Apple is really pressing its unreleased Watch on its massive ecosystem of users.

When you download iOS 8.2 you will be greeted by the new Apple Watch application, which at this point only offers some promo videos for the smartwatch and a link to the website so you can conceivably pre-order in the coming weeks. When the watch actually launches, the app will house all the Apple Watch apps you can download.

Unfortunately for those that have no plans to ever purchase the Watch, the app cannot be deleted, so you will just have to hide it in a folder with the rest of the Apple apps you can't delete like Passbook, Tips, Stocks, Weather, Calendar, Clock, FaceTime, Contacts, iBooks, Compass, Maps, Health, Newsstand, Photos, Camera, Notes, Messages, Voice Memos, the iTunes Store, and the App Store.

Samsung has announced record pre-orders for their upcoming Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge phones, with figures that could potentially rival the iPhone.

"Samsung received some 20 million pre-orders for the S6 and S6 Edge _ 15 million of S6 and five million of the S6 Edge from mobile carriers, worldwide. This is the record," said an executive at the company.

That executive remained off the record but Samsung mobile boss Shin Jong-kyun seemingly confirmed the reports. "To be honest, pre-orders of the two Galaxy variants from our major clients are really huge," Shin said.

Besides the increase in sales, Samsung will be making more money per device, as well, having moved the processor from Qualcomm to their own in-house Exynos line. Industry watchers say the move could give the company over $20 more in profits per device.

The new devices are powerful, and feature metal and glass designs compared to the plastic of previous models that many were starting to consider 'cheap' especially when compared to the latest iPhones. The S6 has a 5.1-inch OLED QHD display, up to 128GB internal memory, 3GB RAM, 16/5 MP cameras, a fingerprint scanner, curved glass on the fron and will launch with Android 5.0 with Samsung's own UI on top.

Earlier today, Apple unveiled their best notebook yet, the simply named 'MacBook.'

The new MacBook is the thinnest and lightest version yet and just 2 pounds (even lighter than the MacBook Air), and it comes with a 12-inch Retina display.

Outside of just looks, Apple has completely rehauled the notebook. The trackpad now supports 'Force Click,' a gesture that lets you automatically perform actions. Apple used the example of 'Force Clicking' on an address and have it open in Maps. The keyboard is also now more precise and accurate and better ergonomically thanks to a new 'butterfly' design built by Apple.

The logic board is 67 percent smaller than previous MacBooks, and the new notebook is Apple's first fanless version. Powered by a brand new Intel Core M processor, Apple claims the notebook is so efficient the battery can last all day, potentially up to 16 hours.

Don't care for excessive ports? Apple's latest has just one reversible USB-C port, which is incredibly powerful but will require an adapter/hub to be useful. Just like a Lightning port, the USB-C port can fit either way, so no more unnecessary fiddling around trying to plug in your devices.

Apple will sell the notebook in silver, space gray and gold like the iPhone and iPad, starting at $1299 and reaching $1599 with more RAM, more storage, etc.

Apple made an interesting note today during their Apple Watch keynote event, flexing some muscle while announcing exclusive access to HBO's new standalone streaming service for set-top boxes.

The new service, HBO Now, will be available only for Apple TV owners for the first three months of its release, however, anyone can still view the library of films from a Web browser so the term 'exclusive' can be considered a stretch. There will also be an iPhone and iPad app available at launch, if you prefer to view on the go.

"All you need to get HBO Now is a broadband connection and an Apple device," said HBO CEO Richard Plepler.

Just like HBO Go, the service will offer HBO's entire library or original shows and a large list of feature films. The service will cost $14.99 and you will not need a cable HBO subscription. The service launches just in time for the next season of 'Game of Thrones' which begins on April 12th (trailer below)

In addition, Apple also revealed it is slashing the price of the Apple TV to $69, putting it in-line with pricing from rival devices like the Roku.

As part of their broad 'Spring Forward' event today, Apple revealed the release date and pricing for their hotly anticipated Apple Watch.

As expected, the Watch starts at $349, and as predicted by John Gruber, the high-end models will retail for over $10,000.

Beginning with the aluminum Apple Watch Sport, you can get a 38mm face version for $349 and the 42mm model for $399. Jumping to the stainless steel Apple Watch will cost you $549 for 38mm and $599 for the 42mm model. If you want a different band, the Apple Watch could cost you as much as $1099, suggesting that some bands will cost upwards of $500 by themselves.

Finally, available at select flagship stores, the 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition will begin at $10,000 and go higher from there.

The watches will be available in stores starting on April 24th, with pre-orders beginning on April 10th in the US, UK, China, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Hong Kong.

After a year of delays, it appears that the Sony PlayStation 4 will be finally getting the highly anticipated suspend/resume feature.

Such a move will put the console in line with rival Microsoft's Xbox One, which allows players to shut down their system and then turn it back on at any point and have (nearly) everything pick up where they left off.

Sony promised the feature before the console launched in November 2013, but there has been little word about it until very recently.

New screenshots posted to Neogaf show that firmware update 2.5 will add the ability "enter rest mode without closing any applications," which suggests the suspend/resume feature.

Additionally, there is expected to be a button remapping screen, allowing gamers to change the controller button layouts for their games.

