When the Internet runs out of news, it starts making things up. We think this is funny, so we round up all the lies and speculation and put them here. We call it the "Rumor Roundup" and we do it all for you! This week:

Nintendo NX Controller
  • Is This the Controller for the Next-Gen Nintendo Console? (See above)
    It's too round to be a H.E.R.B.I.E. head, but has too many buttons to be a rearview mirror... so it must be a new controller! [Niche Gamer]

  • Is YouTube Going to Offer Live-Streaming Video From Your Smartphone?
    With so many options like Periscope, Facebook, Meerkat, and now "YouTube Connect" offering live-streams, there's a whole new world of exciting content for me to ignore! But seriously... the one that'll get my attention is the one that doesn't count against my monthly data cap. [Android Authority]

Google iOS Keyboard
  • Is Google Designing A Special Keyboard For iOS Devices?

  • Did Uber Order 100,000 Self-Driving Cars?
    So that the transition from real driver to robot driver isn't a shock to its users, Uber will program the cars to ask you very personal, often barrier-crossing questions about your political beliefs and or relationships. [Gas2]

  • Is Microsoft Exploring a Buyback Program for Digital Games?
    It's not like they can re-sell that digital game, so why would they do this? *Affixes tinfoil hat* Because they are taking a gamble that you will, later, regret selling a game off and re-buy it! Now they got 90% more money out of you! But, no, a giant company would never think that way. Uh-uh... [Softpedia]
