You can say a lot of negative things about Kanye. He’s egotistical. He has an inflated and borderline-delusional sense of entitlement. And of course, the fact that he married Kim Kardashian only makes it that much easier to poke fun at Mr. West.

All the same, even if you happen to be a Kanye hater, there’s simply no denying that the man is a hit maker. And we’re not just talking about the fact that many of his songs get a lot of radio play. Many of his songs, with Gold Digger being a prime example, are permanently etched into the tapestry of our musical consciousness. In other words, Kanye’s catalog of music stands the test of time, an impressive feat given how fickle the world of music can be.

In just over a month, James Bond will return to the movie screen. Other than the disaster that was Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig’s tenure as the smoothest secret agent in the world has been an incredibly successful one — success which director Sam Mendes hopes to replicate with Spectre in November.

Can BlackBerry make it as an Android vendor? It had better hope so because its own smartphone sales keep getting worse and worse. The once-mighty smartphone pioneer revealed on Friday (PDF) that it recognized hardware revenue on just 800,000 smartphones sold on the quarter with an average selling price of $240. It goes without saying that this is a very, very bad number for hardware sales — Apple is going to sell significantly more iPhones today alone. Whatever BlackBerry 10’s merits as a platform, it seems smartphone users are staying away from it in droves and that only a small slice of diehards are still buying new devices.

Stargazers are in for a treat Sunday when a supermoon combines with a lunar eclipse for the first time since 1982.

The supermoon eclipse will last 1 hour and 11 minutes, and will be visible to North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific, according to NASA. Weather permitting, the supermoon will be visible after nightfall, and the eclipse will cast it into shadow beginning at 8:11 p.m. ET. The total eclipse starts at 10:11 p.m. ET, peaking at 10:47 p.m. ET.

A rare phenomenon, there have only been five supermoon eclipses since 1900 (in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964 and 1982). After Sunday, the next supermoon eclipse will occur in 2033.

But it turns out the Touch ID is a lot faster than its predecessor, which might further improve your overall iOS experience.

The cheapest iPhone 6s costs $650, but it’s really not worth the money. Why? Because it has just 16GB of storage, which is woefully small for modern smartphone users’ needs, particularly when we consider that Apple has added 4K video recording capabilities to the iPhone 6s. iOS developer David Smith has written the definitive essay on why the 16GB iPhone 6s offers a flat-out bad experience to users, even though it certainly helps Apple keep up the iPhone’s average selling price.

You need to drop everything you’re doing and watch this video immediately. Daredevil Graham Dickinson recently took a jaunt over to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, jumped off a cliff, shouted out “Vive le France!”, and then proceeded to fly through a forrest in an insane video that has to be seen to be believed.
