Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spotted using the Surface Duo smartphone

We don't have a specific release date outside of "Holiday 2020" for Microsoft's dual-screen phone, but at least we know there's a working prototype out there. The company's CEO Satya Nadella is spotted with the Surface Duo while he was talking with the editor of Yahoo Finance Brian Sozzi. It isn't a great look at the device, unfortunately. 

The Surface Duo is a foldable, Android-powered device, which has been skinned to work more in line with Window's design.

Google has started testing Stadia on other Android phones

Google has already been quietly running public tests for its Stadia on non-Pixel Android phones. Several users claimed they could stream Stadia games on devices like the OnePlus 6T, Samsung Galaxy 10e, and Samsung Galaxy Note 9, to name a few.

It's a notable development since the game streaming service was only available on Google Pixel phones when it launched in November. But the company has promised then to bring support to other devices outside of the Pixel line, without giving a specific timeline, though.

Microsoft to stop support for Windows 7 on January 14th

The day has come. Microsoft will finally stop support for millions of computers that are still running Windows 7 on Tuesday, January 14. The end of support means these machines will no longer receive software updates that could prevent viruses or malware.

"While you could continue to use your PC running Windows 7, without continued software and security updates, it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware," Microsoft says on its website. "In addition, Microsoft customer service will no longer be available to provide Windows 7 technical support."

If you were holding out hope for Robert Downey Jr. to take on his now-iconic role as Iron Man, we're sorry to say, but he doesn't seem to be up for that anymore. In an interview with Parade, the actor said, "The war for me is over." Downey is focusing on the release of his new film Dolittle and looking for new roles. He added, "I personally have alighted to greener pastures." One of his latest projects is hosting a YouTube Originals learning series called The Age of A.I. 

And while the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has introduced the idea of time travel and the multiverse, Downey told Extra in a separate interview that you never know what's going to happen, but he's done. "I hung up my guns and I'm good to let it go. I also think Marvel is on this journey now and they're trying a bunch of other stuff, and I'm excited for them to see how all that goes. It's hard to project." Some of the upcoming MCU titles include Black Widow, The Eternals, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. There are also the TV shows coming to Disney+ like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision.
