It's only been a little more than a week since Nicki Minaj dropped the clip for her Chris Brown collabo "Right by My Side," but everyone's favorite Harajuku Barbie is continuing her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded takeover and needs a little help in selecting her new singles. On Thursday night, Minaj's website revealed three polls with various options from the sophomore effort.

With Roman Reloaded crossing hip-hop and pop genres, Barbz and Kenz have quite a few Minaj stylings to select as their ideal singles. While the first race is between the more mellow pop cuts on the LP ("Marilyn Monroe," "Fire Burns," "Young Forever" and "Gun Shot"), the second battle includes tracks that bring out the rapper's harder alter ego Roman ("Champion," "HOV Lane" and "I Am Your Leader"). In the last poll, head Barbie has pitted three of her dance anthems against each other ("Pound the Alarm," "Whip It" and "Va Va Voom").

Shortly after the website posting, Minaj also took to Twitter to urge Team Minaj to sound off in the fun, writing, "Take the poll!!! And leave your comments. Gonna read them now." At press time, "Marilyn Monroe," "Champion" and "Va Va Voom" appeared to have the majority of votes.

Barbz and Kenz have plenty of reason to be excited, as they've been flooded with a string of new singles all year long. Even before the LP hit stores, they were treated to the frenetic "Stupid Hoe," which saw the Young Money honey taking a cluster of jabs at Lil' Kim.

Strategically releasing cuts to appease her growing fanbase, Minaj went on to the album's lead single, "Starships," a RedOne-produced number that was clearly catered to the Top 40 dance craze. And as predicted, the magic worked when the song peaked at #5 on Billboard's Hot 100. Soon after, the femcee balanced out the pop tune with the release of her ode to strippers, "Beez in the Trap." Most recently, Minaj released the visual for her Chris Brown-assisted R&B jam "Right by My Side," which also features a cameo love interest by none other than Nas.

Regardless of the poll winners, Minaj is already performing many of the cuts on her worldwide Pink Friday Tour, which will hit the States in July. Laurieann Gibson, who serves as the raptress' choreographer, spoke to MTV News recently about the trek, revealing that it's something she's "really, really proud of."

"I love [when] I heard Roman Reloaded. I loved her delivery. I love the way she flows," Gibson told MTV News. "So the Pink Friday Tour is really good and it's kind of like a glimpse back to what a real rap show is. It's intimate but big at the same time."

Acer C120 Projector

While most micro-projector makers these days are trying to fit as many ports for different connectivity sources as possible into their products' tiny frames, Acer took the opposite tack with its C120 Projector ($299.99 list). This pico projector connects via USB?and USB alone?to a computer, emulating whatever's on your computer screen. In that respect it resembles some budget projectors we've seen such as the 15-lumen Ray LiteRay Lite ($159 direct, 3 stars), but the Acer is considerably brighter and easier to set up (though not necessarily to run).

The C120 is an LED-based DLP projector with a native WVGA resolution (854 by 480). Its rated brightness is 100 lumens, which puts it among the pocket projector elite. The only other 100-lumen pico projector we've reviewed is the Optoma Pico PK320 Pocket Projector ($450 street, 3 stars).

The C120 is a handsome little projector, black (glossy on top) and rectangular with rounded corners. It fits in my pants pocket, but just barely. I weighed it on our postage scale at 6 ounces; adding the power adapter brought the total weight up to just 13 ounces. The focus wheel is on the side, next to the lens, which I find preferable to it being in front of the lens, at least for avoiding obstructing the light path with a stray finger. The wheel, though, is very small, and I found it hard to bring the image to a precise focus.

The Optoma PK320 provides a much broader range of connectivity choices, including HDMI, VGA, and composite video. It can also run presentations from internal memory, a micro-SD card, or a USB thumb drive.

Installation and Operation
The projector can be powered either through an AC adapter or over a computer's USB connection. It comes with a USB cable that plugs into the projector with a USB 3.0 connector. It's a Y cable with 2 USB B-type plugs for the computer, so you can run power and data over the cable. You do take a hit in brightness when you power the projector over the USB cable.

