Of course, I’ll be rooting for Manny Pacquiao, but how about you? Do you think Pac-Man will prove too much for the Hitman when they meet on May 2 (May 3 in Manila)? Or will Ricky Hatton prove Freddy Roach wrong?
Hatton, after all, was irked by Roach’s prediction that Pacquiao will win in three rounds.

From my latest CNET Asia blog post:
I’ve been following the tweets of Mike Massimino, one of the seven astronauts who will take part in the Hubble servicing mission. Massimino will be onboard the space shuttle Atlantis, which is set to launch on May 12. Massimino has been using Twitter to keep people updated on his training and the Hubble service mission.

It was bound to happen.
Eager to take advantage of all the attention being poured on the new Internet sensation Susan Boyle, more than 30 sites have been set up by cybersquatters, guardian.co.uk reports.
Here’s an excerpt from the news story.
While Boyle does not have an official web presence herself, according to research conducted by the web domain company Sedo, fans and cybersquatters have registered sites in her name across Europe and the US and in seemingly unlikely countries such as Turkey.
The domain name SusanBoyle.co.uk was registered on 10 April and put together quickly as a fan site.
Meanwhile, pop singer Cyndi Lauper has urged Boyle to accept a role in an upcoming movie.
Cyndi Lauper says it would be “fantastic” if British singing sensation Susan Boyle accepted an offer to be in a planned film starring the U.S. pop singer and actress Tippi Hedren.
Susan Boyle, at 47, became one of the world’s hottest celebrities virtually overnight after her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent” this month with the clip already viewed around 50 million times on YouTube.
Not everyone, however, is enamored with Boyle, as shown by the Boyle backlash.
Over at The Huffington Post, Rachel Thebault declared: I Just Don’t Get the Big Deal with Susan Boyle.
Oh, in case you’re one of the few people who haven’t seen the Boyle performance yet, watch the YouTube clip.
How about you, what do you think of Susan Boyle?
