Apple is selling a seriously yellow iPad Pro for around $18,000 Though Apple's products have gained a bit of color in the form of gold and rose gold options recently, the company isn't known for providing particularly vibrant hues on its high-end devices. Fortunately, the company has just designed a bright yellow (no, not gold) 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Unfortunately, you might have to pony up around $18,000 to buy it. Apple designed the one-off iPad Pro for a charity auction at London's Design Museum. The Phillips auction house estimates the iPad will sell for anywhere from £10,000 to £15,000, or approximately $14,200 to $21,300. For that price, at least you're getting a nifty Apple Pencil with a leather holster and a blue leather Smart Cover; though for that price, I'd demand a Smart Keyboard instead. This is just the most recent of Apple's one-off limited edition products (we made a handy list here). The most expensive of these? A $977,000 Product (Red) Mac Pro. Also notable: $461,000 rose gold earbuds. If you have that kind of cash, the colorful iPad Pro can be yours on April 28. via Engadget Unique iPad Pro, iPad Smart Cover, Apple Pencil and holder on Phillips. Selfie craze caused surge in lip surgeries in 2015 Everyone is secretly getting lip implants, according to data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and doctors say it's because we all want to look better in those vital ‘my life is going just awesome' selfie pictures. Last year was a "record" one for lip augmentation, making it the second-fastest-growing facial procedure for patients in the US going under the knife since 2000. The procedure is being chosen by women and men alike – with 27,449 done last year, a pair of lips plumped up every 19 minutes. "We live in the age of the selfie, and because we see images of ourselves almost constantly on social media, we're much more aware of how our lips look," David Song, MD and president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, says. Looking at the eye-watering, body-butchering stats overall reveals that since 2000, cosmetic procedures have actually seen a 10 percent drop, while something like the ‘upper arm lift' has experienced quadruple-digit growth. That's presumably because your chubby arm was ruining the corner of your plumped lip selfie shot. Top cosmetic surgery procedure, as ever, was the breast augmentation. Yes, 279,143 women felt the need to upgrade ‘the girls' last year. The Web will have a lot of explaining to do when we arrive in the future. Google brings free Wi-Fi to 9 more railway stations across India Following on its plan to make the Web and its own services available to more people in India, Google has expanded its public Wi-Fi program to cover nine new railway stations across the country. The company first turned on free Wi-Fi at Mumbai's Central station in January, in collaboration with Indian Railways and RailTel. The service is now available at the following stations: Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Ernakulam Junction, Kacheguda, Pune, Raipur, Ranchi, Vijayawada and Vishakhapatnam. Google says the expansion will allow 1.5 million people each day to access the Web at no charge. It hopes to reach 90 more stations this year and eventually cover 300 more. This initiative is part of Google's mission to connect India to the Web, which CEO Sundar Pichai outlined last December. Last month, managing director for South East Asia and India Rajan Anandan said that the company was in talks with local telecom service providers to begin testing Project Loon, its program to beam internet access to users from balloons in the sky. LinkedIn's new app helps students figure out their career paths and find mentors LinkedIn has already cemented its position as the go-to social network for working professionals. Now, it's aiming at a younger audience with its new app for students that slated to launch on Monday. Coming to Android and iOS, LinkedIn Students offers college folks a look at the career paths their degrees will afford them once they graduate. The app will suggest roles based on your education, surface job listings for your selected major and deliver career advice content through a card-based interface. LinkedIn says that it hopes to inform students about opportunities they may have not been aware of. For example, if you're studying psychology, it'll tell you about alternative roles that you can consider, such as a recruiter for a large firm. It will also let you browse profiles of recent alumni with your major so you can connect with them to ask questions about how they advanced through their careers and hopefully find a mentor. It's an interesting approach for LinkedIn to try and stay relevant, while also bringing users on board before land their first job. Ada Yu, a senior product manager at LinkedIn, told VentureBeat, "This is a soft introduction to students who may not know the value of networking and introduce LinkedIn's value proposition." As LinkedIn launches its new app, it's reportedly set to close its education portal , with the exception of the alumni connections and university pages. LinkedIn Students will become available at 6AM PT on Monday, on Android and iOSfor users in the US. Fore more updates log on to nextweb.com
