HTC One is a name which seems to be hanging on the tip of every smartphone lover's tongue these days, and rightly so, as this Android phone single-handedly managed to not only slow down HTC's downfall as a smartphone manufacturer, but also to revive a bit of their old glamour, by showing a reasonable profit. This requires some further explanation, and we'll be more than willing to oblige; Most of the users must be aware of HTC's resources dwindling during the last couple of years. Though the Taiwanese firm managed to launch quite a few handsets in the past couple of years, none of them showed the leadership quality which would make them being termed as the "Hot-Favorites" of the season. To add to this blow, a couple of HTC's high-ranking officials left their jobs earlier this year, stating they didn't see any future in the company.

When it seemed that all was lost, and the hour of the "Armageddon" was just a stone's throw away, the company launched the HTC One. When this device was first introduced to the market, it had to face an enormous amount of competition in the form of iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but still it managed to sail through and create a fan base, in fact this underdog even managed to outshine the above mentioned handsets in many countries. Though the heroic tales of this handsome piece of machinery are never-ending, this is not the reason why one opts for this device, the real reason why this head-turner is held in such high regard is because it looks awesome, and works even more efficiently.

When it comes to smart features in an Android phone, this device just falls short of slaying a dragon by converting into a Jedi sword or something, it supports BlinkFeed which makes you be a part of Social Networks or news and feeds, you want constant updates about, by placing them conveniently on your Home screen; the other important features included are Zoe which makes your very own live breathing gallery, which though seems freaky, is actually really awesome, it also features BoomSound, interactive TV guide, and Sense Voice which ensures call clarity, even when a "flash-mob" is performing right next to you.

The outer frame of the handset is pure aluminium, which makes it tough as well as gives it a really rich feel, something which was found lacking in the Samsung S4. The front of the frame has two stereo speakers with built-in amplifiers fitted right-above and just-below a massive 4.7 inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen, which feels ultra-responsive to use. This screen offers 469 pixel density and has been protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 2 while it is powered by HTC Sense UI v5. The front of this LTE supporting handset also offers a 2.1 MP secondary camera, which besides being brilliant for video chatting, also supports HDR, although the whole phone has proven to be something refreshingly new, the main innovation by HTC has been in the form of a rear 4 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, which comes installed with something called the Ultra-pixels, though many users argue that this sounds a lot like Nokia's PureView technology, which was introduced more than a year back, let us assure you it isn't! The ultra-pixels just fill in extra pixels wherever the camera couldn't manage to place them, making the picture a lot more lifelike by adding a whole new dimension of colors.

At the time of its launch this handset came running on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS, which can now be upgraded to the latest version of Android which is being called the 4.2.2 Jelly Bean from your app store. Whether you want to juggle your way through screens, or load heavy websites, or open and use huge apps, you can do all this within a blink of an eyelid, as it is powered by a massive 1.7 GHz Quad-core Qualcomm Krait 300 Snapdragon 600 processor with 2 GB of RAM and Adreno 320 GPU.

If you are planning to go in for this device, then you will be able to own it in either of the two 32GB or 64GB variants whose memories cannot be expanded, and in three colors which reportedly are Black, Silver and Red (which is a new addition). Using this phone even for a small duration is enough to make you realize that it is the 'One' you won't mind if not your entire life then at least the next couple of years with.

It's estimated as many as 2.5 million people are out of work in the UK. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics paint a grim picture of the UK job market. The reality is many of these people are unable to find work at a location that's easily accessible via public transport which could prevent them from being able to attend interviews and ultimately secure a job that meets their skill set and salary expectations.

If you're unemployed and hold a full driving license but don't have a car there may be a solution in the form of unemployed car finance, the fact that you don't currently hold a job shouldn't be a game stopper. There's a common assumption that car finance is only available to those in full-time employment with a good credit history, this couldn't be further from reality.

2012 saw American car dealerships report an 18% surge in sub prime car loans and the trend looks set to continue in the UK with reports already suggesting the UK's sub prime sector is experiencing considerable growth. As more companies target the sector it creates a more competitive market place which ultimately leads to better deals for consumers along with less stringent approval criteria.

In order to gain approval for unemployed car finance you'll need to have some form of provable income. If you're unemployed this could come in the form of Job Seekers allowance. If your period of unemployment lasts for over 6 weeks you'll most likely be eligible to apply for the Government's job seekers allowance which, if your claim is approved and provided you stick to your job seekers agreement, will give you a guaranteed weekly income until you find employment. As part of your job seekers agreement you'll be expected to commute up to 90 miles for work so access to a car becomes even more important.

With this in mind and as long as you can prove that you have the disposable income needed to repay your car finance, chances are you'll qualify for sub prime car finance.

You should bare in mind that most lenders will still only lend you money if you have a guarantor who's in full-time employment. Your guarantor could be a friend or family member who's prepared to vouch for you and who will, if you default on payments be liable for any outstanding balance.

Before applying for unemployed car finance you'd be wise to register yourself on the electoral role as this will bolster your chances of approval. You should also avoid making multiple applications with different company's within a short period of time as multiple refusals can negatively impact your credit rating. It's also worth baring in mind that your previous financial history will be taken in to account during the decision making process. You can check your electoral status and view your credit profile for free on creditexpert.com.

It's inevitable that when you opt for this type of car finance interest rates will differ from those that you'd be offered if you we're in full-time employment. However, the opportunity to purchase a new car in order to help you find and secure a job that you're happy with can in the long run prove to be invaluable.

You should now be armed with all the know how you need to boost your job search by getting a new set of wheels on finance. If you're interested in taking advantage of sub prime finance, Stoneacre.co.uk are able to carry out an initial unemployed car finance eligibility check without the need to carry out a credit search which means there's no risk of unnecessarily damaging your credit rating with refusals.

If we were friends with Demi Moore, we'd tell her that sometimes it's best just to let things go and move on with life. But she's apparently unwilling to allow estranged husband Ashton Kutcher out of his marriage vows without some drama.

Many were scratching their heads on Thursday when the actress, 50, asked for spousal support and attorney's fees in her divorce documents, which she filed sixteen months after announcing the end of their six-year union, and two months after Kutcher, 34, filed his own divorce papers.

The supposed reason for the cash demand?

A Moore source tells TMZ that she was "really hurt" by Kutcher, who supposedly hot-tubbed with a blonde on their six-year anniversary. The insider also labels the actor, who rebounded post-split with Mila Kunis, a "bad husband."

"He humiliated her and then he treated her badly, which she didn't expect, and it really made her mad," another spy fumes to Radar Online. "She basically wants to hurt him the way he hurt her, and this is the only way she knows how."

According to TMZ, Demi has "untold millions more" than Ashton, even though he's made a mountain of money in recent years from "Two and a Half Men" and his various new media investments. And while there's very little chance that she'd be awarded spousal support, it seems the more she asks for now, the more she's likely to walk away with.

"We all know that during their marriage, he probably made lots more money than her," one Los Angeles lawyer tells E! News, "and if there is no prenup, she is entitled to 50 percent of whatever he accumulated during marriage."

TMZ says the exes are reportedly "pretty close" to reaching a financial settlement.

"Demi was totally blindsided when Ashton cheated on her, and she really hasn't gotten over it yet," adds the Radar source. "She really loved him, and she hasn't been able to let anything go. ... Demi is hurt, plain and simple, and she is lashing out."
