Justin Bethel, NFL Draft Prospect, Shows Off INSANE Vertical


Justin Bethel, a defensive back from Presbyterian College and NFL draft hopeful, may never make it to the pros - but at least he's made an awesome viral video.

Prepping for workouts he hopes will earn him a spot on an NFL team next fall, the football star was caught on video jumping onto boxes five feet into the air.

That's a vertical leap of 60 inches. Yes, six-zero.

Bethel is a pretty legit player, too. He was named Big South Defensive Player of the Year, recording 87 total tackles with 3.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, a forced fumble, three blocked kicks, four interceptions and a punt return touchdown.

Athletic, competitive and versatile, while possessing strong character, motivation, intelligence and work ethic, some scouts say he could be a draft sleeper.

Here's hoping, if only for more clips like this.

AnTuTu pegs Galaxy S III as most powerful Android device, potentially reveals its specs

AnTuTu pegs Galaxy S III as most powerful Android device, potentially reveals its specs

Ah, the Galaxy S III. We always knew it'd be a keystone among Android smartphones, but according to the AnTuTu benchmark suite, it'll be the one device to rule them all. While there's no way to verify whether this test is indeed legitimate, all Android users may currently peep the AnTuTu app, which not only shows the smartphone as having bested the mighty Transformer Prime tablet, but it also reveals the most comprehensive set of specs we've yet seen for the Galaxy S III -- again, take this with a grain of salt. The device is said to wield a Samsung Exynos 4212 SoC with a dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM and a 4.7-inch, 720p HD display. This lines up similarly with the product listing from Amazon Germany, as the specs also reveal a 12 megapixel primary camera on the rear, along with a 2MP shooter on the front. No big surprises for the OS, which is listed as Android 4.0. Should the benchmark tests turn out to be legitimate, the HTC One X will no doubt have some very stiff competition.

Update: Samsung has revealed the 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad as the basis for its next superphone.

LG's 5-inch Optimus Vu shipping soon in white (in Korea, at least)

white lg optimus vu smartphone

Just under two months after LG's Optimus Vu got priced for the hometown market, in flies news that another hue will soon be on those very same shelves. The 5-inch, 4:3 ratio'd Android smartphone will soon hit South Korea in white, purportedly targeting the "younger" market -- you know, folks who like "cool" things (LG's translated words, not ours). Folks can look for the device -- which should remain unchanged outside of the external color -- to hit SK Telecom as early as next week, but there's no word on when (or if) it'll spread to other markets.

Tim Cook tells competitors to invent their own stuff ? Apple is not the world?s developer

Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked during Apple's Q2 2012 conference call how he felt about ongoing patent litigation, and whether he might be more open to a settlement or resolution than his predecessor, Steve Jobs might have been. Cooks answer was pretty much the same now as it was before he became CEO -- he doesn't like litigation, but he also doesn't like other companies using what he feels are Apple innovations to sell competing products.

An Anti-Catcalling App Is a Silly Way to Waste $20,000 of Government Money [Sexism]

Nobody likes sexism or the obnoxious jerks who jeer women walking down the street. But there's a pretty good chance that New York's new $20,000 "research" investment in an app to report offending males might not be the best way to do something about it. More »

Demi Lovato Speaks on Illicit Drug Use: I Could Have Died


A couple weeks ago on Twitter, Demi Lovato bared her true face.

Now, in the pages of British magazine Fabulous, the singer is baring her soul.

Demi Lovato in Fabulous

In one of her more honest interviews to date, the 19-year old goes into detail about her pre-rehab drug use, telling the publication:

"I was depressed. I would come offstage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I'd come crashing down and would try to find a way to re-create that feeling, to stay 'up.'"

And you might be shocked to learn who fueled Demi's habit.

"Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs," she said. "They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass."

Lovato, of course, entered a treatment facility in November 2010 and has talked since about her emotional and physical issues, citing an eating disorder and bi-polarity. But this is the first time she's really discussed any kind of substance abuse.

"Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says 'no'. That's why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me."

Instead, thank God, Demi has bounced back and her career is going strong. She performed last month on American Idol.
