| 5 Uplifting & Inspiring TED Talks You Should Listen To Posted: 11 Dec 2014 06:00 AM PST  Everyone these days needs some inspiration, when times are tough and spirits are low. Since the beginning of time, speeches have inspired soldiers, motivated voters, and sent a jolt through the heart of the apathetic. Who wasn’t inspired by Churchill’s “we shall fight them on the beaches” or Kennedy’s “ask not what your country can do for you…” or Russell Crowe’s “what we do in life echoes an eternity” (oh wait, that was the “Gladiator” movie. Well, it was still a good speech though). If you are a talk/speech junkie, then TED is pretty much the place to go to....

| Craving Some Material Design? Download These Great Android Apps Posted: 11 Dec 2014 05:00 AM PST  After all the predictable speculation about new features, discussions about troublesome bugs, and complaints about unsatisfactory upgrades, Android Lollipop 5.0 is finally here. Most (if not all) Nexus phones now have received their over-the-air update, and the other major manufacturers are either mid-rollout or about to start. One of the biggest selling points about Lollipop is its design overhaul. Gone are the dark tones and electric blue effects, replaced with the use of ample white space, smooth transitions, and grid based layouts — branded as “Material Design”. The fresh approach is designed to give users a consistent look and feel... Read the full article: Craving Some Material Design? Download These Great Android Apps  |
| Motorola Nexus 6 Review and Giveaway Posted: 11 Dec 2014 04:30 AM PST  The latest entry in the Nexus line of reference devices comes with a steep, $650 price tag. Along with its Apple-like pricing, the Nexus 6 sports outstanding specs, the latest version of Android and touchless controls – but does the ginormous phablet size and premium price warrant a purchase?
