Before the Hero 4 is officially unveiled by GoPro, they’ve announced the update to the Hero 3 — the GoPro HD Hero3+.

The new couple can do 720p video recording with a 120fps frame rate or a full HD 1080p video at 60fps.

The Black Edition has a 12MP lens and can do up to 4K resolution as well although only at 15fps. The Silver Edition has a 10MP lens and can do 1080p @ 60fps.

The new Hero3+ is smaller and lighter than the previous Hero3 model but GoPro promises longer battery life on a single full charge.

The Black Edition costs $399.99 with the WiFi remote while the Silver Edition is just $299.99.

Gov’t official with many hats: Mining exec, donor, appointee

SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS may be faulted for not doing enough.

Others, however, seem to be doing just a little too much.

In its investigation into the profiles of the major donors in the 2013 Senate race, the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism stumbled into the case of Engineer Roberto Bernardo.

ROBERTO BERNARDO

Bernardo is the Assistant Regional Director of the Department of Public Works and Highways for Region IV-A. Interestingly, Bernardo also put up a company called the International Global Mining Exchange (IGME) in 2011.

The company later donated P5 million to the campaign of former President Joseph Estrada’s Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino in the 2013 elections.

After Estrada won as Manila’s new mayor, he then plucked Bernardo (Bernardo uses the term ‘detailed’) from the DPWH to be the new City Engineer of Manila.

Was it planned, was it fate, or a confluence of events? Bernardo says it is simply a matter of trust.

Lenovo Vibe Z K910 specs:
5.5-inch IPS LCD display @ 1080 x 1920 pixels, 401 ppi
Corning Gorilla Glass 2
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz quad-core processor
Adreno 330 Graphics
2GB RAM
16GB internal storage
HSPA+/LTE 100Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, dual-band
Bluetooth 4.0 w/ A2DP
13 MP camera w/ dual LED flash
1080p video capture
5MP front-facing camera
GPS w/ aGPS support

There’s no mention of how much battery capacity but we’re hoping it would be larger than the 2,500mAh of the previous one. The Lenovo K910 will also be encased in a metal body, just like the K900.
