SoundShare Shares Your Music with Friends, Helps You Discover New Songs and Artists [Video]

SoundShare Shares Your Music with Friends, Helps You Discover New Songs and Artists iOS: SoundShare is a new iPhone app that makes it very easy to share songs you enjoy with your friends, start conversations around them, and peek in on what your friends are listening to in an unobtrusive way that encourages conversation instead of intrudes on their privacy.

Music discovery apps and services aren't too difficult to come by, but SoundShare is a little different. Once you're signed up and you have the app installed, SoundShare lets you play songs in your music library and go about your business knowing that the app is keeping track of the songs you're listening to. If you hear something really like, you can post it to Twitter and Facebook. You can also explore other users' music streams, leave a comment, or add them to your friends list. If someone's listening to something you might like, you can tap the song to preview it yourself.

SoundShare is a stand-alone social network, and while you can post your songs to Twitter and Facebook, it's not automatic and it's not required. The app reminds us a bit of previously mentioned Rexly, only with more focus on sharing a running list of songs you enjoy with friends. SoundShare is free, and available now in the iTunes App Store.

The Steve Jobs biography sells 379,000 copies in the U.S. (Digital Trends)

Even though the Steve Jobs biography did not out sell the iPhone 4S in its first week on the market it still had a very good week. In the U.S. alone Walter Isaacson?s book sold 379,000 copies at around $35 each. After only six days on the market the book has already become the 18th bestselling book of the year.

The Biography out sold the second most popular book by more than three copies to one. The range expands when compared to the second most popular non-fiction book of the week, Bill O?Reilly?s Killing Lincoln which it outsold nearly eight to one. Due to the books popularity there were already movie rumors within the first week of its release.

The biography, by request of the Jobs family, pulls no punches and aims to paint an honest picture of Jobs even if that means it isn?t flattering. There are numerous revelations in only the first few chapters alone, and there are countless amazing stories straight from Jobs about the company he helped create. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has already responded to a few quotes from Jobs aimed directly at Gates.

Having reached the 18th spot on the bestseller list in just six days it is pretty safe to assume that it will break into the top ten by the end of the year. The question becomes does it have enough time left in the year to become the number one book of the year?

Artist returns to gallery where she gave birth

Marni Kotak gave the performance of her life when she gave birth to baby Ajax in a New York City art gallery turned home birthing center last week. Now they're back.

"It's exactly how I wanted it to be," Kotak said in an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, her first since giving birth. "Most of the people hung around for hours holding the baby, talking about the experience together and getting food and other supplies that we needed" until she went home.

The 36-year-old performance artist delivered the healthy 9-pound, 2-ounce baby boy at the Microscope Gallery on Oct. 25 in a performance she described as the "highest form of art."

The birth was the climax to an installation that began on Oct. 8. It saw Kotak talking to visitors in a bedroom setting surrounded by her most treasured objects: Her grandmother's bed, where baby Ajax was conceived; a bright green chair in which she was rocked as a baby; videos and photos of her other performance pieces, including re-enactments of her grandfather's funeral and her own birth.

It wasn't weird to give birth in front of the respectful and quiet gallery visitors, she said.

Story: Performance artist gives birth to baby boy in gallery

"I had met them all ahead of time and got to know them a little through our conversations in the gallery," she said. "They were sincerely interested in the project and really supportive of the process."

Kotak, an artist whose performances focus on everyday life experiences, said she had been in and out of the gallery in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood between Friday and Saturday, then returned Monday to continue being part of her exhibit. She and the baby will be there daily until the installation closes on Nov. 7.

She said she is being visited by about 20 people a day, the same number who came to see her deliver Ajax in a birthing pool.

Gallery curator Elle Burchill said new features include the birth video and a large artwork by Kotak's husband, Jason Robert Bell. Kotak said the finished work incorporates the placenta, umbilical cord, and blood tissue.

Blood-stained pillows and sheets are now also part of the installation.

For her next project, Kotak plans to write a memoir of her first year as a mother that she may later present in an installation-type exhibition.

She said she was surprised by all the media attention her "Birth of Baby X" project got but happy with people's positive response to it.

Kotak said she and Bell will share the details of the birth with their child "over time as an organic process," communicating that by being born in an art gallery they were telling the world his life is a precious work of art.

Kim Kardashian Files For Divorce

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries said "I do" in an elaborate, very public ceremony over the summer, and now comes word that the reality starlet and her basketball player hubby are calling it quits just 72 days after tying the knot.

TMZ reported that Kim filed for divorce from Humphries on Monday (October 31), coincidentally the scariest day of the year. Sources told the site that Kim is not seeking an annulment and cites "irreconcilable differences" as the cause for the split.

The couple reportedly have a prenuptial agreement and celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser has been tapped to represent Kardashian. According to TMZ, the pair's $10 million wedding cost approximately $138,888 a day as of October 31. A rep for Kim had not responded to MTV News' request for comment as of press time.

However, Ryan Secreast, who produces the reality star's E! shows, confirmed the news on Twitter, writing, "Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins."

