Oil prices rise on Nigeria supply concerns

(AP) ? Oil prices are climbing Thursday as striking oil workers threaten to shut down production in Nigeria.

Nigeria is the fifth-largest oil exporter to the United States, and a shutdown would force American refineries to replace 630,000 barrels per day of crude. Nigerian workers, who have been protesting a removal of government fuel subsidies, plan to cut off oil production starting Sunday.

Benchmark crude jumped by $1.47 to $102.35 per barrel in New York. Brent crude rose by $2.32 to $114.38 per barrel in London.

Natural gas prices continued to drop as mild winter weather cuts into heating demand. Prices fell by another 4.4 cents to $2.73 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Meanwhile, U.S. gasoline prices rose by a penny to a national average of $3.38 per gallon.

Michael Jackson To Be Immortalized At Grauman's Chinese Theatre

On Friday Michael Jackson To Be Immortalized At Grauman's Chinese Theatre was a top story. Here is the recap: (PR) Michael Jackson is set to be immortalized in a hand and foot print ceremony at Hollywood's legendary Grauman's Chinese Theatre on January 26, 2012, starting at 11:00am.

The ceremony will be part of a giant celebration of the legacy of the King of Pop and the Los Angeles debut of Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour, the critically acclaimed Cirque du Soleil production and top grossing tour in the United States.

The Estate will be joined by Michael Jackson's three children, Prince, Paris and "Blanket" who will use their father's sequined glove and shoes to make impressions in the cement in the famous forecourt of the theatre as family, friends and fans celebrate the legacy of the King of Pop. The event is produced by the executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson, John McClain and John Branca. A special live presentation from the cast of THE IMMORTAL World Tour will be performed, and the event will be M.C.'d by Access Hollywood and Access Hollywood Live's anchor Billy Bush - more on this story

Best holiday windows

The Bergdorf Goodman windows on Fifth Avenue are truly stunning, worth a look if you are in the area. The artists who put together these tableaux worked with themes like paper, metal, and mosaics and didn?t get bogged down with the holidays or merchandise.

Can?t afford it! THINK AGAIN!

Thin. Light. Fully loaded.

Two cameras for FaceTime and HD video recording. The dual-core A5 chip. 10-hour battery life.?Over 200 new software features in iOS 5. And iCloud. All in a remarkably thin, light design. There?s so much to iPad, it?s amazing there?s so little of it.

Technology so advanced,?you?ll forget it?s even there.

When you pick up iPad, it becomes an extension of you. That?s the idea behind its innovative design. It?s just 0.34 inch thin and weighs as little as 1.33 pounds, so it feels completely comfortable in your hands.?And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching movies, and reading books so natural, you?ll wonder why you ever did it any other way.

Dual-core A5 chip.?It?s fast, times two.

Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once. Multitasking is smooth, apps load quickly, and anything you touch responds instantly. And with up to nine times the graphics performance of the first-generation iPad, everything on iPad 2 is even more fluid and realistic, from gameplay to scrolling through your photo library.

Instant On.?Touch and go.

Pick up your iPad, press the Home button, and it wakes from sleep instantly. That?s because iPad features fast, efficient, and reliable flash storage that lets you access data quickly. So everything effortlessly springs to life.

Battery life keeps on going. So you can, too.

Even with such a thin, light design, iPad has an incredible 10-hour battery life.?That?s enough juice for one flight across the ocean, or one movie-watching all-nighter, or a week?s commute across town. Because iPad hardware and software are made for each other, the power-efficient A5 chip works with the iOS software to keep battery life from fading away.

Two cameras. And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad.

You?ll see two cameras on iPad ? one on the front and one on the back. They may be tiny, but they?re a big deal. They?re designed for FaceTime video calling, and they work together so you can talk to your favorite people and see them smile and laugh back at you.?The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. Switch to the back camera during your video call to share where you are, who you?re with, or what?s going on around you. When you?re not using FaceTime, let the back camera roll if you see something movie-worthy. It?s HD, so whatever you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It?s the most fun a face can have.

?iOS. The world?s most advanced mobile operating system.

iOS is the operating system for iPad. And it lets you see and do everything just by touching the screen. It includes all the powerful, innovative, and fun built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. It?s the platform for which more than 140,000 other amazing iPad apps have been created to take advantage of the large Multi-Touch screen. And now with over 200 new features in iOS 5 ? including?Newsstand,?iMessage, andNotification Center?? iOS is yet another reason no other device comes close to?iPad.

iCloud. Your content. On all your devices.

iCloud?stores your music, photos, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.?So if you buy a song, take a photo, or edit a calendar event on your iPad, iCloud makes sure it appears on your Mac, iPhone, and iPod touch, too. You don?t have to do a thing.

LED-backlit display.?The view is?amazing.

iPad is one big, beautiful display ? 9.7 inches of high-resolution photos, movies, web pages, books, and more. LED backlighting makes everything you see remarkably crisp, vivid, and bright. Even in places with low light, like an airplane. And there?s no wrong way to hold iPad. It?s designed to show off everything in portrait and landscape, so with every turn (even upside down), the display adjusts to fit. Because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178? viewing angle. Hold it up to someone across the room, or share it with someone sitting next to you, and everyone gets a brilliant?view.

Multi-Touch.?Everything?s at your fingertips.

With iPad, you use your fingers to do everything. And thanks to Multi-Touch technology, everything youdo ??surfing the web, typing email, reading books, swiping through photos, and switching between apps?? is easier and a lot more fun. When your fingers touch the display, it senses them using electrical fields. Then it?instantly transforms your taps, swipes, pinches, and flicks into lifelike actions. Just like that.

Gyro, accelerometer, and compass. ?iPad knows your every move.

With the built-in accelerometer, you can rotate iPad to portrait or landscape, or even upside down, and whatever you?re watching, reading, or seeing adjusts to fit the display. And now the accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, and compass all work together. They sense which direction iPad is heading and how it?s moving. So games, maps, and other apps know your every twist, turn, tilt, and 360. It?s an epic win for gaming. And it?s just the beginning of better-than-ever iPad apps.

AirPlay.?Broadcast live to your HDTV and speakers.

All the great stuff on your iPad ? your music, photos, and videos ? can stream wirelessly to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV or AirPlay-enabled speakers over a Wi-Fi network.?With just a tap on the AirPlay icon, you can blast some tunes, have a movie night, show off some photos, or watch YouTube. And go big.

Video mirroring.?See it here. See it there.

Video mirroring for iPad is great for every app, web page, presentation, video, movie, or photo you want to show a big audience. Just plug in the Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (sold separately)?and your HDTV or projector becomes a bigger version of your iPad. One plug, that?s it. Or you can wirelessly stream what?s on your iPad with AirPlay Mirroring and Apple TV. Everyone sees what?s on yourdisplay ??even when you rotate iPad from portrait to landscape or zoom in and out.

AirPrint.?Print everything wirelessly.

Print your email, photos, web pages, and documents right from your iPad over Wi-Fi.?There?s no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on the iPad screen to holding a printed copy.

Facebook Messenger client for Windows slips out for download (Update: Official download available)

We've already had an early peek at Facebook's yet-to-be-released Messenger client for Windows, and now you can give it a shot yourself courtesy of a leaked copy that's turned up on the TechIT website. Not much in the way of surprises here, but if you're the sort that prefers desktop applications to websites or mobile apps, you'll be glad to know that it provides access to not just Facebook chat, but status updates and notifications from your friends as well. You can find the download at the source link below (Windows 7 is required).

Update: Facebook has now made an official download available -- you can grab it here, and find additional details on the application here.

[Thanks, Avi]
