Apple's OS X Yosemite was clearly designed with high-resolution Retina displays in mind. Everywhere you look, Apple's upcoming operating system is cleaner, brighter, sharper, and just nicer to look at. But right now, only Apple's laptops would be able to showcase that software to its full potential. Thankfully it sounds like that's about to change. 9to5Mac reports that a new iMac with Retina display is in "late" testing in Cupertino, and Apple may be nearly ready to show its latest desktop to the world. The iMac would reportedly feature an incredibly sharp "5K" display, though its exact resolution isn't clear. As 9to5Mac points out, OS X Yosemite contains references to screens with resolutions of 6400 x 3600, 5760 x 3240, and 4096 x 2304, so one of those could be the winner.

Pixel density aside, the new iMac is rumored to feature an overall design that's similar to the current model. Apple's Retina display made its way to the MacBook Pro in 2012 after debuting on iPhone and iPad, but has yet to move beyond portables. Many expect OS X Yosemite to launch sometime in October; its release will likely coincide with a media event where the company may also reveal new iPads and iPods. Pricing for the new, high-res iMac is anyone's guess; it'll obviously cost more, and if history is anything to go by, expect the non-Retina models to remain available for the foreseeable future. And there's no reason they shouldn't; even without fancier screens, the current iMacs still represent a fantastic all-in-one package.

Facebook testing 'satire' tag for parody news in the feed

The top story on parody news site The Onion on Monday was titled "Area Facebook User Incredibly Stupid." It was a spoof story about a Facebooker that appears "frequently frustrated" but is really just "incredibly stupid."

While any reader on The Onion site would know this story was a joke, apparently some Facebook users are confused by real news and satire when such stories appear on their News Feeds. It's become so much of a problem that Facebook revealed Monday it's testing a "satire" tag for articles from parody news sites.

Samsung has reportedly begun testing three-sided display phone

The flexible Youm display that you could likely see this year. Samsung

If you thought the Samsung Galaxy Round was peculiar, get ready for another whole level of quirk. According to a Korean supplier of Samsung parts, the company has begun testing three-sided displays for potential application on mobile devices.

The technology has been rumored for quite some time, but it finally seems to have gained some steam, with sources claiming that such a device could go into production by the end of this year.

A three-sided display phone just might be what Kim Hyeon Jun, executive manager at Samsung's Wireless Business Division, had been foreshadowing during Samsung's second-quarter earnings conference call.

"While I cannot mention specifics, we are planning on unveiling an innovative large-screen flagship model, an attractive phone that takes advantage of cutting-edge materials," he said.

Large-scale production, however, may be further down the line. The three-sided screen will utilize a plastic substrate that is reportedly limited in quantity and difficult to work with. If released by the end of this year, it will most likely be limited to Korean audiences.