When you plug the C120 into a computer's USB port, the projector installs a driver on your system. You have to agree to the installation by clicking the appropriate button in a pop-up window, each time you use the projector. I used the projector with 3 laptops, and was able to run it on all three. However, for one of them I could only get it running some of the time, and wasn't able to determine why it didn't consistently work. Also, regardless of which laptop I used, the USB connection seemed finicky and the connection was occasionally lost. Unplugging and the re-plugging the cables in resolved this for the most part.

When I'd install the driver, it would resize the laptop's screen to 800 by 600 pixels, closer to the projector's native resolution. One can then resize the screen through the Windows Control Panel; the projector supports resolutions of up to 1,280 by 800 and did okay at that resolution, though the image looked better at the lower resolution.

Testing
The projector threw an image about 6 feet diagonal to fill our test screen from about 8 feet away. Although it looked okay in the dark, it was somewhat degraded with modest ambient light, so I did most of the testing with the image size about 4 feet diagonal.

I found the C120's image quality fine for internal business presentations (such as to small workgroups). You could use it for road presentations in a pinch, if you can verify that it will connect smoothly to your laptop via USB?for this projector, USB is the only game in town. Colors seemed reasonably true; there were hints of the rainbow effect common to DLP projectors in which bright areas against dark backgrounds may break up into little blue-green rainbows. Focus seemed slightly soft, and text wasn't very sharp. Video quality was okay for running short clips as part of a presentation.

A USB-only pico projector?and the C120 is unusually bright as such?offers the advantage of low price and?at least in theory?simple setup and operation. Downsides are that it's not as versatile as a full-featured model such as the Optoma PK320, and it's a one-trick pony?if you have problems connecting via USB, you don't have any other options. (If the C120's driver doesn't load, rebooting the laptop will sometimes resolve it?though you wouldn't want to have to do that when you're time pressed and presenting to a small group while on the road.) You don't want to misplace the USB Y-cable, as cables with USB 3.0 plugs aren't as easy to find as the earlier cables.

If USB connectivity is all you're looking for in a pico projector, the Acer C120 may well be your model of choice. It's considerably brighter than the Ray Lite and other USB-only projectors we've looked at, and less expensive than fuller featured models.

COMPARISON TABLE

Chris Hemsworth Talks Thor 2 Villain

[UPDATE: Scroll Down to Find Out Which Actor Could be Playing the Villain in Thor 2.]

The glow of success is still shining bright around The Avengers?- but that doesn?t mean the cast of the film is getting any rest. Robert Downey Jr. is already into production on Iron Man 3 with writer/director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon), while Chris Hemsworth is already gearing up for Thor 2, this time under the guidance of?Game of Thrones director, Alan Taylor.

With the Iron Man and Thor sequels speeding down the pipeline, the superhero movie rumor mill is already churning with speculation and about what is coming in ?Phase 2? of Marvel?s Avengers?movie universe. While we know?Iron Man 3?will feature a story about a nanotechnological virus unleashed as a terrorist threat, Thor 2?has been something of a bigger question ? especially when it comes to the issue of the villain.

[WARNING!?AVENGERS?SPOILERS COMING!]

-

The Avengers?left off with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) being arrested by his brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and transported back to Asgard to face justice for attacking the Earth. Of course, one subplot of the Avengers?story was Loki?s partnership with an extraterrestrial ally ? one who warned him of the consequences he would face, should he fail to capture the Tesseract (cosmic cube). At the end of the film it was revealed that ally is classic Marvel Comics villain?Thanos, who has direct ties to the cosmic universe of Thor. With Loki having failed in his mission, some comic fans naturally assumed that Thor 2?would focus on Thanos attacking Asgard, looking for revenge against Loki and the tesseract, which is now assumedly stored in Odin?s vault (along with a few other?Marvel mystical artifacts of importance).

Thanos (with Infinity Gauntlet) vs. The Avengers

However, this is not the case according to Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.

