Android N will reportedly bring '3D Touch' to Android handsets

Android users with a bit of iPhone 6S FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) will be happy to know that the '3D Touch' feature is part of the new Android N OS, at least for upcoming handsets that can support the feature. Similar to the 3D Touch that is one of the key features on the iPhone 6S, additional pressure on the display will invoke secondary menus and options which can make it easier to get to functions of certain apps without necessarily having to open those apps. 

Expected to be announced at Google I/O 2016, the new feature will enable more efficient access to apps and their features when enabled.

Apple to end support for Quicktime on Windows, time to uninstall

If there's one thing you need to remember when a company decides to end support for a product, you would need to move on to a different one. Ending support means said product would be left vulnerable to attacks by hackers. And that's what both Trend Micro and the US Department of Homeland Security's Computer Emergency Readiness Team wants to remind Windows PC users still running Quicktime. Apple will be ending support for the Windows version, meaning security updates won't be heading the way of that product soon. Also, the security firm found two "critical vulnerabilities" that could give hackers an even easier access to your PC.
