Did you know that rapper 50 Cent had his own line of headphones? We did, we got a look at the units way back at the beginning of this year at CES 2011 - $400 headphones with some lovely features, the unit called a "Wireless Hybrid," able to work with or without a cord - the cord in place incase you run out of rechargeable power. All that's over now! It seems that 50 Cent and his G-Unit have decided that they don't agree with the path that Sleek by 50 was going down, thusly Sleek and the rap label have parted ways. Let's have a moment of silence for what was certainly going to be the most important collaboration of our time.

After Palm’s big moment last weekend, Apple once again seized the headlines with their WWDC 2009 keynote on Monday morning.
