YouTube 5.0 for Android brings card UI, picture-in-picture viewing, and more

New YouTube 5.0 UI (top), old YouTube UI (bottom)

YouTube is rolling out an update for its Android users that will have you easily scrolling through the new navigation menu, flip through videos quicker with the new card user-interface, and multitask while watching videos with the new picture-in-picture option. You just need to swipe the video down (or tap on the check mark in the upper left corner) to minimize the video you’re watching while you browse YouTube and you can close the minimized video quickly by swiping it to the left. It isn’t a system-wide option (meaning it doesn’t work outside of YouTube) but it is a start.

Gold Standard: Images of gold iPhone 5S parts emerge

The Apple rumour mill has a new one for you, gold iPhones. It seems that the next iPhone will come in gold and there's a leaked part that gives us an idea of what this could look like. Reports say that the new colour won't be shiny gaudy blingy gold but it will resemble the treatment and finish on the gold iPod mini. Why gold? No one really knows but apparently the colour is easier to apply or spray on than black, slate or silver. Also it is supposedly 'more champagne and less gold,' in terms of colour.

What's more interesting is that the gold hue apparently transcends the visible parts of the device and is visible even in the components.
