LG Watch Urbane Price News: New Smartwatch Could Be Most Expensive In The Market

Christian Post Report – The device’s circular display and really crisp colors make it stand out compared to brands.

LG Announces Their New Luxury All Metal Smartwatch, The LG Watch Urbane

However, all these features come with a price.

According to a report by TechnoBuffalo, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will not come cheap, retailing at 650,000 Korean Won, or approximately $588.

If this pricing detail is spot on, then the Watch Urbane LTE smartwatch would be more expensive than most midrange, and even a few high-end smartphones.

In the report, the LG Watch Urbane LTE will boast a 1.3-inch display with 320 x 320 resolution, a powerful Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM for multitasking capabilities.

Other specs include 4GB of built-in storage, a 700mAh battery, and LG’s own take of Android Wear.

Completing the features list for the device are a stainless steel body, a heart rate monitor, SIM support, and LTE connectivity.

While the “regular” LG Watch Urbane is already available in the US through AT&T, it is still unclear whether the LTE-capable edition would make its way overseas as well.

Christian Post Report – Fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will be tuning in for the reunion show as they hope to find answers to the following questions: Will Kim and Kyle settle their differences and restore their relationship as sisters? Will Brandi be lashing out at Lisa Vanderpump or Kyle or any of the other ladies that she has issues with? And will Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna be back for another season after all the craziness that they experienced during season 5?

In a new promo for the Bravo hit’s reunion show, Brandi’s dating life is going to discussed by the other housewives. It can be recalled that while they were in Amsterdam, Brandi went on a date with a younger man who knows Lisa V. and her family. In the video, Brandi admits that she got intimate with him and that they’ve been talking online and he wants to come to the U.S. to visit her.

However, Lisa V. claims that the same guy told her something very different, and here is when tension starts to build in the studio. She also said that it was unbecoming of Brandi to be with someone so much younger than her.

Brandi is not thrilled with this as she immediately lashes out at Lisa and accuses her of wanting the guy for herself. The ladies then turn on Brandi for what they think is a low blow.

That’s not all the drama that will happen on the reunion show as Lisa Rinna took to her Bravo blog and wrote that the reunion was “a nightmare of epic proportions, like a roller coaster you were trapped on for 10 hours”. A few weeks ago, some of the housewives took to social media to post that this season’s reunion show was the hardest and most exhausting so far compared to previous seasons.

Watch “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion show on Tuesday, March 31 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Dragon Age Inquisition ‘Jaws of Hakkon’ DLC Release Date for PC, Xbox One; No Launch Date for PS3 and PS4 Yet

The third game in the “Dragon Age” series, “Dragon Age: Inquisition,” received its first DLC called “Jaws of Hakkon” on March 24. The DLC release was limited to selected consoles, particularly the Xbox One and the PC.

Christian Post Report – YouTube screenshot of the Jaws of Hakkon trailer.

The game’s developer BioWare said that because of an exclusivity contract with Microsoft, they could not announce when the DLC pack will be available for the Sony consoles, particularly the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4. The contract restricts them for a limited time only, and according to a report in GameSpot, the developer’s general manager Aaran Flynn assured that it will be coming to other consoles soon.

According to another report in IGN, exclusivity contracts such as these usually last for 30 days, so the report says this may be the case for the “Jaws of Hakkon” DLC. Bioware said that they cannot even say how long the exclusivity deal will run. The developers also expressed a little concern about “boycotts.” 

“I hope no one boycotts the purchase, as it’s a pretty fun adventure that will be available on all platforms,” Flynn told GameSpot.

The report also said that Bioware hopes to make additional announcements about the PS4 release next week. What is up in the air is if the developer will make the DLC available for older consoles such as the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

The “Jaws of Hakkon” DLC is the first DLC pack for the game since it’s released in November 2014. According to the game’s wiki page, it will “reveal the last Inquisitor and the powerful dragon he hunted.” A new playable region called Frostback Basin becomes available which is said to be covered in mountains and lush forests, “where danger lurks in the shadowy undergrowth.” Players will be able to get new armor and weapons and will “unearth an ancient secret that could destroy the world.”

