Android VR Want an upgrade to your Google Cardboard? Tweets from Peter Rojas say that a new untethered VR headset is coming from Android next week—which coincides with Google's I/O event. Rojas, an entrepreneur-in-residence at venture capital firm and incubator Betaworks, also tweeted that the headset "will be less powerful than Vive or Rift."

Installing the code will take a bit of understanding—and Facebook actually means for the platform to be used by schools and non-profits to help students gain the skills they'll need around online security.

Drone Laws Arizona is just the latest state to pass a law around the use of drones. The new legislation, primarily, forbids cities and towns from creating their own guidelines. What is the essence of the new law? You can't obstruct fire and police from doing their jobs, and cities with at least once park must allow residents to fly drones in one of them.
