Nicklas Bendtner is detemined he can prove to Juventus coaches Antonio Conte and Angelo Alessio that he is deserving of a place in his starting lineup after finding himself on the fringes since his move to Turin. The Dane, who has only made one appearance off the bench during his loan from Arsenal that extends until the end of the season, told Tuttosport , "I do not regret choosing Juventus, it was an easy transition to make and everyone at the club has made me feel welcome. I am very happy in Turin, it is a wonderful and ambivalent city.  "It's my wish to remain here after my loan finishes, but I must first prove myself, and to do that I need to play." Bendtner will be looking to score against Italy to reignite Denmark's World Cup qualifying campaign, and after he netted in his country's 1-1 draw with Bulgaria, Alessio, who had his ban for match-fixing reduced to the point that he has served his time, may be faced with a dilemma of whether t...

The 2012 Esquire Sexiest Woman Alive is Mila Kunis . The "Ted" star, who is dating Ashton Kutcher, is following in the footsteps of Minka Kelly and Rihanna, both who received the honors in the past. Monday, EOnline posted a weekend wrap-up on its site reporting, among other things, the milestone in the "Black Swan" star's career. The "Sexiest Woman Alive" for Esquire magazine dons only a pair of skintight leather jeans and a doe-eyed look on the November cover. Mila Kunis, on the inside, keeps the barely-there theme going. Kelly is suddenly on the Hollywood radar for 2012. The "Ted" actress has a mix of movie jobs lined up for 2013 and it doesn't hurt that she is romantically involved with Ashton Kutcher. That gossip topic is enough to keep her relevant for a while. Mila Kunis, despite the Esquire magazine title, appears to be down-to-earth and has not allowed her celebrity to change who she really is on the inside.

Sunday evening's showdown at Camp Nou in La Liga, which ended in a pulsating 2-2 draw, saw Messi and Ronaldo face off for the third time this season. Who came out on top in the personal duel? Here's a reminder of how the two players are scored: If there is little to separate the two players in a round they will be scored 10-10. A narrow win in a round, where there are no goals in the match involving the pair, will produce a 10-9. If Messi scores a goal in a round, and Ronaldo doesn’t, the Argentine will win that round 10-8. If Messi scores twice, and Ronaldo doesn’t, he will win 10-7. The same system is used for assists and for winning a penalty. So if in a round, Ronaldo creates a goal and wins a penalty (without taking the penalty), while Messi does nothing of note, then Ronaldo wins that round 10-7. A yellow card results in a one-point deduction. A dive in the penalty area or just outside that is penalised by the referee will lose a player a point to...

You've probably never heard the name Kristy Ross before, but we're willing to bet you're very familiar with her work. You may have even given her money. For the last five years (at least), Ross has been flooding the internet with pop-up ad after pop-up ad, all claiming that your computer — yes, yours specifically — is infected with viruses . That's illegal, and it turns out the law has finally caught up to her: The Federal Trade Commission has just fined Ross a staggering $163 million dollars for her crimes. The infamous fake computer scan ads encourage you to download "free" anti-virus software under the names Winfixer, DriveCleaner, FreeRepair, WinAntivirus, WinAntispyware, or System Doctor. Once you're hooked by the fraudulent warning, the advertisements redirect you to a page trying to sell you anti-virus software for $40 to $60 a pop. According to the government, "more than a million" were victims of Ross's scam. And g...

  Barcelona midfielder Xavi has stated that netting a hat-trick in Sunday's Primera Division match at home against arch-rivals Real Madrid would be a dream come true. The 32-year-old has won numerous trophies both at club and international level, but still awaits his first hat-trick, and he sees the Clasico as the perfect opportunity for yet another milestone. "Is there something I have left to do? Scoring a hat-trick... I would be delighted to score one against Madrid," Xavi smiled at a press conference. "We're not really thinking about whether a win would worsen the problems in Madrid's squad. We are focussed on winning, which would be good for our morale." The influential playmaker then went on to discuss the situation of injured players such as Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal, who is continuing his recovery from a liver transplant earlier this year. "At this moment, there's a 50 per cent chance that Piq...

A year after founder Steve Jobs' death, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is continuing on the trajectory that the late founder had in place for years, with its highly-coveted consumer products that are getting into more hands around the country, while the company makes subtle shifts and the occasional misstep. Over the past year, Apple's stock is up almost 80 percent to over $671 after introducing the iPhone 5 . Though the new phone sold over 5 million three days after its launch, some analysts were disappointed with the volume of orders. Here Are Four Ways Apple Has Changed Since Steve Jobs' Death: 1) Apple has become more shareholder-friendly. Bill Kreher, senior technology analyst with Edward Jones, based in St. Louis, said Apple's issuance of a dividend to shareholders is a change in philosophy from that of Steve Jobs. "His philosophy was to hoard the cash," Kreher said. Part of Jobs' reluctance to dip into cash might have been his "lo...