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Air Date, Plot News: Peter Dinklage Reveals A Major Storyline Spoiler (VIDEO)

“Game of Thrones'” actor Peter Dinklage inadvertently let slip a major spoiler for season five of the award-winning epic miniseries, which returns to HBO next month.

Christian Post Report – Dinklage, who plays witty and sarcastic Tyrion Lannister on “Game of Thrones,” just released a big spoiler for season five, which premieres April 12 on HBO.

Dinklage was interviewed by Popsugar recently and accidently revealed Tyrion’s fate on the show, which sees him journeying to Meereen to meet the Mother of Dragons, and coming face to face with a dragon himself.

When asked what burning question he would want George R.R Martin, author of the fantasy novels, “A Song of Fire and Ice” on which the TV series is based, to answer, Dinklage thought long and hard before answering:

“Do I die?” The pint-sized English actor ruminated out loud. “I just wanna know.”

He followed this statement by saying they would be filming for season six soon, giving away the fact that Tyrion Lannister does survive season 5.

“But I guess I just did a spoiler that I don’t die this season,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor said with a rueful grin.

Fans of Dinklage, whose character has amassed a large number of followers since the show opened in 2011, will be relieved to learn he will not be one of the major characters Martin earlier said the show creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were planning on killing off during season 5, despite those characters not dying in the book version.

Tyrion, who fans are rooting for as a strong contender for the Iron Throne, will be around come season six. Whether he will ally himself with Daenerys Targaryen to support her claim in Westeros, or end up opposing her remains to be seen this season, which starts off in two weeks on HBO.

Star Wars Live Action TV Series Really Happening?

STAR WARS: The Force Awakens YOUTUBESCREENSHOT

“STAR WARS: The Force Awakens” opens in theaters December 18, 2015

Christian Post Report – The “Star Wars” live action TV series project has never really progressed beyond pronouncements from original “Star Wars” creator and Lucasfilm head George Lucas and producers attached to the project that there were scripts available and that they were only waiting for production costs to significantly go down. All this was happening between 2005 and 2011.

After Walt Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2013, ABC Studios announced that they were looking into the possibility of continuing the TV series project and in 2014, there were rumors that casting was on the way for “Star Wars” projects.

Just recently, rumors started circulating again that the TV series project is back in the pipeline again. According to a report in io9 and Cinelinx, Disney and Lucasfilm are revisiting the project. Both reports likened the TV series in development to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In terms of storylines, the Cinelinx report says that it will not likely be based on the original scripts Lucas earlier wrote when they were still planning for the project, which supposedly focuses on a mob-like group of criminal bosses who controlled the criminal underworld under the Empire. Since the old scripts are out of the question, the series will supposedly be based on any of the 20 new stories that are in development.

According to io9, these stories could cover the period after the events in “The Return of the Jedi” up until the events in the upcoming “The Force Awakens.”

An Entertainment Weekly report lists some of the books, which include individual stories of characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Hans Solo and C-3PO among others. There will also be a book that is an epilogue for the original trilogy. Most of these books will be published between now and the release of “The Force Awakens,” and is said to target the young adult (YA) audience.

“It’s a way to introduce the heroes and villains of that original trilogy to a new audience that might not be as familiar as the audience that went and saw the films when they first came out,” said Disney Publishing exc Andrew Sugerman.

Winds of Winter Release Date Latest News: Game of Thrones Season 6 Could Bypass Books, George R.R. Martin Reacts

Game of Thrones Series Opening/Screenshot

In the midst of discouraging news author George R.R. Martin’s sixth book may be released well beyond the time period expected by fans, rumors have emerged HBO’s “Game of Thrones” may bypass the books it is based on.

Christian Post Report – With “The Winds of Winter” completion still hanging in the balance, speculations have arisen that HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” the multi-awarded fantasy miniseries, based on George R.R. Martin’s books, may move forward despite the absence of the sixth novel.

“A Song of Fire and Ice” author, Martin, has stated he is not privy to that information and remains adamant on completing the sixth book in his epic fantasy series with the same unhurried pace he has maintained.

“I don’t know. I mean, that’ll be up to the fans. The show is going forward, I’m going forward. We’ll see,” the 66-year-old novelist told Access Hollywood.

