Ghostbusters 3?

Yesterday, Dan Aykroyd, while standing in what appeared to be a liquor store and wearing a T-shirt advertising tequila, told a reporter there were “two sharp young writers” working on a screenplay to relaunch the Ghostbusters franchise. And, astonishingly, it’s true! Last night, Variety confirmed that Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, co–executive producers on the most recent season of The Office, are writing a script “designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson” in some capacity.

Apple admit Brit invented iPod, but he’s still not getting any money

Apple has finally admitted that a British man who left school at 15 is the inventor behind the iPod.

Kane Kramer, 52, came up with the technology that drives the digital music player nearly 30 years ago but has still not seen a penny from his invention.

And the father of three is so hard up he had to sell his home last year and move his family to rented accommodation.

Now documents filed by Apple in a court case show the US firm acknowledges him as the father of the iPod.

The computer giant even flew Mr Kramer to its Californian headquarters to give evidence in its defence during a legal wrangle with another firm, Burst.com, which claimed it held patents to technology in the iPod and deserved a cut of Apple’s £89billion profits.

Dead’ father turns up on TV – five years after his family thought they had cremated him

There was something hauntingly familiar about the face John Renehan saw on television.

He was certain that it was his father, who had officially been found dead and was cremated five years ago.

Yet there before his eyes on the screen was his father, in a care home and the subject of an appeal on a show about missing people for anyone who knew him to come forward.

‘I sat down in shock. I was sure it was him straight away,’ said Mr Renehan, 42. ‘You know when it’s your father. We look the same and have the same characteristics. It was like looking in the mirror.’

He contacted police and four weeks later DNA tests confirmed that the man he saw on the TV screen is indeed his father John Delaney, now 71.
Father and son have had an emotional reunion and an inquiry is under way to establish the identity of the mystery man for whom Mr Renehan organised a cremation in 2003.
