Hasta La Gadget!

I’ve always been surprised at how many phones HTC puts out every quarter. Even HTC admitted to this last year. Their new flagship smartphone is something different. It’s supposed to mix the best features of iPhones and Samsung Galaxies into one potentially killer smartphone.

The HTC One features a sexy aluminum unibody with chamfered edges. It has a razor-sharp 4.7-inch full HD 1080p screen, a 4 MP rear-facing camera, a 2.1 MP front-facing camera, dual speakers powered by Beats Audio, and LTE networking. The processor is a zippy 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, and the phone also has NFC, GPS and compass sensors, 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 4.0, and either 32 or 64GB of onboard storage, which is good in my book. Its battery packs 2300mAh, and the phone has a micro-USB port with MHL support, which means you can connect it to an HDMI port – with the proper cable.

While the 4MP camera doesn’t sound like much on the surface, but HTC says that the actual size of the sensor is larger and it creates much more detailed pixels using their new “Ultrapixel” technology. The end result is a camera that can capture 300% more light than other phones.

The phone runs Android Jelly Bean, hidden beneath a new version of HTC’s Windows-esque Sense UI. Expect the HTC One to start showing up sometime in late March, though an exact release date and pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but the phone will be available in North America on the AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint networks, and HTC is offering a $100 cash-back offer to early adopters who trade in their old phones towards an HTC One.

We’ve arrived in Catalonia’s capital city, where snow, apparently, has marked the start of this year’s Mobile World Congress. That’s right, the hills surrounding this typically warm Mediterranean metropolis have been blanketed in a thin layer of flurries, but we’re nonetheless optimistic about this week’s smartphone show in Barcelona. As MWC 2013’s massive new venue begins to take shape, we’re preparing to deliver the hottest hands-ons, directly from Fira Gran Via. Some manufacturers, such as HTC and LG, have already demoed their latest handsets, and other devices have made an early debut, but there’s plenty of excitement still to come, as you’ll discover in our show preview. We’ll be sharing our liveblog lineup in a few hours — for now, it’s time to bookmark our event page, and check back often throughout the next week.

Forget about the birds and the bees, with the £9.99 Birdie Swing Tea Infuser that comes in either a lime or purple color shade, you have the birds and the teas. Yes sir, the name of the Birdie Swing Tea Infuser more of less gives the game away, where it will certainly inject a whole lot more “soul” into your everyday tea drinking experience. Dunking a tea bag is far too boring, so to spice things up, fill the Birdie Swing Tea Infuser with your favorite blend of tea leaves, steep it in hot water, and be patient for a while before taking a sip of the beverage.

The bird itself will look as though it is singing, “Happy days are here again!” while sporting the tea leaf blend of your choice, and we are quite sure that while you take that sip of tea during the afternoon, feasting on freshly baked scones and some strawberry preserve with cream on the side, you are as close to heaven as it gets here on earth.

The "Let’s Move" initiative and fitness competition marked its second
anniversary in February, 2012 when First Lady Michelle Obama invited
talk show host Jimmy Fallon to the White House. Starting with a race up
the White House staircase, to push-ups, the challenged stepped it up
with Tug of War, Hula Hoops, Dodgeball and even a Potato Sack Race,
accompanied by the motivational anthems of "The Eye of the Tiger" and
"Chariots of Fire." Even the first dog "BO" got into the act.

Stress can make us press forward without recognizing the wall, but the quality of the work suffers because we no longer see the project with clarity. The “walking away point” is the moment we become aware of this wall and we make a choice to shift our attention, in order to detach from the stress, onto something that allows us to relax and open up our perception of what we are doing.
