Live photos and a video of alleged iPad Mini 4 has surfaced online. The photos that are posted by French website Nowehereelse show “iPad mini 4″ chassis, packing a design that brings it closer to the iPad Air 2.
The leaked housing also features a single row 10 holes on either side for speaker. Other images show alleged iPad mini 4 chassis where there is a cut-out at the top where a cellular LTE modem. It is expected that Apple will keep the 7.9-inch Retina display on the iPad Mini 4 and likely make it even slimmer.
In addition, the lock switch has been removed from the iPad mini 4 and replaced by a tiny hole most likely for a microphone. Apple might continue with the A8x chip for the iPad Mini 4 or there can be a possibility that Apple could make a direct jump to A9 chip. There is no word on when Apple may announced the new iPad mini.

Introduction
When Google announced the Nexus 6, there were two main issues that customers complained about. One was the pricing which was unusually high for a Nexus phone and secondly its size. The device housed a 6 inch display and made it one of the biggest phones on the market. While phablets are getting more and more in demand these days, 6 inch is still considered to be quite big unless you’ve bezels as slim as LG has managed on their G2/G3 and the Sharp Crystal series. That is why most manufacturers such as Samsung haven’t gone beyond 5.5” or 5.7” for their phablets fearing it may be deemed too large.
The Nexus 6 is a powerhouse of a smartphone but because of it’s size many people were put off. That’s when Motorola announced the DROID Turbo under the Verizon network in USA. Because of the close association with Google and the near stock UI experience that Motorola carry, many hailed it to be the Nexus 6 that was actually supposed to be. But the downside was that it was restricted to customers in the US alone.Motorola launched the handset under the moniker of Moto Maxx in Mexico later on but still ...

The latest version of the RealSense camera is smaller and thinner. Krzanich showcased how the camera fits into a smartphone. He further showed how a tablet integrated with a RealSense depth camera can help determine which size box is necessary to help ship or store products. Krzanich also displayed a Windows 10 powered tablet that signed him into a program merely by scanning his face with a RealSense camera. Intel says that the RealSense cameras can provide intuitive, vision-based capabilities for solving complex problems and delivering exciting new usages and capabilities across a variety of form factors.
Moving on, Intel also announced that it will expand in the Internet of Things sector, with its upcoming Atom X3 processor, codenamed “SoFIA”. It also discussed the roadmap with the addition of 3G and LTE processors for the Internet of Things. Intel will expand the program to include the Intel Atom x5 processor to help reduce customers' cost and time to market for Intel-based tablets. Finally, Intel also announced the Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron processors (code-named "Braswell"), the next-generation system-on-chip (SoC) based on Intel's 14nm ...

It seems like Google is working on a teleconferencing service. Dubbed as GMeet, the service will allow users to schedule or join a conference call with just one click.
This service was first spotted by Google+ user Florian Kiersch. With the help of GMeet, a user could create a meeting topic in GMeet, then invite everyone else to the call. People who received an invite would be able to then join the call with a single click. These screeshots are of an Android App, however Kiersch claims that the company also working on building a GMeet Chrome extension.
Florien claims that the service is only open to Google employees, but it's unclear if GMeet is intended solely for Google employee use. It is not clear is the GMeet app is for consumers at general or if it will be a enterprise product. Google Meet would work in a similar way as Google Hangouts, allowing for voice and/or video calls to be conducted over the service.
