“To be performing and nominated at this years VMA’s is completely amazing and especially for the song ‘Dog days.’ I recorded that song in a cupboard with no instruments and the sound of the drums was me banging my hands on the wall, clacking pens on Mpc’s and generally causing a cacophony with anything I could lay my hands on.,” said Florence + The Machine. “For this song to be recognized at such an iconic event is a total dream. For me ‘Dog days’ symbolizes apocalyptic euphoria, Chaotic freedom and running really really fast with your eyes closed. I hope to somehow encapsulate those things in my performance at this years VMA’s. I would also hugely like to thank everyone at the VMA’s for giving me this opportunity.”

Antonio Garcia, a former Goldman Sachs number cruncher, decided to up and leave for the brighter sky on the West Coast, in order to found his startup company. After getting established, he wrote a little retrospective comparison of both places for tech startup companies, ending up practically humiliating New York in the process.

2 days to go...grabe yourself a camera!!!! Lets incubate!!!!

First photos of Cristiano Ronaldo's Baby!

Although the baby wasn't heavily guard by 6-feet gorillas, the paparazzi couldn't quite get a clean shot in, but in our opinion here at Incubator HQ, they caught a glimpse at his future.

These pictures were taken a gas station in the Algarve, where Cristiano Jr. was accompanied by his grandmother Dolores Aveiro, her boyfriend and a hired nanny.

Cristiano Sr., however, was on his own schedule, arriving in the Algarve hours after his firstborn was seen on his way to Lisbon.

His feet already make him look like a striker ready for action! Could he be Portugal's next world-famous football star?

Disclaimer: Although the probabilities are extremely high at this point, these photos are not officially confirmed yet.
