Xiaomi’s president says that his company “will acquire BlackBerry,” although we have a very hard time believing that will actually be the case. G for Games points us to remarks made by Xiaomi president and cofounder Bin Lin in which he flat-out states that Xiaomi will buy BlackBerry. Skeptical of a Google translation of the Xiaomi president’s remarks, G for Games looked at the original text and broke it down word by word and, lo and behold, it seems he really did say that his company would be buying BlackBerry.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is the only Samsung smartphone so far that can’t be accused of copying Apple’s iPhones, but its successor might not be the hottest new phablet out of South Korea this year. With many Android fans eagerly awaiting the September debut of the Galaxy Note 5, their attention has suddenly turned to the “Galaxy S6 Plus,” another new phablet Samsung will seemingly launch this year.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, otherwise known as WWDC, has become something of a can’t-miss event in the tech world over the past few years. But if we go back in time to the pre-iPhone era, WWDC was a bit more subdued, a bit more developer oriented, and dare I say, a bit more boring.
