Some stories are just too strange to be true, or so unlikely that they're unbelievable. Sometimes though, truth really is stranger than fiction. Like the time someone left an iPhone prototype in a bar. Yeah, that happened.
Apple Pay is gradually expanding its reach, and many of the big-name retailers are already on board. Best Buy is doing its bit to get with the times by adding in-app support for Apple's new transaction scheme today, and per the words of Tim Cook, the electronics retail giant will begin accepting Apple Pay later on this year.
So yeah, Apple sold some stuff. Or lots of stuff, to be more accurate. Having already had a smashing first quarter, the Cupertino giant has now announced its Q2 2015 financial results for the quarter ending this past March and they're impressive to say the least.

Facebook's Messenger app offers an impressive inventory of different tools and features, and, even compared with longer-serving rivals, caters to most users' requirements with aplomb. However, one glaring shortcoming is that of video chat - specifically the lack thereof - and with millions of clips shared on the Menlo Park firm's social network, it seems almost criminal that something so basic remains missing from Messenger. Still, an official announcement today has confirmed that video calling will soon be included among Messenger's features, with iOS and Android users across 18 different nations benefiting initially.

Apple's iOS devices and indeed its Macs have tended to fare relatively well in the world of security, not finding themselves on the wrong end of too many major incidents. A new security flaw, outed at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, may prove troublesome for users of iPhones and iPads though, mainly because it has the potential to cause those devices to go into a constant boot-loop.
We've seen plenty of iOS 9 concepts surface in the past few months from fans and designers alike, with some of them being pretty ambitious. This new concept however, does not tinker much with the existing building blocks of iOS 8, and instead, is looking to add a new Quick Access feature on the lock screen.
It's just a matter of days before the Apple Watch should start arriving at the doors of buyers around the globe and app developers are getting their updates out already for the big day. We have already seen plenty of new apps and updates to existing ones over the last few weeks but things have really started to pick up over the last two or three days.
