Windows 8 launched yesterday worldwide. I don’t have any details on what people have experienced at this point but it’s said this is Microsoft biggest update ever. The above image gives us a real idea of what W8 starting page looks like. Also, Windows 8 will work across all Windows devices exactly the same. Meaning, if you have a Windows smart phone, tablet and computer you will use the same operating system in all of them (you will bee seeing the same start page). If you want to find out if Windows 8 will work for you click HERE.
Last Friday Futura stopped in Miami for the release of his Hennessy V.S. bottle collaboration. The bottle released a couple of months earlier in New York. Futura is not new to Miami. His works have been permanently here since the opening of the Wynwood Walls. Hennessy hosted a very special Lunch at Wynwood Kitchen. After lunch local artist Sant Love gave us a tour of the Wynwood Walls.
Thanks Hennessy, Futura and Wynwood Kitchen for such a great event.

Today the Miami HEAT got to finally celebrate with their fans. Downtown Miami closed streets and re-routed traffic for the much anticipated Miami HEAT parade! Fans came out from everywhere. The traffic was crazy; however, the love for the HEAT was in the air! Congratulations Miami HEAT!
To my dislike, the Super Dj group Swedish House Mafia is going their separate ways… They announced on their site this will be their last tour.
**Billboard
The trio of Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello headlined the first night of Coachella 2012 in April, and late last year the trio sold out a one-off Madison Square Garden show just a year after its first official single release, “One” – which was followed by only five more singles. But along the way, they captured the imagination of young dance fans worldwide unlike any other DJ-based act in history, particularly in the U.S.
From its inception, SHM was never set up to release albums or tour formally. “Swedish House Mafia comes last,” manager Amy Thomson told Billboard in April 2011. Its members were still primarily interested in supporting their solo careers. As such, SHM’s global multi-rights partnership with EMI was inclusive of more than music from the outset, allowing its partners to pull in alternate profits from merchandise, DVDs, and events like its Masquerade Motel festival in Miami, which each drew over 15,000 people in 2011 and 2012.
Still, as of the MSG show in December 2011, it seemed like SHM was going to make a go of it. They left Thomson, who had masterminded their fan-focused marketing approach and strong brand identity, to link up with management company ThreeSixZero, a subsidiary of the powerful RocNation. A global partnership with Absolut Vodka, launched in March, yielded one of those six singles, “Greyhound,” a music video, TV spot and media campaign featuring the trio. But the group reportedly left ThreeSixZero and returned to Thomson earlier this month.
The website announcement lists three “tour” dates: Milton Keynes Bowl on July 14, listed as their last U.K. show; a residency at Ushuaia in Ibiza, running weekly from July 4-August 29; and a November 24 show at the Friends Arena, in Sweden. “The final leg of this journey will be announced in August,” the site also promises, perhaps alluding to a set of U.S. farewell shows.

Stephen A Smith has always stuck by Lebron James; however, Skip Bayless has been a prominent critic against Lebron. In this funny video by Dj Steve Porter Stephen has a few words for Skip.

In true Miami fashion, the MIAMI HEAT including Lebron James and Dwayne Wade partied at LIV Night Club inside the Fontainebleau Hotel after the much anticipated victory.
I don’t know if they were trying to say something but they spent $200,000 (not confirmed) which makes almost double of what the Mav’s spent last year when they won.
Last night LIV was featuring Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano but I’m sure they knew what was in-store if the HEAT won and they did. Dj IRIE, Miami HEAT’s official Dj took over and LMAFO who’s scheduled for tonight did their thang…

Here is a look at Nike’s first TV spot in commemoration of Lebron James first NBA Championship ring.
**Via Nike
To honor one of LeBron’s finest career achievements, Nike launched a new campaign that celebrates the determination and perseverance needed to win a championship. The TV spot, which debuted immediately following Miami’s victory, acknowledges what LeBron has known his whole life – that destiny is earned, not given.
Since his rookie season in 2003, LeBron has been on an epic journey – a journey of expectation, success, challenge and ultimately victory. Nike’s spot chronicles those memorable career moments which have molded LeBron and fueled his motivation to succeed.
The story is told through a jeweler who begins working on a championship ring when LeBron is a young phenom, crafts it over the highs and lows of LeBron’s first eight years in the league, and then finishes it just in time to be delivered for the 3-time MVP’s first championship.
The spot launched globally after Miami’s closeout game and continues to run via digital and social media networks around the world.**
Nike keeps things new and fresh and who in the right mind would say no to them… This time they took over the legendary Miami Beach French sandwich shop “La Sandwicherie.” Not only did they change their sign but also did a temporary menu.
By the way if you haven’t experience their sandwich dressing and crunchy tasty French baguettes you really need to take a moment and stop by. Their service is superb and you wont regret it. I recommend the Delta Force sandwich.
Nike also dropped gold basketballs throughout different spots in Downtown and Wynwood.

The story it’s being written as we speak, Dwayne Wade is definitely not the same player he used to be. Lebron James is carrying the whole Miami Heat on his back. Ok, what can we do? Nothing. Do we have anyone in our bench better than him right now? No… As painful as it may be Wade might be done… We need Wade to show up and play, he hasn’t been producing enough…
Is he hurt? Well, that we will never know. Coach Spo is not the type to make excuses for his players… Is he done? That’s something I don’t know but one thought that keeps haunting me is the fact that we may have already seen his best days… I truly hope not…
Russell Westbrook keeps taking him to the hoop! We need someone to help Lebron consistently… At one point we thought that Miller would be of some kind of help but it hasn’t happened. Miller is playing hurt… It hurts me to see him on the floor… He looks in pain all the time…
What is the answer right now? I don’t know but I sure hope Dwayne Wade whom I really think is a great guy comes out ready to play or at least don’t shoot so many jumpers. Specially if he isn’t making them…
Tonight we need a win! LET’s GO HEAT! Game time at 9 PM on ABC check your local networks for exact channel.
