Today's Story Highlights

Apple TV May Finally Grab the Spotlight
The next version of the Apple TV set-top box could be ready for prime
time in October, priced at either $149 or $199, based on rumors
circulating Monday. The current version goes for $99. With the higher
price could come a seriously upgraded device: It will include support
for Siri, a new touchscreen remote control, and a new and more intuitive
interface.

How the Windows Phone Could Rise Up and Dominate
Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the launch of Windows 95. What
people often forget about Windows 95 is that it not only kicked Apple's
butt, but also kicked IBM's -- and it wasn't even a complete product.
The thing was an operating system. It's especially hard to imagine now
that these things typically are downloaded from the Web, and there's no
need to stand in line.

Gadget Ogling: Smart Bikes, Contactless Cards, and Roll-Up Keyboards
I never had much interest in riding a bicycle as a child, and although I
now live in a tremendously bike-friendly city, I haven't found a way to
learn without feeling like a total chump in public. Yet I am more
interested than ever in leading a life on two wheels after discovering
SmartHalo. This is a tool that attaches permanently to one's ride and
turns it into a smart vehicle.

Come September, Apple TV Will Outshine the iPhone
About Apple's September event... Apple's annual September media event is
an oxymoron -- it's become almost entirely predictable. One year it
introduces a major new iPhone redesign and the next it offers
incremental iPhone improvements. And make no mistake about it, despite
last year's Apple Watch debut, at the core of the September event is the
critically important iPhone.

Earthlings Flock to Facebook by the Billion
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday announced that for the first
time more than a billion people had used the site on a single day. The
counter hit the milestone earlier in the week, on Monday. Nearly 1.5
billion users log on at least once monthly, according to Facebook, but
Monday marked the first time that more than two-thirds of its members
used the network on the same day.