Talking to MTV, Hemsworth claims that Thanos is NOT the villain in Thor 2,?as far as he can see. Here?s how MTV described the exchange:

We already know that Natalie Portman will be returning to the project to reprise her role as Jane, but will we also see a return of?Thanos? We won?t because, according to Hemsworth, he would be ?too easy.?

?We need a bigger fish,? the Aussie said with a laugh.

UPDATE: It seems that ?bigger fish? could be Clash of the Titans and the Viking film?Valhalla Rising ?star Mads Mikkelsen, whom Variety reports is currently in talks with Marvel to play the villain role ? which we?re guessing is not?Thanos (though that wouldn?t be out of the realm (get it?) of possibility). American moviegoers probably recognize Mikkelsen best as the villain hammering James Bond?s gonads in Casino Royale; the actor has had bit parts in several big franchise films, including the aforementioned Titans, and Paul W.S. Anderson?s recent Three Musketeers remake. We?ll be sure to keep a close eye on the situation as a deal between Mikkelsen and Marvel gets worked out.

Mikkelsen in 'Valhalla Rising'

Hemsworth also described how Thor 2 is shaping up in general ? and what it?s like working with Taylor, one of the minds behind arguably the hottest show on TV right now:

?Alan Taylor is directing, and he?s one of the producers and directors of ?Game of Thrones.? I love that sort of mythical element, that there was an organic real world there, and I think Asgard and Thor?s ethereal universe could be injected with that,? Hemsworth said. ?It could be more sort of tangible. So more locations, less green screen. I think the Viking influence that that sort of world came from. It should feel [tangible]. It should exist more, instead of too shiny, clean, golden.?

(We know many fans will be in total support of that idea.)

?You?ve always got to tie in Earth, I think. But Thor in the comic books, I found, that after the initial kind of establishing the character got more interesting because there were so many realms and things to explore.?

Hemsworth?s sentiment in that last sentence echoes our own discussions on the Screen Rant Podcast about Avengers 2?-?namely, that the Marvel movie universe will split in two directions: one based on Earth (like Iron Man 3) and one that concerns the larger cosmic universe.? I think I speak for a fair number of fans when I say that if we DON?T see more of the cosmic realm in Thor 2, it will be something of a disappointment (because Natalie Portman?s Jane Foster is NOT an adequate?conciliation?prize).

Do we really need more of THIS?

Of course, Hemsworth himself had to admit that he hasn?t seen the script for Thor 2?- by Don Payne (Thor) and Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan, Falling Skies) ? and neither have we, for that matter. Given the big success of The?Avengers?(and the surplus in money ? part of which has already been funneled into Iron Man 3), the Thunder God?s sequel is a picture that could ultimately take a different shape than initially expected.

Thor 2?will be in theaters on November 15, 2013.

Mitt Romney "Day One" Ads Preview Presidential Goals

Mitt Romney's "Day One" ads, outlining what he'd do in his first 24 hours on the job, sure make it sound like he'd be a good President of the United States.

But are they realistic?

Some things he promises in the TV spots, such as expediting the Keystone pipeline and ending Obamacare, he probably could do, or at least play a major role in.

Others, such as lifting job-killing regulations and lowering the unemployment rate, are more nebulous. It's easier to run for President than to be President.

Watch the ads below and see what the Republican's presidency would look like ... or at least how he envisions it in an idealized campaign commercial.

Arianna Huffington: Sunday Roundup

This week, Facebook went public with the third largest IPO in history. On the downside of the ledger, Moody's downgraded more than three-dozen Spanish and Italian banks, and JPMorgan's trading losses zoomed past the original $2 billion estimate. On the political front, a pro-Romney super-PAC's plan to disentomb the Reverend Wright scandal made headlines. Some might question the wisdom of those backing a candidate who is an elder in a church known for magic underwear, baptizing dead people and a belief that Jesus visited America making religion a campaign issue -- but in a world where single-mom Bristol Palin shamelessly moralizes about the value of kids "growing up in a mother/father home," all bets are off. The controversy prompted Romney to deliver the quote of the week, saying of his stance on Reverend Wright: "I'm not familiar with precisely what I said, but I stand by what I said, whatever it was."
