Last chance for Instagrammers to travel using Netflix's coffers

In case you didn't know, Netflix is offering talented Instagrammers a chance to travel to unknown European and Middle Eastern locations while earning $4,000 USD for that said two week stint. Not a bad deal, right? Well, you have until the end of March 6, which is today, to join. To apply for the job, you need to hashtag three of your top photos with #grammasters3 and follow @Netflix. Netflix is looking for TV and movie buffs that have a photographic eye. Make sure to choose the three shots that show your interests or passions. 

Netflix will pick four finalists that will get the job and visit the sets of popular shows and films, including Netflix original shows. And yes, they will handle the travel arrangements for you. To learn more about the "job" (let's face it, this is such a cool opportunity), you can find out more about it here.

New renders show what the HTC 10 flagship might look like

HTC is gearing up for a huge launch and the device is expected to be called the HTC 10. Recent renders show what the device looks like and it seems like a blend of the recent HTC A9 plus with certain qualities and elements from the HTC One M9 (and One M8 and One M7).

Leaked by Evan Blass, the HTC 10 will be launched sometime in mid-April for a possible May release. As for specs and any special differentiating features, we don't have a clear idea of that yet but HTC has promised that the camera this time around will be something really special.  We will have to stay tuned until the official announcement is made.

Review: Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear headphones for Android

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Theres' a level of design and detail on the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear headphones that is sorely missing in a lot of competing generic looking earbud-type models. It is easy to miss out on the details, but the lightweight steel construction and impressive design do make these in-ear headphones more durable.

iOS devices have had their pick of top-notch headphones which incorporate microphones, music controls as well as provide an experience tuned to the iPhone's sound. Android devices, not so much. The Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear headphones level the playing field by offering control, quality and comfort for compatible Android devices.

It's strange that while Android is the leading mobile platform, it is still struggling in the realm of accessories such as headphones. The reason may be that while various OEM's share the same basic OS, the hardware specifications may be too nebulous for third party headphone makers to tackle universally.