The news comes as several tabloids have been reporting on Kim and Kris' marital woes. Kardashian and NBA player Humphries married on August 20 in California in a lavish ceremony in front of friends, family and E! cameras. "The dresses were so gorgeous, and watching those beautiful girls walk down the aisle ... they are absolutely stunning," guest Julianne Hough gushed to MTV News after the ceremony. "To just see them walking down the aisle was just beautiful. And then little Mason, Kourtney's little boy, he kind of stole the show."

The beginning of Kris and Kim's marriage will be documented on the second season of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," which kicks off on November 27. In previews for the show, fans have gotten a peek at the short-lived marriage. "How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?" Kim asks Kris when he suggests they move to his hometown. His response? "Baby, by the time you have kids and they're in school, no one will probably care about you."

The Day After Raw: Your Tweets for Nov. 1, 2011

When the WWE Universe rang the WWE doorbell on an All Hallow?s Eve edition of Raw SuperShow, the treats were aplenty and the tricks ? well, amid Monday night?s masquerading and Muppets, those sort of backfired on The ?Awesome Truth.?

It?s the day after Raw. Let?s see what you thought ?

Sheamus related to Beaker?
Bushwhacker cousins Luke and Butch are officially no longer the most oddball relatives to appear on WWE. The chance crossing of paths between Sheamus and meek Muppet Beaker led to the revelation that their resemblance is no coincidence. When the indiscernibly squeak-talking Muppet struck up a conversation in the locker room, The Celtic Warrior demonstrated his ability to ?speak Beak,? expressing his regret to be missing an upcoming family reunion then sufficiently teasing the tall red tufts atop the Muppet?s head. Looks like Edge was right about ?The Great White? and his roots all along. (WATCH)

Spiky ginger hair, milky complexion. You know this ?Aunt Teresa? of theirs must be one pretty lady. Yep.

@king_raiden: #raw sheamus and beaker r related? lol XD

@Smalls0629: @WWE Beaker meets Beaker! (If you remembered the 900th episode of Raw, you got that) #Raw

@kizayfizabe: Edge was right.. Sheamus and Beaker are related #WWE #raw

@RyanD427: Hmmm.. The Sheamus skit with Beaker was awesome. I could definitely see the family resemblance #RAW

@BobbyMitchellDX: I thought that was pretty cool that Sheamus showed Beaker how to take care & spike his hair #WWE #RAW

@mylandro_: @WWE If not that, can we at least see Beaker and Sheamus as a tag team? Pass it onto Teddy, he loves him some tag action. #wwe #raw #muppets

@JeanneLouise418: @WWE #Raw: Sheamus and Beaker, separated at birth? #MuppetsOnRaw #MeepMeep

@theNEWaltruist: @WWE Did Beaker really just interfere in a match?! Arquette must also be walking out with the belt tonight... #RAW

@notoriouseddie: Beaker for WWE champ! #raw #IWantWrestling #TeamBeaker

@AdamOB96: Did Sheamus just tell Beaker to 'Take Care, Spike Your Hair'??? @ZackRyder @WWE #Raw

The Rock responds to John CenaThe Rock says ? yes!
Never before, never again. Partnering up for the first and last time, John Cena and The Rock have formed the most charismatic tag team in WWE history. And it all went down at the start of Raw SuperShow with The Great One?s address in which he first seemed to deny (with a vehement ?hell no!?) then embrace Cena?s request for Survivor Series.

While the WWE Universe?s curiosities are high for the pairing?s ability to coexist prior to their clash at WrestleMania XXVIII, one man who was noticeably angered by the announcement was The Miz, one-half of Rock & Cena?s opponents on Nov. 20. In an exclusive WWE.com video capturing footage of what you missed during the commercial break on USA Network, the awesome former WWE Champion rendered a strongly worded statement to the returning Brahma Bull.

Sticks and stones, Miz. And after his showing in the final moments of Raw, he?ll need to step up his game because some members of the WWE U. don?t believe The Awesome Truth stands a ghost of a chance.

@Shaheed17: @WWE #RAW Something has got to give at survivor series since Cena and Rock don't like each other! Those two are like up and down. No Mix!

@XtremeRKO_: The Rock & Cena in survivor series!! never before.. never again!! #WWE #RAW

@_BigBossPaul_: The Rock... The great one returns to in ring action Nov 20 in msg for survivor series and I'm going to be there. WWWYKI #RAW

@StraightEdgeIAm: The 25th anniversary of #SurvivorSeries is already huge. Cena & Rock vs. Miz & Truth. Oh boy. #RAW

@BROCKGUFFMAN: So Cena took out both R Truth and Miz ..why does he need Rock?.. #raw

@Shaheed17: @WWE #RAW Something has got to give at survivor series since Cena and Rock don't like each other! Those two are like up and down. No Mix!

