung in a California trial court, but U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh rejected Apple's request for a permanent sales ban against several Samsung phones. Apple has appealed and a ruling is not expected until September at the earliest.

Apple also accused Samsung in a second lawsuit of violating a separate batch of patents, including the rights to search technology that is part of the iPhone Siri voice feature. That case is scheduled for trial in March 2014.

At a hearing on Thursday in a San Jose, California, federal court, Koh told attorneys for both companies that a potential resolution of the Apple versus Samsung legal war would cover both lawsuits. Koh asked if the second case should be suspended until after the appeals court ruled on the first.

"I just don't know if we really need two cases on this," Koh said.

Apple attorney William Lee said the cases should proceed in parallel as they involve different patents. However, Samsung attorney Victoria Maroulis said there was substantial "overlap" between the two proceedings.

Koh ordered attorneys for both sides to discuss the idea and report back on their positions by March 7.

"I assume there have been no further settlement discussions," Koh asked, "or at least none that have gone anywhere?"

"The answer to the last question is, that's correct," Lee said.

The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California is Apple Inc. vs Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al, 12-630.

Comcast and Fox strike a deal, so Fuel is coming to a TV near you

If like me, you get your cable via Comcast, the UFC's deal with Fox has been a big bag of frustration. Fuel, the channel that carries UFC fights events, preliminary bouts, isn't carried by Comcast. I live in a high rise apartment building with no choice of cable providers, so I was stuck. I heard from many Cagereaders that I wasn't alone in this predicament.

Good news -- Comcast and Fox have finally reached a deal. Comcast's Xfinity subscribers will have access to Fuel and all of its UFC-centric programming.

Now, we don't yet have the details on when Fuel will be available. It is not expected to be in place in time for this weekend's fights on Fuel. But a quick check of On Demand showed that it's already chock full of free Fuel content so Comcasters can watch some Fuel programming now.

Another day, another pile of?celebrity?dirty.?It?s time to catch you up on all the celebrity gossip first thing in the AM so you can be in the know before all of your friends!

Today we?ve got the latest dirt on everything from Lady Gaga canceling some of her tour dates, Beyonce released some new song lyrics about her miscarriage, and the cop who backed Chris Brown?s community service resigns!

Let?s get it started!

Lady Gaga Cancels Tour Dates, But Hold Unto Those Tickets!

Gaga announced that she?s?postponing four concerts on her current tour?due to synovitis, or severe inflammation of the joints. She plans to reschedule her shows at Chicago?s United Center, previously set for this Wednesday and Thursday, as well as upcoming shows in Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario.

We are wishing her a speedy recovery! Just goes to show that Mother Monster is willing to perform for her fans even through pain. She?ll be hitting up her home town of NYC Feb 22nd, 23rd and March 6th and 7th.

Chris Brown?s Community Service Cop Resigns!

Here we thought Breezy was just feeling the heat from his supposed community service lying. Turns out the Richmond, Virginia police chief (Bryan Norwood) who signed off on the papers for Chris Brown resigned, amid the supposed scandal. Does this mean things aren?t what they seem?

?It is unclear whether Norwood?s resignation ? as reported by?The Associated Press?? is tied to Brown?s troubles, but the timing suggests that he felt a certain pressure as L.A. officials look into the case.?

Sounds like something fishy is going on with this, but we won?t possibly know more until April, which is when Brown will be back in court for his community service/probation case. Odds are: Chris Brown 1 ? Richmond, Virginia 0

And it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I?ve ever been through.?

So needless to say, this documentary healed Beyonce! According to Beyonce?s fan site BeyonceLite, this is a sample of lyrics written from Beyonce where she talks about her miscarriage.
