I am quite sure that many of us have heard of the age old proverb, that “good things come to those who wait”. Those who happen to celebrate the Lunar New Year will know that red is an auspicious color, so you would see plenty of red clothes being worn, not to mention at some homes, red cloth that adorns the doorpost to usher in luck, prosperity and good fortune for the rest of the coming year. Having said that, I am quite sure that the red Nexus 5 that has finally arrived on Google Play has nothing to do with the Lunar New Year, but rather, the time is just ripe for it to happen. The first red Nexus 5 device is now available on Google Play, and another milestone is achieved – this is the first Google phone that will arrive in a trio of different colors – and they are, red, white and black.
First launched in October last year in a partnership between LG and Google, the Nexus 5 has picked up its fair share of praise and bouquets, coming across as a stylish, high-performance Google phone. The Nexus 5 was (and still is) powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, where it is accompanied by a stunning 5-inch Full HD IPS display with Android 4.4, KitKat, the latest version of the Android OS, as the mobile operating system of choice..
Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, shared, “The Nexus line has always been about doing things differently and consumers who share this philosophy have been our most loyal fans. We’re carrying this thinking over to the red Nexus 5, which we think will catch the eye of consumers who want to make an even bolder statement.”
If you are interested in picking up the red Nexus 5 for yourself, you can do so on Google Play from this month in the U.S.,Canada, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Korea, while wider availability will happen across Europe before February is over.

Yes, This Is an HDTV
Posted in: Today's ChiliIf there’s one thing that today’s flat-screen TVs have led to is a lack of the sort of unique designs that CRTs used to offer. I suppose this is a good thing, as HDTVs are designed to focus our attention on the image itself. That said, if you’re looking for a TV that looks different than all the others, check out this retro-style set from Seiki.
The bright red Seiki Digital SE22FR01 set is a full 1080p, 22-inch display, but it looks like an old TV from the late 1960s or early 1970s. The set offers all the modern conveniences, including inputs for HDMI, component, composite and VGA devices, and a remote control. And since the display has a chubby case, it’s got room inside for a better speaker than typical small HDTVs, with a built in 20-watt Yamaha subwoofer. Naturally, it’s got an old-school power switch and a volume dial.
You can get your hands on the Seiki retro-style HDTV from Amazon for $199.98(USD).

It’s always fun seeing how huge-budget Hollywood films were shot, and what equipment they use. SetLife magazine created a list of just what cameras and lenses were used on each film nominated for 2014 Best Picture and Best Cinematography nominees. It’s not without some surprises.

Chris Martin and Bono played a duet on a $1.6 million piano, Jenna and Barbara Bush worked the room, and a computer was sold for $977,000. Though Vanity Fair contends that Jony Ive and Marc Newson’s Sotheby’s auction on Saturday was “unlike the typical Sotheby’s auction,” it still sounds like pretty typical rich people stuff to us.

Say what you will about Apple’s business practices, but its philanthropy work is hard to discount. Cupertino has raised over $65 million for Product Red’s fight against AIDS since 2006, the charity tweeted today. The announcement comes from the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where the male half of Bonoprah took the stage, commenting that the tech giant “is certainly leading the crew” in terms of donations to the effort — something that should speak much louder than a broken click wheel ever will.
