The Gillmor Gang — Robert Scoble, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, John Taschek, and Steve Gillmor — neatly sidestepped the Yahoo Tumblr acquisition and segued into the wonderful world of messaging. As Facebook Home settles into a cot at the homeless shelter, Google is revving up for an all-out assault on the service suite. Google Glass is just the tip of the iceberg; below the waterline, the search giant is sucking image, location, traffic, and advertising data in realtime.
Google Buzz, the social service that Google launched way back in 2010 and then killed in 2011, reminded former users that their data still lives in and will be moved over to your Google Drive accounts in July. That's lovely.
"Fast & Furious 6" put its pedal to the metal with a $38.1 million Friday that has the Memorial Day weekend box office on a blistering record pace.
The latest entry in Universal's muscle-car movie franchise could hit $120 million for the four-day weekend, and the overall box office is on track to top $300 million, which would easily outstrip the $276 million rung up in 2011, when "Hangover II" led the way with $85 million.
The follow-up to that film, "The Hangover Part III," was running second after bringing in $14.5 million Friday. The final installment in Warner Bros.' raunchy R-rated comedy series, which opened Thursday, is looking at four-day total of around $53 million, and should wind up at around $63 million for the long weekend.

"Fast & Furious 6" was scoring overseas too. It debuted No. 1 in 59 foreign markets and took in $36 million Friday, which projects to more than $150 million from abroad this weekend. That will easily beat the studio's previous best, which was the $92.3 million "Fast Five" rolled up in 2011.
Combined with the huge domestic debut, it was the best-ever Friday at the box office for Universal, which could see a worldwide total of $265 million for "Fast & Furious 6" by the end of the weekend.
The weekend's other wide opener, Fox's animated family film "Epic," debuted with $9.2 million and is on its way to around $43 million for the four days. That has it just behind last week's No. 1 movie, Paramount's "Star Trek Into Darkness," which took in $10 million and is on pace for a $48 million four-day haul.
The next three days should stay busy at the box office, with both "Fast & Furious 6" and "Epic" receiving "A" CinemaScore grades from first-night audiences and driving word of mouth. "Hangover III" got a "B."

Disney's Marvel superhero sequel "Iron Man 3" rolled to another $5.1 million Friday and should finish at around $26 million for the four days. That raises its domestic total to $351 million, and its worldwide haul to more than $1.1 billion.
Warner Bros. "The Great Gatsby," which topped $100 million domestically Thursday, followed with $3.9 million Friday and is looking at a $16.8 million four-day total. "Mud," "The Croods," "42" and "Oblivion" rounded out the top ten.

"Fast & Furious 6" dominated Friday, averaging $10,440 on its 3,658 screens. Nothing else was close. "The Hangover Part III" averaged $4,060 per-screen in 3,555 theaters.
"Fast and Furious 6" brings back Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson along with director Justin Lin, who has overseen four of the franchise's films. It also revives fan-favorite Michelle Rodriguez, who was killed off in an earlier segment.
The London-set terrorist plot is a long way from the franchise's street-racing roots. Since the first film 12 years ago the "Fast and Furious" movies have brought in more than $1.5 billion.

