Bill Gates x Olivia Munn at Sundance

Over the weekend, Olivia Munn continued her duties with Bing (Last year, she hosted the Bingathon on Hulu). Since Microsoft owns Bing.com, Olivia Munn got to interview none other than Microsoft’s Chairman Bill Gates. We wonder who was more nervous?

It was Bill Gates’ first time at Sundance. He was checking out the film “Waiting for Superman” about the state of the US education system and chilling out in Utah. Toward the end of the interview, they follow each other on twitter. Here’s Olivia’s twitter message:

@billgates and I are officially best friends. Proof: he nicknamed me “O-Kat” and I named him “B-Dizzle”.

iPad overview with by Brian Tong

The Apple iPad got all the buzz yesterday. CNET’s Brian Tong give a quick overview of the iPad.

looks like a giant iPod touch

functions like photo frame and iBook

existing apps work on the device, but expect more apps to come

iWorks suite reworked to fuction on it

starting prices $499 wifi version $629 3G + wifi version

It’s a little pricey to us versus what you can get out there for the same price (i.e. netbook) We’ll have to wait til it comes out if anything changes to make it more worthwhile. Expect to see the iPad in late March 2010/early April 2010.

The Rock’s favorite YouTube videos

The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) was featured on YouTube last week sharing some of his favorite videos on YouTube including Evolution of Dance, Charlie bit my finger – again !, surprise your man, and Le Haka des All Blacks, and David After Dentist.

He also shares some wrestling flashbacks from the 80’s. The first match is between two teams Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson (his dad), and Andre the Giant and the Wild Samoans (his uncles) in a six-man tag team match. The second match Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka Vs. Muraco in a cage match (Jimmy Snuka does his famous leap from the top of the cage.) Classic WWF back in the 80’s.

The Hype 5-0 on America’s Best Dance Crew

The Hype 5-0 on America's Best Dance Crew

The Hype 5-0 was part of the list of dance crews that will be on America’s Best Dance Crew Season 5. They’ve tried to get on the show several times before. Looks like they made it this time. Here’s a little about the crew:

Driven to prove that Hawaii has a thriving hip-hop community, Hype 5-0 is out to show there is more to Hawaii than swaying grass skirts and coconut bras. With limited funds for travel, Hype 5-0 has honed their skills by spending countless hours on the Internet studying crews from the mainland. Now after conquering the island dance scene with imported moves this hard-hitting crew is ready to export themselves to the mainland and take America’s Best Dance Crew by storm. They have immense Hawaiian pride and incorporate native dance moves in all of their routines.

Look for the Hype on this Thursday, January 28, at 10p.m. ET/PT and 11p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
