The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft is currently developing a new line of Surface tablets, including a 7-inch version which should go into mass production later this year.

Asus has just announced the latest version of its previously awkward Padfone—but this time round, it seems that the hardware might live up to previous promises.

Some say that pets start to take after their owners, but to what extent? Will Socks start bogarting the remote? Are you going to have to pry the iPad out of Buster's paws? Actually, uhm, yeah; looks that way. It also looks adorable.