“Game of Thrones” long-awaited season five is scheduled to premiere on April 12, and with much of the storyline of the fifth book, “A Dance with Dragons” already in play for the season, the following year may see a dearth of source material for season six.

The departure from the original novels has already began, with Martin announcing spoilers earlier this year, saying the show’s creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, were killing off several major characters in season five that were still alive where the fifth book left off in 2011.

Reports have slowly been trickling in about the show eventually outpacing the books and creating its own material independent of the book series.

Martin himself has confirmed on his LiveJournal that he hasn’t been responsible for writing any of the “Game of Thrones” season five episodes, and neither will he pen any for the sixth season, either. He explained he made the decision to steer clear of writing for the show to focus more of his time in finishing the sixth book.

Earlier this month, he had announced he was cancelling appearances to two of his annual haunts, the Comic-Con in San Diego in July, and the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs in November, to devote his energies to completing “The Winds of Winter.”

With the pressure coming in from fans of the books, viewers of the show, and the show’s executives and producers, Martin is continuing to shrug off entreaties to finish his 1,500-page tome, and is focusing on creating a memorable read for his audiences instead.

Chicago Bulls NBA 2015 Roster News: Derrick Rose ‘Doesn’t Have Any’ Soreness In Surgically-Repaired Knee, Could Suit Up for Playoffs

This year has been an up and down season for Derrick Rose, who is playing in his first full season since he got injured two years ago.

Christian Post Report – While one can argue that he has not played a number of games for Chicago, Rose has 46 games – more than of the season, which is definitely not bad for Bulls fans.

In fact, Rose has been in his explosive self when 2015 began, averaging more than 20 points and 5 assists each game going to the All-Star Break.

Unfortunately, Rose once against injured his right knee, and he needed surgery.

After several weeks of waiting, and a seesaw ride for the Chicago Bulls, who have only won 11 out of their 20 last games, which is definitely not a good sign for Windy City. From 33-20 back in February, which is only a couple of games behind conference leading-Atlanta, the Chicago slipped to as low as fourth spot, behind the Cavs and Raptors.

Fortunately, it looks like Rose is feeling good and should be ready to return before the regular season ends.

When asked about the pain in his knee, the former MVP immediately said he’s feeling fine.

“I don’t have it,” he said. “I don’t have any. So that’s a good sign. The swelling is gone. So it’s all about just getting on the court.”

Now that Jimmy Butler is ready to return for the Bulls, and rookie Nikola Mirotic has been firing it up from all cylinders the past few weeks, Rose’s return would entail a completely healthy Bulls starting five for the first time this season.

Leaked images of the LG G4

Christian Post Report – South Korean smartphone maker LG is making big deal of its big unveiling of its next flagship phone, the LG G4. Invites have been sent out to an unveiling event on April 28 and 29 in multiple locations. This includes New York, London and Paris on April 28 and Seoul, Singapore and Istanbul on April 29.

According to a report in Android Authority, the invite looks like the leather cover of a notebook with the tagline: “See the Great, Feel the Great.” The “G” uses the same font as the LG G Series logo. The report also speculated on what the invite and its visual elements may signify. The leatherette cover may refer to a possible material that it may use in its new phone or a higher end version of it.

The reference to “seeing” and “feeling” may also refer to an entirely new design, like the possible use of metal more than plastic. All this however, the report reiterates is pure speculation.

Nothing is confirmed when it comes to the phone’s specifications. In addition to the usual size, some rumors say that LG may also come out with a premium G4 note to rival the Samsung Galaxy Note. The same report is also saying that LG may opt to use the “premium metallic build” with the G4 Note and still use the same plastic build for the LG G4.

In terms of specifications, rumors have it that the new phone will probably have a QHD screen, with a screen size of at least 5.1 or 5.2 inches. It will still have the LG rear-button set-up. It will be powered by an Octacore Snapdragon 810 at 3GHz. Internal storage will come in two variants: 3G RAM with 32G internal storage and 4G RAM with 64G internal storage. The rear-facing camera will be 20MP while the selfie camera will be 5.1MP. Battery capacity may be between 3500mAh to 4000mAh.
