Speed starts 2014 with Marian Rivera

MANILA, Philippines - Happy New Year, technophiliacs.

Speed’s January issue embodies the Tech to Expect theme, one that always starts the year for the magazine.

But Speed has also greeted the past 10 years with a January-February double issue, so this inaugural single edition is extra special and avant-garde.

As if that is not enough to make you tingle, the ever-so-captivating Marian Rivera decks the cover with her unprecedented beauty and charm.

Be inspired by the homegrown Tech Firestarters: Sulit.com.ph, Chikka Messenger, and Youphoric Labs. Get tips and insights from the men and woman behind these successful startups.

Catch up with UAAP alums Nico Salva and Gretchen Ho, and your favorite TV news reporters, and find out how tech-savvy they are in real life.

Cannot pick the perfect smartphone to start the year? Speed puts the iPhone 5s, LG G2, HTC One max, Nokia Lumia 1020, and Sony Xperia Z1 to the test to help.

If you want a new tablet to go with that new phone, read the showdown among the Apple iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and Microsoft Surface 2.

Speed gathers cutting-edge coffee makers that are as drool-worthy as the coffee they brew. Speaking of drool, the Eagle Low Drag GT spreads its wings in a four-page spread for the ultimate seduction.