Pandora has announced today that it will offer a 'one-day pass' for non-subscribers, giving them 24 hours of ad-free music for just $0.99.

Chief Product Officer Chris Phillips says the new offering will make Pandora ideal for parties where hosts don't want their guests to hear ad breaks that come quite often in the free version of the software.

Despite the revealed $0.99 price point, Phillips says the 24-hour duration and the price are still up for review: "Pandora is committed to delivering an effortless, personalized experience and we recognize some consumers may want an ad-free experience but don't necessarily want to commit to a subscription. This offering will allow consumers to choose and explore what is right for them or suits a particular event or experience. Pricing and exact timing are yet to be determined but we expect it to be available later this year."

If you are a Pandora fan, the company does offer a monthly ad-free experience called Pandora One for $4.99 per month. The premium subscription allows for more skips and ups the quality to 192kbps, as well.

'Serena,' the new film starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, is available now via legal streaming services, a full three weeks before its theatrical debut in the U.S.

The move is just the latest in a series of strange events related to the film. Despite the star power of its two leads, the film wrapped in 2012 and had no distributors until 2014, when it was released internationally. The film will debut in a limited theater run starting on March 27th, but the movie has been almost universally panned by critics.

If you are daring, rentals are available now on Google Play, iTunes and Amazon Instant Video at $10.99 for HD and $9.99 for SD. This is far above the average $2.99-$5.99 that digital rentals for new films cost, but it comes with the territory of being a pre-release.

Microsoft has sued Japanese phone maker Kyocera over patent infringement this week, claiming that the company's Duraforce, Hydro and Brigadier line of phones violate up to seven of the Redmond giant's patents.

Filed in the U.S., the suit is demanding a U.S. sales injunction against the products, which would be most of Kyocera's Android devices sold in the country.

"We respect Kyocera but we believe they need to license the patented technology they are using. We're hopeful this case can be resolved amicably," said Microsoft deputy general counsel David Howard in a statement.

A few of the patented technologies include location services and text messaging and plenty more of other crucial cell phone features.

WhatsApp has taken the next step in tightening their policies, basically banning the use of third-party clients or even their installation.

Earlier this year, the popular messaging service told users and developers that because they could not guarantee third-party apps are safe and secure, they would begin to crack down on them.

Third-party devs have been receiving cease and desist notices and users also saw their accounts temporarily banned but there was widespread panic this week when a WhatsApp developer posted on Google+ that the company would be begin to use a "Permanent Account Disable" for anyone using a third-party app.

For now, the company has clarified the reports, explaining that the bans are still placed on the accounts for only as long as the user continues to use non-official applications. Previously, users received 24-hour bans as warnings. There will be no permanent bans although the ban will essentially be permanent if you do not remove the third-party apps from your device.

According to sources, Japan Display is building a new plant that would supply millions of smartphone displays for Apple iPhones.

The new $1.4 billion LCD manufacturing plant would help the company become a primary supplier to Apple, which sells upwards of 150 million iPhones per year.

Apple will also reportedly invest in the plant, which will be built in Ishikawa, Japan.

If accurate, the agreement would be a massive deal for Japan Display; a company that was built off the floundering display units of Hitachi, Sony and Toshiba in 2012 and is currently supported by the Japanese government.

Time Warner Cable has released their TV app to Microsoft latest and greatest gaming console – the Xbox One. The app as you might guess allows you to watch TV on your Xbox if you have the cable company's subscription.

Engadget notes that unfortunately unlike the Xbox 360 the Xbox One version is still limited to video-on-demand content but will eventually support live TV as well. There is however already support for both Kinect voice controls and Snap multitasking.

You'll find both free and paid content just like on other platforms that include iOS, Android, Roku and Samsung Smart TVs.

The users of the uTorrent have found that the new version of the popular BitTorrent client comes with an additional piece of software unseen before. What makes it even worse is that it is installed without consent.

The program is called EpicScale and is a bitcoin mining software. Mining cryptocurrencies uses a lot of your processing power and therefore is extremely power hungry.

BitTorrent has replied and assured that EpicScale is not installed without users consent. Several users seem to disagree and have found the mining software on their computer without agreeing on installing it.

Have you had problems with this program? If you have installed the new update and your CPU is running hot you may want to check your installed programs (via Control Panel) and remove the possible EpicShare.

Mobile payment system Softcard is officially dead following its recent acquisition by Google.

The company has sent out emails to current users acknowledging that the app and all accounts will shut down on March 31st.

Softcard was created by Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile but even hundreds of millions in investment could not buy any regular users for the service. Google acquired most of the tech that was powering Softcard last month, and has rolled it into their Wallet mobile payment app and used the tech for the upcoming Android Pay API.

Google is expected to pull the Softcard app from Google Play next week.

Check out a copy of the email here:

According to a new report, Google will begin their new experimental MVNO later this month, but with one massive caveat.

The search giant is preparing to get into the carrier business, with a network that can instantly switch between Wi-Fi, Sprint and T-Mobile depending on what network is strongest.

Given the fact that T-Mobile is GSM and Sprint is CDMA, Google needs specific hardware and software tweaks to make it all work and for the time being the only device that is completely open for them to toy with is their own Nexus 6.

With the Nexus 6 as the only phone available for the new network, the company is obviously shortening the list of potential consumers, as the device sells for $650 unlocked.