"Arrested Development" is finally back. At 12:01 a.m. PT Sunday, Netflix will stream all 15 new episodes of the revived show's Season 4 at once.
In the spirit of one a program that's had some of the heaviest and most successful "inside jokes" in the history of television, we proudly present you with the 10 best.
1. "Hey, Brother!"
Buster (Tony Hale) pretty much had one greeting for every member of his family -- especially the male siblings. Here's a bunch in one hysterically repetitive montage.
2. Tobias' "Unintentional" Homoerotic Comments
Tobias Funke (David Cross) is not gay, though nearly everything he says and does would contradict that. And the "world's first Analrapist's" way of turning a phrase became ever more ridiculous as the show's original run unfolded:
3. George Michael's Ann/Egg
When George Michael (Michael Cera) wasn't secretly courting cousin Maeby (and even when he was), he had an on-again/off-again girlfriend named Ann. The only problem was, Ann was the most forgettable human being in the world:
4. "I've Made a Huge Mistake."
Gob Bluth (Will Arnett) made a lot of mistakes over the first three seasons of the show. Here are a number of them in an extended moment of self-reflection:
5. The Chicken Dances
You're not a real super-fan of "Arrested Development" if you don't have your own chicken dance. Fortunately, one obsessed fan made a compilation from the whole Bluth family: AC/DC is ordinarily not included -- nor are any traits of actual chickens:
6. Buster's Hand/"Loose Seal"
The writers foreshadowed Buster losing his hand to a rogue seal brilliantly -- well before any of us really knew it was happening. And though Buster's run-ins with overprotective and overbearing mom Lucille, girlfriend Lucille Austero and ultimately an actual "loose seal" left him anything but "all right," you wouldn't know it from the description of the Bluth family doctor, who lacks bedside manner, logic, and tact. See what we mean next.
7. The Literal Doctor
The world's worst emergency room physician takes the Hippocratic Oath quite hypocritically. Don't ever take this guy at his word.
8. Franklin Delano Bluth
In an effort to "hip up" his act, Gob had briefly introduced a puppet -- a super vulgar, awesomely racist puppet that clashed quite a bit with the rest of the Bluths. Together, Gob and Franklin released one hit single, "It Ain't Easy Bein White or Brown."
9. "Come On!"
Never has such a short, common phrase so perfectly encompassed an entire family of failures. The Bluth's cannot catch a break, though it's pretty much their own fault every single time. Come on!
10. J. Walter Weatherman, Life Lesson Coach
Weatherman (Steve Ryan), an old employee of George Bluth Sr,. always popped up when somebody needed to learn a life lesson the hard way. After all, who better to scare the behavior out of impressionable children (and eventually adults) than a one-armed man? Sometimes kids don't leave notes and sometimes they yell -- and THAT'S why you always keep J. Walter Weatherman on the payroll.
Although 3D printing technology has existed for some time, it's only now beginning to cross over into mainstream awareness, thanks to increasingly affordable access to the printers themselves as well as attention-grabbing headlines about 3D printed guns and life-saving medical applications. While less eye-catching, perhaps, the innovation is also powering a new class of creatives, who are using 3D printers to produce art instead. Their "handmade" goods, including jewelry, home decor, gifts and more, appear on sites like the marketplace for crafters, Etsy, and the 3D printing resource center and online shop, Shapeways.
It hasn't been a great few months for famous, young, rich, attractive couples.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez split toward the end of 2012.
Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev broke the hearts of Vampire Diaries fans earlier this month.
And then Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart ended their three-year relationship just last weekend.

