New iPad vs iPad 2: App launching and web rendering speed test
The new iPad has a dual core Apple A5X processor with quad core graphics, compared to a dual core Apple A5 processor with only dual core graphics in the older iPad 2. The new iPad also has twice the RAM as the old iPad 2. However, the new iPad also needs to throw around 4 times as many pixels as the old iPad 2 -- 2048 x 1536 as opposed to 1024 x 768.

Although summer blockbuster season is still a few months away, the lucky fans making the trek to WonderCon this weekend in Anaheim, California, will be getting a very special sneak preview of a few of the summer's most-anticipated films.
The annual comic book, sci-fi and fantasy fest kicked off Friday (March 16) and continues through the weekend with an action-packed schedule of events that include panel discussions, artist meet-and-greets, costume competitions and, of course, movie previews. MTV News will be making the trek down to the Con for a full day of preview presentations and interviews with some very special guests. Here's a quick preview of what to expect from the studios and films scheduled to appear at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday:
20th Century Fox: "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Prometheus"
Fox will debut exclusive new footage and the stars and filmmakers from two of the most buzzed-about films this year at the Con. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is the tale of one of America's most beloved historical figures reinvented as a vampire-killer, and star Benjamin Walker, director Timur Bekmambetov and writer Seth Grahame-Smith will be on hand to discuss it. "Prometheus" marks the highly anticipated return of director Ridley Scott to his "Aliens" origins, although the extent of which we are unsure because the film is shrouded in secrecy. Sir Scott will be joined by screenwriter Damon Lindelof and stars Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron.
Universal: "Snow White and the Huntsman" and "Battleship"
First-time feature director Rupert Sanders will present a never-before-seen reel of footage from "Huntsman" alongside star Charlize Theron.
"I'm going to present a piece that I've cut specifically for WonderCon, a five-minute piece that is very different from anything else that's been seen," Sanders told MTV News recently. "We made our announcements at Comic-Con and just over a year later, it's been a quick turnaround on this project, so it's going to be nice to go back to WonderCon this time and show them an original piece, tailored specifically for them."
Fans will also get an exclusive look at new footage from "Battleship," presented by director Peter Berg, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard.
Sony: "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Looper," and "Resident Evil: Retribution"
Sony is set to get your Spidey sense tingling with a sneak peek at new footage from director Marc Webb's interpretation of the web slinger's origins as portrayed by Andrew Garfield. Webb will be joined by star and current "it" girl Emma Stone. Fans will also receive a first look at the intriguing sci-fi thriller "Looper," in which time travel is utilized by hired killers. Writer/director Rian Johnson will make an appearance with star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays a young version of Bruce Willis' character in the film. Sony is also sending up a sneak peek of the latest installment in the "Resident Evil" franchise, "Resident Evil: Retribution," with director Paul W.S. Anderson and star Milla Jovovich.

Justin Bieber Basketball Movie Will Be 'Worth The Wait'
'We're waiting for the script ... it's a bit of a process having the script written,' Mark Wahlberg tells MTV News about movie's progress.

<P>In addition to delighting us with his surprise appearance at <a href="/news/articles/1680866/sxsw-mark-wahlberg-seth-macfarlane.jhtml">Seth MacFarlane's SXSW panel</a> and our scheduled interview afterward, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/166010/personmain.jhtml">Mark Wahlberg</a> told MTV News Sunday that while his basketball movie with <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> has not officially been green-lit yet, the storywriting is already in full swing. </P><P> </P><P><center><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:748100/cp~id%3D1680857%26vid%3D748100%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A748100" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></center> </P><P> </P><P>"We're waiting for the script," Wahlberg said when asked for an update on the anticipated film. "Waiting for the script. Every time I see [Bieber] or Scooter [Braun], I have to explain to them that it's a bit of a process having the script written." </P><P> </P><P>Wahlberg emphasized that they want to make sure that the script is as good as it can be before they move forward into production. </P><P> </P><P>"It certainly [has to be] something that's good enough to go and have green-lit and make right away," he said. "But I think it will be well worth the wait." </P><P> </P><P>From what "The Fighter" star and <a href="/news/articles/1680191/justin-bieber-birthday-fan-questions.jhtml">recent birthday boy</a> have said about the film, they're developing a basketball movie in the vein of "The Color of Money" in which Wahlberg will play a weathered baller who takes a younger player (Bieber) under his wing. </P><P> </P><P>Wahlberg has said that his <a href="/news/articles/1676492/mark-wahlberg-justin-bieber-basketball-movie.jhtml">intuition</a> is a big reason why he pursued the project with the pop star. </P><P> </P><P>"I'm pretty intuitive," he said. "I see the guy and spent time with him, and you see what he does and how he does it, and then you actually have a conversation with him, and it's there." </P><P> </P><P>Bieber has hinted that he hopes to fit a film project into his busy schedule this summer, though he didn't specifically say which film that might be. </P><P> </P><P>"What's happening is: get off this tour, and then my [holiday] album's coming out, so I have to go back out and promote that album ... and then after that ... it's almost time for my next album, so then everything starts over again," <a href="/news/articles/1672884/justin-bieber-new-movie.jhtml">Bieber told us</a> last fall. "Hopefully, next summer I can start on a movie or something."</p>

Getty Images CEO On Building A Company That Lasts [TCTV]
Some people are surprised when they find out that Getty Images is just 17 years old -- its brand name has become such an institution in the image licensing and stock photography space that many people assume it's been around for decades longer. But starting in 1995 just at the dawn of the Internet age does make it a veteran in many ways, compared to its much younger peers in the web photo space. So we were pleased to have the chance to interview Getty Images' co-founder and CEO Jonathan Klein while he was at the South By Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas this week to get his insights on how his company has grown up until this point and where it is headed in the months and years to come.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/31rTi7YlpXo/
