If you've watched the Apple Event Today, then you know Apple has announced the iPad Pro Mini or the iPad Pro 9.7 inch. Overall this is no different than your regular iPad. what separates this iPad from the iPad Air is the iPad Pro 9.7 has an Active Digitzer for the Stylus. that's it. nothing more nothing less. Also Apple has announced the iPhone SE (an iPhone 5S like device) it's basically a Budget iPhone similar to the 5C. with about the same specs as the 5S with a 64-Bit Processor and a somewhat better resolution screen.

Android N is the successor to Android Marshmallow which is supposed to address a lot of user complaints like Multi Tasking, and some added optimizations of Memory. it will have proper mouse and keyboard support as well. If you have a Nexus device (5X, 6, 6P 9, or Pixel-C) you can try out this update. and it's looking promising. the Update has been out for a few weeks and is constantly getting updated. there is strong rumors suggesting these features are being added to replace ChromeOS and the way ChromeOS is going, it could be true.

In all fairness you have to click on a website to get hacked for this to work, but the hack works. this effects users of Android 2.0 to 4.0 and Android 5.0 to 5.1. which is about 275 Million Devices. the hack is similar to the text message hack that effects about a billion devices. basically what this hack is capable of doing is taking full control of the device from a remote area when activate. which is insane and goes back to Google for not getting their head out their ass for keeping up on Service providers and Manufacturers into updating devices. stuff like this is one of the reasons why if your a tech savvy person you should choose a Nexus device has your primary phone.

Yes and no, the architecture of Maxwell can't support it, but the hardware can virtualize it. (one of the reasons Nvidia gets rekt in Ashes of Singularity) Pascal is supposed to fix it.

Shameless self bump to inform the greater good.
