Mark Zuckerberg drops in for dinner unannounced, talks with firemen, and feeds a calf. Is he running for President, or just trying to convince us he's not secretly a robot? Apple has more than $250 billion in cash - what should it do with all that money?

Amazon's new echo has a camera, and its next one will have a touchpad. Is ubiquitous voice computing going to lead to the end of privacy forever? The Google Docs phishing attack makes us question if users are to blame. Facebook and Twitter want to be your next TV.

Windows 10 S is no less than the future of Windows. What does S stand for? You're stuck with Edge and Bing, sorry. Surface Laptop price, specs, availability. Those colors? Only on one model! Why? Just another laptop? Hardly: Surface Laptop is the most important Surface device ever. Office apps coming to Windows, Education Stores - Will everyone see this, or just EDU? Microsoft brings code writing to Minecraft: Education Edition. More about Teams for Education. Surface revenues lower than expected in latest quarter. PS4 retains 2-to-1 lead over Xbox One, but some healthy Xbox One sales estimates too.
