The ALS challenge is something that we told you about earlier today when Apple's VP of Worldwide Marketing took his ice cold water like a man and then nominated CEO Tim Cook to do the same.

Apparently, the software giant is hard at work to push the next iteration of Windows out its Threshold (pun intended).
Apple's iPhone 6 is set to be announced early on next month, and although we've seen much of the 4.7-inch model, the supposedly delayed, 5.5-inch variant has continued to elude us.

The Moto 360 smartwatch from Motorola is likely to ship next month, with the company having just sent out emails requesting shipping information from I/O attendees. As ever with Google's major developers' gathering, there was plenty of free stuff on hand for those who turned up, and with most having opted for the endearing aesthetics of Motorola's first ever smartwatch in the pick-and-mix of gadgets offered, we may now have a decent idea as to when it will roll out to consumers.
