Say Hi To Htc S New Iphone The One A9

HTC One A9 has been making rounds in the Internet, for not so right reasons as you might have deduced from the picture.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earphones Review Better Than Airpods

Let’s have a one over with the aesthetics first. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless, I know the name’s too long, so I’m just going to refer to them as the earbuds henceforth.

Looking at all this patent mess between Apple and Samsung, we realize that in some cases, good artists get banned, and great artists get patents approved, or, the other way around, if you like. From what I can tell, Apple has been one of the most aggressive companies in terms of suing others for alledged patent infringements....
