Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin will, thank God, be hosting New Year’s Eve on CNN once again. The network announced Thursday that the duo are gearing up for their sixth Times Square party, which airs on Monday night.
We can only hope that Griffin swears on air and tries to undress Cooper, as she has done before. The two chatted on Thursday about their plans for the night — though it was mostly just Cooper laughing.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A person familiar with the penalty says the NFL has fined Panthers quarterback Cam Newton $21,000 for abusive conduct toward a game official.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the league hasn’t announced the fine.
Newton shouted at and bumped referee Jerome Boger in the fourth quarter of Carolina’s penalty-plagued 17-6 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

Synchronoss Technologies has acquired Research in Motion‘s NewBay cloud mobile content service. The deal was sealed for the sum total of $55.5 million in cash, and was closed just a few days ago. By nabbing NewBay, Synchronoss hopes to dominate the world of cloud mobile content services while increasing its international presence.
Specifically, Synchronoss hopes to give itself a boost in the international market via NewBay. Although NewBay has offices in Seattle, it is based out of Ireland. By acquiring the service, Synchronoss has gained access to NewBay’s myriad of Europe-based customers, such as Swisscom and Vodafone. These are on top of its already existing US customer base, which includes Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, among others.
Synchronoss’s Chief Executive Officer Stephen G. Waldis offered this statement. “By adding NewBay’s technology assets and millions of subscribers, this transaction further establishes Synchronoss as the clear leader in providing cloud based mobile content services for mobile operators around the world. By combining our strengths, Synchronoss will deliver the most comprehensive, scalable and secure cloud platform, and we will significantly expand our early market share leadership position.”
The service works by allowing customers to store, access, and share content with mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. The addition of NewBay will give Synchronoss access to NewBay’s various offerings, including its copyright, antivirus, and protection from illicit content capabilities. Synchronoss plans to provide expanded financial details of its NewBay acquisition during its 2012 Q4 financial conference call.

Arguably the straight to DVD release of the smartphone world, BLU Product’s Vivo 4.3 is getting a second act in the form of the Vivo 4.65 HD. Aside from the 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display it’s named after, this up-and-comer ships with Android 4.0, a 1.2GHz A9 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. If you can get past less than stellar specs — and resist waiting for the Nexus 4 to be back in stock — BLU’s future flagship can be yours outright for $300 sometime in January.
