All the Nexus 6P details leaked in review document

While a few days away from launch (and likely, subsequent short online supplies), Google's newest Nexus devices have already been leaked in various renders and documents, but not like this. A complete reviewer's guide was leaked recently and made available on Imgur

Designed to focus on talking points for product reviewers, the document explains and confirms many of the features coming to the Nexus 6P including a unibody construction, fingerprint reader, improved camera and sensors, USB Type-C charging port and Android Marshmallow preinstalled. What isn't discussed in the document is the price, which will be the biggest factor whether users will flock to the new Nexus devices or consider other mid-range options from the likes of Motorola, HTC, OnePlus and others.

Zulip is your open source alternative to Hipchat and Slack

Are you in need of a communications client for you and your team? Zulip is a free, open source option from Dropbox. The service doesn’t just let you chat with your co-workers; it also has integration with outside services. It even lets you share files and customize notifications, among many other features. You would, however, need someone on your team that can host their own server on an Ubuntu machine. If you have that up and running, Zulip then gives you access to clients for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac.
