Justin Bieber is ready to be your "Boyfriend." The singer will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway on Thursday (May 3) to premiere his highly anticipated music video for the single during "MTV First: Justin Bieber" live at 7:50 p.m. ET on MTV.

After the video premieres on air, Bieber will chat with Sway for 30 minutes on MTV.com, opening up about the Director X-directed clip, as well as his June 19 album release, Believe. But that's not all: If you have a burning question for Bieber, you can get in on the fun by commenting below or tweeting @MTVNews with the hashtag #MTVFirst or #AskBieber.

Immediately following the premiere, the "Boyfriend" video will be available on MTV.com so Beliebers can watch it over and over and over again.

"Boyfriend," the lead single from Believe, was co-produced and co-written by Mike Posner and Mason Levy. The track stormed radio and the charts back in March, reaching #2 on Billboard's Hot 100.

Bieber was spotted in Los Angeles last month shooting some scenes for the video. He was photographed kissing a brunette who looked a lot like his real-life lady love, Selena Gomez, and was also driving some high-end muscle cars.

"The reaction's been great [to 'Boyfriend']; not only have I got good reactions from my fans, but great reactions from people who, you know, [might not usually listen to my music]. I've gotten messages like 'You know, I never would have listened to Justin and now I love this song,' " he told MTV News about the track. "So it's really great feedback."

While Bieber rides solo on "Boyfriend," he's enlisted a number of his A-list pals to appear on Believe, including Usher, Kanye West, Drake and perhaps even Lil Wayne. Just last week, Bieber dropped the artwork for the album, which features a close-up of the pop star's face and the collar of his studded jacket.

Don't miss the "Boyfriend" video premiere Thursday, May 3, at 7:50 p.m. ET/PT on MTV during "MTV First: Justin Bieber," followed by a live Q&A with Justin himself on MTV.com!

Watch as a DIY 8-bit computer comes together, learn something in the process

We've actually already seen one completely home-built 8-bit computer but, while Jake Eisenmann wasn't afraid to show off his creation, Kyle Hovey is actually inviting us along for the ride. The project started up last week when Hovey gathered his first batch of parts and a pair of books and started designing a simple 8-bit computer based on the SAP-1 architecture (SAP stands for Simple as Possible). The transistor-transistor logic (TTL) design is slowly coming together and every step of the process is being documented by Hovey on his blog so that others may follow along and learn from his experience (and, most likely, his mistakes as well). For more details on this rather impressive project, and to monitor its progress, check out the source.

BBC's Planet Earth returns as a live simulcast next week -- but not in the US (video) (Update)

BBC's Planet Earth returns as a live simulcast next week -- but not in the US (video)

For fans of HD and / or nature documentaries, the BBC Planet Earth series is the unquestioned champion, and to provide a proper followup the Brits are improving it the only way they know how: doing it live. What the broadcaster calls its "most ambitions global wildlife series ever" will air simultaneously in 140 countries (more on that bit later) starting Sunday May 6th, then every Thursday and Sunday for three weeks. The plan is to track animals in seven different locations around the world in real time as they struggle for survival and broadcast it all in HD. One segment features Top Gear's Richard Hammond following a pride of lions across southern Kenya, while another will track black bears in Minnesota. The bad news? If you're in the US or Canada you're not on that 140 country list and won't be seeing any of this live. We're not sure if there's time to make this a campaign issue in the 2012 presidential election but we figure that, or at least bugging BBC America (while we're on the subject -- where's our global iPlayer?) is worth a try. Check after the break for a press release with all the details on where and when it is airing, as well as a trailer.

Update: While we won't be getting the live simulcast, BBC's Paul Deane dropped in a comment below noting it will air the next day on National Geographic Wild retitled as 24/7 Wild. We haven't located a program description yet, but there's already listings in the schedule starting May 7th -- schedule your DVRs accordingly.

This Stunning Electric Bike Is Like a Jet Fighter On Two Wheels [Desired]

This is the ZecOO, an electric motorbike that can reach 75mph with a range that goes from 55 to 85 miles. No bad at all. But what I really like is its weird, anime jet fighter aesthetic, from its retro-futuristic profile to the extruded gauges to its front suspension. More »
