- In Q4 Android phones drove more mobile ad impressions than iPhone for 1st time ever – Mobile ad impressions is an imprecise calculation, but changes in them can definitely identify trends. This information was released by Opera Mediaworks (which tracks the statistics of the Opera Mobile).

- HTC M7 could arrive as soon as March 8 – HTC was banking on getting their next elite smartphone, the M7 out the door before Apple's iPhone 5S/6 or Samsung's Galaxy S IV were released. However, numerous reports of manufacturing issues among other things have led to a released that may hit only 500K instead of the purported 3M units alleged to ship. That said, getting it out in March may help HTC capture mindshare before comparative devices can be released. Via Android Community, more here.
- Mailbox for iPhone goes live for free in the App Store, reservations now being filled – "Mailbox, the highly-anticipated third-party Gmail client for the iPhone, is now available in the App Store. Here's the essence of why Mailbox is meant to be a better mobile email client:

1 BR BA (23DV), 2nd Floor, King, 1 Mile to Beach Sunset Beach, North Carolina
Additional Location Information
We're a quiet family beach resort located on the North Carolina coast, just minutes from the South Carolina line. Our trademark is our pristine three-mile-long sandy beach; beautiful sunrises and sunsets (which can be seen from the island because of our unique southern exposure) and spectacular golfing. Other unique features of our community include Bird Island, a 2000+- acre nature preserve that borders the west end of Sunset Beach and can only be accessed by land via the beach.
This vacation home is at Sea Trail Resort, which is about as close as you can get to the beach yet have all of the amenities of a resort. Sea Trail boasts three signature golf courses (Rees Jones, Dan Maples and Willard Byrd) just about a mile from the beach. Sunset Beach's Ingram Planetarium, which provides educational and entertaining programs for both adults and children, is just down the road.
When you're ready for night life, bumper cars, and a bit of history, Myrtle Beach, SC, and Wilmington, NC, are just minutes away. And there are dozens of other areas of interest and local attractions nearby.

U.N.'s Afghan Envoy Makes His Case in Washington
UNITED NATIONS -- The departing chief of the United Nations mission to Afghanistan met with top officials in Washington on Thursday, a day after giving the U.N. Security Council a scathing assessment of U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
Kai Eide met with Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan; the two men then paid a brief "farewell call," on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a State Department spokesman said.
Mr. Eide requested the meetings, a U.N. official said, and canceled a news conference and high-level appointments in New York to depart for Washington. The administration agreed to the meeting "at the last minute," the official said.
Messrs. Eide and Holbrooke clashed over support for Afghan President Hamid Karzai during the crisis over election fraud in August, many U.N. officials said.
The Washington meetings came a day after Mr. Eide, without specifically naming the U.S., blasted the administration's Afghan policy, warning the Security Council in his farewell address that an excessive reliance on a military solution risked failure in Afghanistan.
"If we do not take ... civilian components of the transition strategy as seriously as the military component, then we will fail," Mr. Eide said. "For years there has been a consensus -- at least in rhetoric -- that this conflict ultimately cannot be solved by military means, but most of our focus has been on the number of military forces."
The U.S. has 920 civilian officials deployed to Afghanistan; President Obama has ordered 30,000 more troops to the country.
Mr. Eide called for increased investment in Afghanistan's civilian institutions, its military and its economy. He is stepping down from his post in March after clashing with his deputy, U.S. diplomat Peter Galbraith, over how the election crisis was handled. The U.N. dismissed Mr. Galbraith over the flap.

Our 2015 Keynote Speaker

2015 Keynote Speaker

on how she learned to
"Embrace the Detour"
2015 Keynote Speaker
Kim Holden
talking about how to
"Do Epic"
Creating is heart draining stuff. It's amazing and beautiful and the most satisfying thing on earth, but it'll suck the heart right out of you if you let it. But it's a beautiful disaster, the mess of giving yourself over to the book you're writing, and it's absolutely worth the exhaustion.
The trick is to find a place you can go to refuel once that creative well within you has run dry. For me, that place is UtopYA.
Chelsea Fine, author of Finding Fate and Archers of Avalon Series
UtopYA was the perfect mix of people and genres, new and seasoned. Networking was not just easy, but fun and amazing.
Even if you don't know that many people when you come, you leave going home with a ton of new Facebook friends. It reminded me of Summer Camp, the very best parts of it, the parts you always look back on and don't ever want to forget—like leaving with a notebook full of new addresses of people to write to.
Shelly Crane, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of Significance
An uplifting, collaborative and educational conference for those who love supernatural and contemporary young adult and new adult fiction!
Panels filled with writers and experts in the publishing and entertainment industries will share with established and aspiring authors and screenwriters their tips to improve craft and advance careers, as well as FUN panels for fans where then can directly influence and interact with their favorite writers!
Read more UtopYA stories!Hear how UtopYA has changed more lives and careers.
This is your chance to celebrate the writers, producers, editors, bloggers, designers and others who bring your favorite characters and stories to life!
With 30+ categories, live music, interactive live streaming and celebrity hosts and guests, it's YOUR chance to dress up and get down with your favorite authors and friends!
Two full days of panels, exhibitors, meet & greets, parties and the best keynote speakers will be follwed by a full day signing event on Saturday (10 AM – 4 PM).
Similar to the massively popular TED talks, utopYA gives you the chance to apply/submit your "talk." If chosen, you could share your ideas on publishing, marketing, community-building, craft, trends, good-doing, and forward-thinking with attendees at the 2015 utopYAcon.
Check out the full schedule here.

The Top 100 Inspirational Books: 20 - 11
20 - Wild at Heart
20 - Wild at Heart
I don't
completely agree with everything author John Eldredge advocates in this book,
but when I first read it as a junior in college it truly changed my life. In
the book, Eldgredge wrestles with the church's predominant view of masculinity
(that men should be quiet, meek, tame, and all around 'good guys') and instead
advocates for a wilder, more passionate approach to manhood. As someone who was
just coming to grips with what "being a man" actually meant, and discovering
that I did not really understand the concept at all, the book was eye opening.
It encouraged me to look deeper at beliefs I had always held to be true, and
continue to strive towards becoming a full, whole man of God.

You don't need to cry a river over the Selena Gomez/Justin Bieber break up! The sexy Spring Breakers star isn't sad that she and the pop superstar are no longer together, and she's not shy to tell us! Last week Selena told Dave Letterman that she also made 'Justin cry' and last night during an appearance on Chelsea Lately the singer revealed that she's totally ok with her new single status.
According to US Weekly, Selena and Spring Breakers co-star Vanessa Hudgens were on the show to promote their movie when Chelsea asked Selena "Are you enjoying being single?" To which Selena responded "Yes, I really am!" Chelsea then dished out some advice to the starlet;
"You're 20 years old. You've got a lot of men ahead of you!"
I think that's great advice!
