Dell to upgrade unshipped Alienware orders to Ivy Bridge CPUs for free

Are you among the Alienware buyers who plunked down cold, hard cash for a new M14X, M17X, or M18X preceding the launch of Ivy Bridge, but can't stomach the thought of being stuck with Intel's second gen CPUs? Good news, gaming friends, because if your laptop was ordered, but hasn't yet shipped, Dell's doing you a solid by upgrading the chip automatically for you. Best part is, the company will swap in "comparably-priced" new silicon for free, which leaves you to spend your money elsewhere to prep for your forthcoming Diablo III launch party.

Beastie Boys founding member Adam Yauch, a.k.a. MCA, died Friday (May 4) at age 47 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer. The MC's death quickly spread across the Internet, and the tributes that flooded Twitter showed the impact his music had on artists from all areas of entertainment.

"Crushed to hear the news of Adam Yauch's passing," Justin Timberlake tweeted. "A true pioneer of art. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.#RIPMCA"

He's not the only member of the pop world feeling the loss: The Ryan Tedder-led band, OneRepublic, also expressed their shock over his death. "R.I.P Adam MCA," the band wrote. "Beastie Boys remain untouchable."

DJ Steve Aoki expressed his sadness, writing, "Ahhh man... rest in peace to the one and only MCA. wow. terrible news."

"Rip MCA," the Backstreet Boys chimed in. "Our thoughts are with you and your family. #BeastieBoys4Life."

Given how influential the band had been across all genres and their own roots in rock, the reaction has been overwhelming in the rock-and-roll community. "Rest In Peace Adam Yauch /MCA," Blink-182's Travis Barker tweeted. "4ever somebody i looked up to & had the pleasure of meeting. Damn this bums me out, we lost one of the best."

Fellow drummer Chad Smith, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, added, "Wow, lost another brother..sail on MCA."

Jimmy Eat World tweeted, "We're very saddened by the passing of Adam Yauch. RIP MCA. You'll be missed." They also tweeted a link to the Beasties' track "Gratitude," from their 1992 album, Check Your Head.

"We're sad to learn about the death of MCA," Linkin Park tweeted. "Our condolences to the Beastie Boys and Adam's family."

On top of his music, Yauch had also become a film director and producer over the past decade, so Hollywood felt the loss as well. "RIP Adam Yauch," director Kevin Smith tweeted. "You made my teenage years more fun and your art made it easier for me to do what I do. For a Beastie, you sure were a beaut."

"RIP Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys). He was a super-genius, a visionary and, most importantly, a really good person," Rainn Wilson noted.

"Rest in peace Adam Yauch," Marlon Wayans added. "Beastie Boys were always the 'coolest whiteboys' when I was growing up. They erased color lines the opposite way."

Uber Feels The Brotherly Love, Begins Testing Its On-Demand Car Service In Philadelphia

I use Uber all the time when I travel, and it's always sort of a bummer to come back home knowing it'll be weeks before I get to ride in another Uber towncar. Well, that's thankfully no longer the case -- according to a new post on the company's official blog, Uber has just soft-launched in Philadelphia and now has a small crew of their tell-tale black cars cruising around the city. And I do mean small -- a quick look at the app tells me that at time of writing, there are only two Uber cars currently available to ferry around folks around Philly. As is the usually the case for Uber, they intend to use their so-called "secret phase" to collect data about demand for the service in the city in preparation for a larger-scale launch down the line.

Octomom: Bankrupt!

Nadya Suleman is officially insolvent. Like for real broke.

Octomom filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy today in federal court, just one month after going on welfare. Apparently public assistance didn't go far enough.

The bankruptcy filing confirms what we pretty much already knew - that the mom of 14 is carrying a mountain of debt she has no hope of paying off.

Chapter 7 is the most serious form of bankruptcy, so although it isn't specified in public records how much Octomom owes and to whom ... it's clearly a lot.

And she's flat broke. Her house, which was in such horrendous condition last week that police investigated her for child endangerment, will be auctioned off.

Suleman has struggled with her finances for years, which isn't a big shock if you do the quick math: 14 kids + 0 jobs + 0 partner = deep financial crap.

It's all very sad, and begs the question ...

Should her kids be taken away?

Richibrown Organic Natox has just been launched to provide the cosmetic industry with a quality Botox alternative. Natox was created and works on the same principle as Botox but without the use of any injectable substances. Botulinum toxin injections are often considered as an unpleasant anti-wrinkle method but many people resort to it because of its effectiveness.

Natox manufacturers claim that this new anti-wrinkle cream can work as a Botox alternative and it can offer:

• Improved skin texture
• Reduction of deep wrinkles
• Elimination of fine lines
• Younger looking appearance
• Easy application ? just like any other face cream
• A natural product without side effects
• Affordable price
• Fast visible results
• Increased production of collagen

Although Organic Natox is a new product on the market, several ageing celebrities used it privately as a Botox alternative in the past. Natox has been the secret anti-ageing weapon of Hollywood stars and according to their testimonials, this anti-wrinkle cream gave them a younger and fresher look without wrinkles and fine lines.