Nigerian players John Obi Mikel, John Utaka and Victor Moses have been announced in the long list of 34 players that will compete for the African footballer of the year title of the Confederation of African Football on Thursday evening. Mikel has been nominated based on the strength of his winning the FA Cup and Champions League with Chelsea. Utaka won the French Ligue 1 with Montpellier while Moses was nominated based on his performance at Wigan where he helped the club to escape relegation. The Nigerians will be contesting against the usual suspects - Cote d'Ivoire's Didier Drogba, reigning African king Yaya Toure, Gervinho, Arouna Kone, Cheick Tiote and Seydou Doumbia. Reigning African champions Zambia have four players on the list: Christopher Katongo, Stopilla Sunzu, Emmanuel Mayuka and Rainford Kalaba. Three Ghanaians Andre Ayew, Kwadwo Asamoah and Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu make the list while there are two Cameroonian representatives in Alexander Song and Ni...

[More from Mashable : The iPad Mini Will Have 3G [REPORT] ] Apple 's Asian suppliers have started mass production of the smaller version of Apple's iPad tablet, the Wall Street Journal reports. Two sources claim the iPad mini -- as it may or may not be called -- will have a 7.85-inch screen with a lower resolution than the current iPad model. [More from Mashable: Fake Apple Discount Card Wants to Steal Your Personal Info ] The device's screen is made by South Korea’s LG Display company and Taiwan’s AU Optronics , claim WSJ's sources . Why Apple would launch a smaller iPad , when Steve Jobs maintained a 7-inch tablet screen would be too small? Well, a heated competition from Android-tablet makers and a more affordable price point compared to the standard, 9.7-inch iPad, are two solid reasons. As is usual with Apple rumors , none of this has been officially confirmed in any way, shape or form. Still, the rumor mill predicted even the date when this ne...

Microsoft ( MSFT ) will reportedly launch its Xbox Music service on October 26th and will make it available free of charge,  The Verge reports. The streaming service will be offered as either a free ad-supported model or a subscription-based plan similar to the company’s Zune Music Pass, which is available for $10 a month or $100 a year. Xbox Music won’t just be limited to Microsoft’s gaming console, however, as the service will also be available on Windows Phone and Windows 8 .  Another key part of the service will be its integration with Microsoft’s SkyDrive that will allow users to store music and playlists in the cloud.

Manchester City are ready to turn their attentions to Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal after missing out on Roma 's Daniele De Rossi this summer. Manager Roberto Mancini is a huge admirer of the Chile international but the Premier League champions may have a fight on their hands with Juventus reluctant to sell one of their key men. "Mancini loves this guy to death and has briefed owners about him,” a source told Goal.com. "There was talk last summer Tevez or Dzeko might have been involved, but Juve wanted silly money." The 25-year-old has already attracted the attentions of Real Madrid after impressing in his first season with the Serie A champions following his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, meaning City could be set for more transfer frustration. As exclusively revealed by Goal.com back in August , the Premier League champions chased De Rossi this summer and were ready with a £31 million offer only for the player to snub the chance of a move to...

Rumor has it that "American Idol" producers are hoping that some juicy feuding between new alpha-female judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj will bring in ratings for Season 12. And now, months before Season 12 even starts, a video has already "leaked" depicting a blowup between the two loud ladies during this Tuesday's Charlotte, North Carolina, auditions. It's probably far from the last such TMZ-obtained video we will see before a drastically different "Idol" returns to the air in 2013. In a seemingly scandalous new fly-on-the-wall clip just posted by TMZ , a pink-wigged and dirty-mouthed Nicki is shown going off on her former "Up Out Of My Face" duet partner, shouting, "If you've got a f***ing problem, handle it!" She also yells, "I told them, I'm not putting up with her f***ing highness over here. I'm not gonna sit here every f***ing minute to have you come down and harass me every minut...

Enlarge Photo We're not certain it is coming this month, but we might as well get ready now because "people with knowledge of the situation" claim Apple suppliers have started production of a "new tablet computer smaller than the current iPad,"  . At 7.85-inches, compared to the current 9.7 inch iPad models, that sounds like . We can't fully trust these mysterious unnamed sources, per usual, but at the end of August  "confirmed" (again with some anonymous whisperers) that Apple would hold a separate event in October to announce the littler iPad . October is now, and we have yet to get an invitation, which usually comes out about a week before go-time. But, say they will come one week from today on October 10. As it's only the beginning of the month, we will continue to mentally and  prepare to hold a shrunken down iPad 2.  RELATED: Other than timing (soon) and screen-size (smaller), the rumormongers haven...

You'd have a hard time finding an iPhone user who's in love with  -- which is exactly why Google is showcasing a new set of upgrades for its Maps app on Android . Veteran tech writer Walt Mossberg on Android and sang its praises. What's more relevant to iPhone devotees, though, is a little news nugget he buried in his review. On Thursday, Google will add Street View functionality to the web-based version of Google Maps on iPhone and iPad.  RELATED: Let's think of this little upgrade as a cheeky reminder from Google to Apple users that the search giant is still peerless in certain realms. Sure, there are a lot of maps apps out there, and even Tim Cook that Google's web-based solution is a good alternative to the new, flawed Apple maps. "While we’re   Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on y...
