During Apple's WWDC keynote last week, Tim Cook gleefully boasted that Apple Music now has more than 27 million subscribers. While that's a respectable increase from the 20 million subscribers Apple's streaming service had this past December, it seems that Apple still can't do anything to close the subscriber gap it has with Spotify.

Ahead of WWDC 2017, there were rumors indicating that Apple with iOS 11 was going to introduce a completely enhanced and revamped version of Siri. Specifically, it was reported that the next-gen version of Siri was not only going to be better at making sense of user queries but that Siri's capabilities would be expanded as well. Alas, Apple executives had so much ground to cover during the WWDC keynote that there wasn't much time spent on Siri at all, though we did see a nifty little demo highlighting Siri's ability to translate queries into a handful of different languages.

If there's one thing you can definitively say about Elon Musk it's that most certainly does not lack ambition. The boss of SpaceX, Tesla, and The Boring Company makes more grand plans before breakfast than you have in your entire life. His most frequent muse is travel to Mars, which he has been a proponent of for a long while, but in a recent article in the journal New Space, Musk dives deep into his vision for not just a visit to Mars, but the emergence of an entire Mars society.

T-Mobile is bored of being the butt of jokes about bad cell service, and it's spending billions of dollars over the next couple years to change things. In order to catch up to the coverage of Verizon and AT&T, T-Mobile recently spent $8 billion on licenses prime low-band spectrum to improve coverage indoors and in rural areas. The new spectrum is being freed up by relocating old analog TV stations, so we were expecting to wait years for the first deployment of T-Mobile's 600MHz network. But as it happens, the first new areas should be getting service this summer -- before any new phones actually support the new frequency. Continue reading... Trending right no…

The company has been a pioneer in so many key segments, from desktops and notebook computers to tablets and smartphones.
