Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime leaks appear…again
So, the leaks just keep on coming and today @evleaks, probably the most reliable source ever, posted to their twitter account:
Samsung SM-G906, the “Galaxy S5 Prime” for Korea, to come in five colors: black, white, gold, blue, and sweet pink.
Now you might not know @evleaks, but normally when they tweet about an upcoming device, they are spot on. Ok, so we know the colors, check! How about build quality? Metal, hopefully! Global launch? Korea then U.S., please! Specs? It’s already decked out!
There are still alot of questions up in the air, but one thing is for sure, a Galaxy S5 Prime will release sometime in the near future. Keep on watching and we’ll keep on updating!

Time to get motivated with Lift- Daily Motivation [App of the Day]
Everybody needs that push to do things they don’t always want to do. Pullups, pushups, drinking a gallon of water, no carbs in the evening, and meditating are things that can be extremely beneficial to you, and Lift would like to help you do them every day or on a consistent basis.
Lift- Daily Motivation is a simple app that contains many goals you can choose from to get started with, and put a check mark next to the ones you complete each day. Each goal is designed to start slow and progress as you do, creating a very fulfilling experience. The main goal in this app is to complete tasks in as many consecutive days as possible.
Lift also allows you to find and follow friends to see what their goals are and get some ideas. The notifications on Lift are nice in the fact that they remind you to do certain things throughout the day. For example, I was sitting around doing nothing in the afternoon when I hear my phone’s notification chime to tell me “This is an easy one if you have some time to spare, let’s Meditate for 5 Minutes.” because I had not completed that task today. Very nifty, in my opinion, and it never was annoying or intrusive.
There’ something for everyone within this app, even if you aren’t a fitness junky or spiritual person. After trying Lift, however, you might just become one!

Bentley Ad Shot Using iPhone 5s, Assembled on iPad Air [iOS Blog]
Bentley’s newest ad, Intelligent Details, was filmed entirely with Apple’s mobile devices. Photographers used the iPhone 5s to shoot video and then put it together using an iPad Air, according to details provided on the making of the ad at the end of the spot (via The Loop).
Shot in New York, a quick behind the scenes look at the black and white film on the $300,000 Bentley Mulsanne reveals that it was filmed with an iPhone 5s, using specialized lenses, mounts, and cases to produce high-quality video on par with far more expensive camera equipment.
The short video was then assembled using an iPad Air and the iMovie app with an attached custom keyboard case. Much of the editing was done on the go in the back of a Bentley, showing the mobile capabilities of Apple’s devices.
Bentley’s ad is the newest spot to be filmed using Apple tools, but it’s far from the first. Back in 2013, Burberry announced a partnership with Apple that saw it shooting an entire Spring/Summer 2014 runway show using nothing but the iPhone 5s ahead of the phone’s launch.
Searching for Sugar Man, a documentary that won an Academy Award back in February of 2013, was also partially shot using an iPhone.
Boca Raton’s most expensive home has Star Trek and Call of Duty-themed rooms
As much as we love Star Trek, we’ve never thought about modeling our home after the USS Enterprise. But then, we’ve never had $35 million in our back pocket, so what do we know? A mansion in Boca Raton has gone on sale for that eye-watering figure, boasting a bar and cinema based on the NCC 1701-D bridge, complete with security desk and pastel brown seats. The property is being sold by businessman Marc Bell, who decked the property out with a Star Wars-themed lounge and a Call of Duty-inspired games room. When you’re done geeking out, of course, you can relax in the well-appointed gym, full-sized basketball court, or just relax with the home’s 1,500-bottle strong wine cellar. Don’t worry, we’ll bring the corkscrew.
