Dr. Dre's Beats Electronics, soon to be part of the Apple empire following a massive acquisition announcement of $3 billion, has filed a lawsuit that it hopes will not only put a collection of Chinese counterfeiters out of business, but also rake in a pretty penny when it comes to fines and seizure of assets.
The iPhone 6 parts leaks are arriving thick and fast, and having seen a fair bit of the alleged sapphire glass front cover for Apple's upcoming handset over the last couple of days, we've now got what appears to be a legitimate leak of the device's front frame. Notably, it includes a large shield used to keep the display element separate from the major interior components, and although there's no way of confirming its authenticity, it's certainly plausible when we consider some of the other leaks we've seen lately.

This year's Google I/O may have been dominated by the search giant's grand unveiling of Android L, but there were still plenty of other major announcements besides. Notably, the $35 Chromecast dongle, which turned the streaming market on its head when it first released back in 2013, would support Android Mirroring a la Apple's AirPlay Mirroring, and following the annual developer conference, we couldn't wait to give it a whirl. Having rolled the feature out earlier on this week, many Chromecast-owning Droidsters have jumped on this new feature, but unfortunately, it's rather limited with regards to the devices that it will stream from. Thankfully, though, there's a relatively painless workaround.
Thanks to the rife speculation regarding the iPhone 6, the burst of iWatch-related fanfare we found ourselves caught up in earlier this year has largely died down. But despite being consumed by the prospect of two larger handsets out of Cupertino later on this year, we've still a keen eye out for Apple's first wearable, and if you were hoping to get your hands on the device at launch, new reports of delays and production issues suggest that you might have a hard time in doing so.
It seems almost certain that the next-gen iPhone's front panel will be comprised of sapphire glass, with Apple apparently looking strengthen up a feature prone to shattering. As for sapphire glass's credentials as a robust material, we've already seen via the key and knife test that it can hold its own, and so now, as ever, the time has come for the car test.
BlackBerry may well be scrambling for some sort of relevancy in the smartphone world, but it seems that some people just wont let their BlackBerry Messenger, or BBM accounts die. Announcing its first beta release of BBM for Windows Phone, BlackBerry took to its blog in order to claim that it had received an "incredible number of requests for BBM to come to Windows Phone."
When Apple started extending the previews of songs that were longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds back in 2010, licensing was a big factor in reason that not all songs received the updated 90 second previews at the same time. Now, Apple appears to be reducing some of those previews to just 30 seconds, no matter the length of the song, across both the desktop and mobile versions of the iTunes Store.