SATURDAY 6:30 AM, 7TH UPDATE: Summer 2013 keeps sizzling as huge grosses for the Top 6 movies add up to the biggest Memorial Day weekend and the biggest 4-day holiday ever(numbers below). That’s potentially $300+ million, easily beating 2011′s all-time Memorial Weekend record of $276M. Yowza! The easy #1 is Universal’s Fast & Furious 6 pulling ahead with $39M Friday (including Thursday late shows and Friday midnights) to target $119.3M for the holiday weekend from 3,658 domestic theaters. After 12 years, five films and more than $1.5 billion at the global box office, the sixth Fast & Furious installment successfully transitioned from street racing to heist action to terrorist plot and 
will be the franchise’s biggest opening by far. Audiences gave it an ‘A’ CinemaScore which will help word of mouth. Universal claims the cost of the movie is $160M. F&F6 debuted in 2,409 North American theaters for Thursday 10 PM late shows and Friday midnights and made $6.5M which speeded past Fast 5‘s $3.8M late show grosses from an uncrowded April 29, 2011. It debuts day and date in 59 total international territories this weekend and going into Friday already has $53.4M from 34 international markets, opening #1 in all of them as the franchise’s biggest. Another 25 territories release Friday. No studio has ever dared to keep changing the genre of a successful franchise – but chairman Adam Fogelson and co-chairman Donna Langley again hired Chris Morgan to freshen it yet again. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is back ... Read More »
And then there were two.
As Saturday broke in Cannes, 18 of the 20 films in competition for the Palme d'Or had screened. Only Jim Jarmusch's vampire movie "Only Lovers Left Alive" and Roman Polanski's presumably kinky "Venus in Fur" remained.
And with the Jarmusch taking the 8:30 a.m. slot on the heels of its Friday sale to Sony Pictures Classics, reactions quickly began coming in on the latest film from the man who'd been to Cannes with "Stranger Than Paradise" and "Mystery Train."
A few samples from Twitter:
Guy Lodge from In Contention: "Jarmusch! Vampires! Exactly what you'd expect! Droll enough, but an extended sketch, badly in need of eroticism."
Jeff Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere: "Jim Jarmusch's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' is a perfect William S. Burroughsian nocturnal hipster mood trip...I sank into it like heroin."
Eric Kohn from Indiewire: "Surprised to find Jarmusch's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' is a charming deadpan comedy that resurrects the spirit of his '80s movies."
TotalFilm: "No surprise that Jarmusch's 'Only Lovers Left Alive' offers a singular vision. Big surprise it's so funny."
Jordan Hoffman of Film.com: "Undoubtedly the coolest movie at Cannes."
Electric Sheep Magazine: "Dreamy, romantic vampire tale 'Only Lovers Left Alive' sees Jim Jarmusch back on top form in his deadpan, warped sense of humour."
Nobody's calling the Jarmusch film a masterpiece, mind you. In fact, the word masterpiece hasn't been thrown around much at this Cannes, with lots of films winning admirers but few prompting expressions of shock and awe.
But Grantland's Wesley Morris decided on the spur of the moment Friday to see a four-hour-and-10-minute Filipino movie called "Norte, the End of History," which is playing in the Un Certain Regard section. And after wondering for the first 45 minutes if he should leave, he wound up sticking around, then leaping to his feet and joining in the lengthy standing ovation. It was, he said, the first time he's ever applauded for a movie.
"This is the sort of masterpiece the main competition has yet to produce, an astonishing work of life, death, and art that isn't bluntly political, vapidly violent, or completely self-obsessed," he wrote. "It's a crime for the directors on the jury — [Steven] Spielberg, [Naomi] Kawase, Ang Lee, Cristian Mungiu, and Lynne Ramsay — not to have the opportunity to see it."
And from the (reportedly) sublime to the (unquestionably) ridiculous, for most of the past 10 days we've avoided rounding up much news from the Cannes Film Festival's evil twin, the marche du film, where schlock is bought and sold in the shadows of the high art being celebrated at the festival. But the Guardian's Friday roundup of the 12 worst posters of projects up for grabs in the marche is irresistible.
There's "Copposites" ("A crook. A cop. A body swap."), and "Sharknado" (yeah, it's a tornado full of sharks), and "Bring Me the Head of the Machine Gun Woman," and "FDR American Badass" and "Abner the Invisible Dog" and eight more. We've put a couple of choice posters here, but it's worth the trip to check out the whole batch, and to imagine the hundreds that just missed making the cut.
Your government is worried. The world is "going dark." Once upon a time, telephones were the only way to talk to someone far away, and the authorities could wiretap any phone they wanted. Nowadays, though, suspects might be communicating via Facebook, Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Skype, Viber. And so, inevitably: “Today, if you’re a tech company that’s created a new and popular way to communicate, it’s only a matter of time before the FBI shows up with a court order to read or hear some conversation.”
But some of those providers have no interest in spying on their users. The FBI is not amused. "A government task force is preparing legislation that would pressure companies such as Facebook and Google to enable law enforcement officials to intercept online communications as they occur," according to the Washington Post, by fining them increasing sums until they build government-accessible back doors into their systems.
Which invites the titular question of this post.
She may have invited them into her life at one point, but Kim Kardashian has had it with the paparazzi.
Yesterday, after arriving at LAX, the pregnant reality star was surrounded and hounded by these supposed journalist.
Covering her face, Kim just made it to her car... where photographer had opened a door in order to snap more pictures when she yelled: "Shut the f*cking door, you idiots!"
Watch the craziness unfold here:
Earlier this month, Kanye West walked into a pole due to the paparazzi and Kim nearly got into a car crash.
Sound off now: Do you think the paparazzi should leave Kardashian alone?
Whichever way the mistral wind blows on Sunday when Steven Spielberg’s jury hands out its awards, it’s fair to say that, for critics, the Competition has been divisive. While a number of films received huzzahs in the Palais, several met with mixed reactions. Among the best received were the Coen 
brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, Steven Soderbergh’s Behind The Candelabra, Paolo Sorrentino’s The Great Beauty, Hirokazu Kore-Eda’s Like Father Like Son, and Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue Is The Warmest Color. Among the not so hot were Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives and Takashi Miike’s Shield Of Straw, both of which were subject to boos during press screenings. And, yet, each has its supporters.
Only God Forgives had something to live up to. Winding Refn and star Ryan Gosling were the darlings of Cannes two years ago when the former won the directing prize for Drive. But God Forgives‘ violence and extreme exercise in style were a turn-off for many. Still, The Guardian gave it five stars. One veteran critic adds that supporters also “tend to be French and genre specialists.” Libération calls Gosling, “The greatest actor of all time in the galaxy of the world.” Shield Of Straw, from ...
