It seems that a day can't go by right now without there being some sort of story that revolves around Apple's decision to either build a larger iPhone, or its decision against it.

It's one of the reasons that Google's Android is often preferred over Apple's iOS, but Google Now is no longer an Android-only affair, with the personal assistant now available for the competition's iPhone and iPad devices.
Windows Phone is still not quite gaining the traction it needs to worry the likes of Apple and Google, but few can argue that Microsoft hasn't made some important improvements to the platform since its introduction. Things like copy and paste are now part of Windows Phone, when they were once just a pipe dream. With Microsoft already working to bring a new version of Windows to the desktop, the speculation is now all about where the Redmond firm will take Windows Phone when it receives its next update.
Fans of Iron Man and other superheroes are serious people when it comes to their favorite franchises, which means they love to buy merchandise. It's the real reason comic books and movies are so lucrative - they make their own money, but it's merchandise where everyone really lines their pockets.
