Did you really just say earpiece? S2 doesn't look like iPhone enough for Samsung to get sued (my opinion as an Android user that loves iOS as well), but.. earpiece? Really? The curled edges I'd agree with. But that's about it

Well, there's the second half of that sentence which qualifies it with "broad, inclusive". I'm not saying I agree, although it could be that Apple believes Google Wallet was not broad, inclusive, or both.

Are you sure you're not the one that's experiencing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? I subscribe to Anandtech's RSS feeds and they had a slower period recently for technical articles.

Except the majority of Beats headphones sold are much less than $450. Looking around, most of the catalog is $250 or less. Even the article says "up to $450".
