  • Google to Launch Android TV - Google is close to debuting Android TV, an Android-powered platform that will compete directly with the Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.

  • Five-Year-Old Boy Discovers Microsoft Xbox One Security Flaw - Kristoffer Von Hassel, a 5 year old, discovered a security flaw with Microsoft's Xbox One that allowed him to log into his father's account.
  • Bing Is Here To Stay - Every couple of months, new rumors about Microsoft trying to sell off its Bing search engine pop up.
