After the reported Leonardo DiCaprio talks broke down, it looked as though Christian Bale was a sure bet to play Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic written by Aaron Sorkin. Earmarked for the lead role and lauded as the perfect fit by Sorkin himself, we'd begun looking ahead to the movies eventual release, with the small matter of the main title characters apparently done and dusted. Yesterday, it emerged that Bale had dramatically swerved the opportunity to play Jobs, but it seems a replacement may already have been found in the form of Michael Fassbender.
The holiday season is pretty much around the corner, and as the trend goes every year, it's to be expected that we'll see a number of retailers offer a wide variety of sales and discounts on a number of items. Being a tech outlet, we have a vested interest in all things technology and gadgetry, so when we heard of a leaked flyer from Sam's Club that supposedly indicates that the wholesaler will slash the price of the new iPhone 6 by $100 starting November 15, we got excited, and we decided to share the news with you. Yup, on November 15, starting 7am local time, you can get your hands on a brand new iPhone 6 with two-year contract for just $99 for the 16GB variant!
Intel announced the next generation in its processor lineup - the Broadwell series - which will ship for most Macs by early-to-mid 2015, but somewhere along the way, the company unveiled a new lineup of Broadwell processors by the name of Core M, a couple of months back. These chips stand out of the crowd due to being ultra-low-power, and will run at mere 4.5 watts. Their intended use? The next generation of fanless PCs and tablets, including the rumored (and highly anticipated) 12-inch MacBook Air that might sport a Retina display, and slated for 2015 release.
Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs biopic is having something of a hard time of it of late. First, apparently after plenty of negotiations, Leonardo DiCaprio decided that the role of Steve Jobs wasn't for him which opened the door for British actor and Batman himself Christian Bale. Now it's looking increasingly like Sorkin will once again have to be on the lookout for a new Jobs after Bale reportedly decided that he too won't be playing the iconic Apple co-founder.

Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have shattered a number of records in its first six weeks on sale, and as well as outselling every previous iPhone during these early stages, has also done a pretty good job of embarrassing Samsung and the Galaxy Note 4. Despite the strong beginning, Apple's iPhone 6 / 6 Plus roll-out is not yet fully under way, and having launched in the U.S., U.K. and several other key nations way back in September, the number of countries able to access the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus now stands at over 60.

Apple may be frantically attempting to fulfill demand for its recently announced iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, second-generation iPad Air and iMac with Retina 5K display, but it seems that the company also has one eye firmly fixed on its product roadmap for next year.
Apple Watch is perhaps the most awaited product from the Cupertino company after the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, with the smartwatch being Apple's first attempt at the market.
