Sprint’s eggplant-colored Galaxy S III must have proven a hit, as the carrier is already following up with a version of the Galaxy S 4 in Purple Mirage. Like its ancestor, the purple GS4 is strictly a palette swap; the $200 you pay on contract still gets you a 16GB version of Samsung’s familiar 2013 flagship, just in a more vibrant shade. If you’re tired of conservative smartphone colors, though, you could do far worse than to buy Sprint’s latest royal-hued smartphone… especially if you’re a platinum-selling rocker from Minnesota.

Starting next month, Sprint loyalists will likely be able to get their paws around the Galaxy S 4. Or, if the budget has been a bit tight, a brand new Galaxy S III. The image above has been posted by the typically-reliable evleaks, showing off a heretofore unannounced purple edition of one of Samsung’s cash cows. We aren’t given too many details beyond a proposed April ship date, but one can only expect it to be offered for a song given the imminent arrival of its successor. To date, the GS III has been issued in red, white, grey, brown and black — clearly, the only thing missing is a version that Willy Wonka himself would endorse.

In Tucson, Arizona, locals have discovered a strange collection of purple spheres in the middle of the desert. It’s not yet certain what these spheres are, but analyses are being made to ascertain their exact nature.
Geraldine Vargas and her husband were taking a walk when they came upon the spheres. Some of the spheres were watery while others were translucent. When poked, they let out a watery substance. Some scientists have speculated that the spheres could be a slime mold or jelly fungus. It’s also possible that it’s a man-made product for plant hydration.
One thing is for sure, these spheres aren’t from outer space as some have theorized. They were localized and seemed to ooze out of the ground.
