In this day and age, and with the internet so rampant with people eager for the latest news and gossip in the world of technology, new products leaking out of vendors and manufacturers is simply a way of life at this point. Even with that in mind though, it's notable just how many times the new Nexus 5 from Google has been caught on camera in both still photos and that 7-minute video that we brought you not long ago. If you can judge a phone's success on the amount of information that leaks about it before its official unveiling, then it would certainly seem that Google has a winner on its hands.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
It seems that Facebook is giving iOS plenty of focus of late, and after seemingly falling out with the platform following an unusually slow update cycle, the social network is now updating its iPhone and iPad apps at a much more useful cadence.
You've know you've made it when you get a book written about you. You know you've really made it when someone writes a book about being your girlfriend.
It's been all change in the Apple boardroom over the last 24 months, and while some of it has obviously been unavoidable other moves have been entirely by the Cupertino firm's choosing. The latest high profile addition to the brain trust that roams Apple's corridors of power is the appointment of current Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts.
Privacy is something that is very much the hot button topic on the Internet of late, and location privacy is possibly one of the biggest things that people are most concerned about. In a world where everything can track us in one way or another, people always feel like they're winning the battle if they can maintain a little bit of privacy.
People may, rightly or wrongly, accuse the smartphone market of being a little on the stale side. Six years in since the market was turned upside down by Apple when the original iPhone was announced, it's arguable that not a great deal has changed since then. Yes, we've got 4G handsets and yes, they're blazingly fast when compared to the original iPhone and the HTC G1, but they essentially look the same and the form factor hasn't changed a great deal either.
With mobile gaming, what was once the market that the likes of Sega, Sony and Nintendo dominated is now wide open for the taking. With its huge collection of games and devices selling like the proverbial hotcakes, it's safe to say that Apple is a real mobile gaming player at this point, if you pardon the rather heavy-handed pun.
The latest big Android release was definitely the Galaxy Note 3. Both big in the attention it drew and the sheer size of the device brought to market, Samsung's new phablet is proving just as popular as the two versions that came before it. No big shocks there, then.
As we work our way through the month of October it's surely only a matter of time until we see an invitation to Google's Nexus 5 event landing in inboxes across the blogging world. With more and more leaks of not just the hardware but also the software that it runs appearing on a seemingly daily basis, it's clear that Google's new smartphone can't be too far away.
The Nexus 5 leaks just keep on coming, and barely a day after the last photos showed up online we have now been treated to a video of what appears to be Google's next big smartphone release.