AJ dressed as Kitana from Mortal KombatDivas in disguise
While Eve was the clear-cut winner of the No. 1 Contender?s Diva Halloween Costume Battle Royal, it was hard to pick out which Diva?s costume was most impressive. In action, AJ?s slightly shorter rendition of Mortal Kombat?s Kitana couldn?t quite ?FINISH HER!? opponents, but WWE fans tended to at least dig her ninja-like disguise. The video game theme was hot on Monday night with The Bellas under the mustaches of Mario and Luigi. The sisters failed to get the 1-UP in time before both were tossed out of the battle ? mamma mia! ? and dispatched like Joker and Penguin by the Boy(ish) Wonder, Robin (a.k.a. Eve).

Missed to costumed competition? Watch the footage of the bout that earned Eve a future Divas Title Match, then be sure to catch the exclusive interviews with the Halloween femme fatales, plus a photo gallery featuring them in their All Hallow?s Eve gear.

@JessiJ116: Holy halloween Batman! Robin is the number 1 contender #WWE #Raw

@littleinz: Aj on #Raw dressed as Katana made me laugh so hard! She's the best diva by far!!!

@to81fan: A Pirate, a Sailor and Robin? That?s a weird Justice League... @WWE #RAW

@Gokubob: AJ Lee Katana that is great #RAW @WWEgames

@NimeshMSagar: Diva Battle Royal. Love those costumes, especially the Bellas dressed as Mario and Luigi. #RAW

@uni_fof84: Don't know about you, but the Super Mario Bellas got my vote! #WWE #Raw

@RaccoonFrenzie: I love Eve's costume of Robin, but where is the batman. :\ @WWE #Raw

@BennettBrand504: @EveMarieTorres can be the Robin to my Batman anytime ;) @WWE #Raw

R-Truth dressed in "Scream" costumeR-Truth cast for ?Scream 5??
What do John Cena and Neve Campbell have in common? No, they?re not both Canadian. West Newbury, remember? Nah, they?ve each conquered a certain masked madman with malevolent intentions. In a ?Scream? costume, R-Truth ? who we?ll refer to as ?Ghostface Killings? to make the Wu-Tang Clan reference ? took a stab at foiling the Cenation leader?s main event clash with The Miz. (WATCH)

At first, the WWE Universe thought that perhaps a fellow WWE fan had let the spirit of Halloween get to their head, but by the time the ?Scream?-faced foe felt the fury of an Attitude Adjustment, it became quite apparent that it was all a Billy Loomis-esque plot of The ?Awesome Truth? and, more importantly, there?d be no sequel to this horror show, much less at Survivor Series.

@Bill_Baconhill: It's Old Man R-Truth! And he would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling CeNation! #wwe #raw

@ViperAaron: R-Truth stole my costume @WWE #Raw

@andyhou10: Scream 4 would have been the greatest horror movie of all time if R-Truth turned out to be the killer #Raw

@FearlessRiOT: Nice of R-Truth to dress in the most played-out Halloween costume in history in order to try to cost Cena his match. #WWE #RAW

@d_rocks01: R-Truth auditioning for the next Scream movie. Little Jimmy beware. #RAW @WWE

@aWWEknowitall: you cant scream me!" #RAW @WWEUniverse @WWE

@tHE_EnigmA19: @JohnCena camo and a scream mask? Now we really can't see you! #Raw

@GoldenAmber1: Wow scream just got 100 times sexier thanks to @JohnCena @WWE #Raw

@grich92: @WWE scream isn't pg is it #Raw

@x3MEGANyo: Omg I thought the person in the scream costume was a random person lol how crazy would tht hv been. #ItWasJustRTruth... @wwe #raw

Random Raw ramblings

@THEGlamFan: OMG @RealKellyKelly kissed Kermit - she went after another girl's man, so unclassy! She deserved a major karate-chop for that! #RAW

@agitpopblog: Is CM Punk wearing a Big Trouble in Little China t-shirt? Nice. #raw

@SoufCentrol: supercena is running out of powers?

@FunkMonkv1: Cody bagged Kermit LOL #WWE #RAW

@Gr8scott: OMG ITS FOZZIE, SORRY @IAMJERICHO @WWE #RAW #SMACKDOWN

@submarine_racer: @CMPunk I'm already training my thumb to click the remote every time I see Nash next Monday on #RAW.

Share your voice with the rest of the WWE Universe on Twitter by using #RAW and check back next week for the another edition of The Day After Raw.

Apple reportedly acquires C3 Technologies, iOS Maps overhaul on the horizon?

Last we saw of C3 Technologies' 3D mapping software it was making an appearance on Sony Ericsson's X10, but if 9 to 5 Mac turns out to be right, its next stop could be the iPhone. According to the publication, Cupertino recently scooped up the Saab spin-off and C3 execs have since been working closely with the iOS division. Earlier this year, Apple posted job listings, looking for developers to "radically improve how people interact with maps and location-based services." On a related note, the outfit previously acquired Poly9, a web-based mapping company. So is the fruity one looking to up its street (navigation) cred? Is it finally ready to give Google Maps the boot? We'll just have to wait and see.
