The screenshot was soon removed form the iTunes store but, The Verge reports that the screen still exists on Apple’s servers!
Not all is lost!
The only information that has been confirmed form the screen shot is that the next iPad “will have Touch ID”. From the images nothing else is reviled such as the screen size or the processor. Also, according to the images the design looks similar, if not the same to it’s predecessor.

Nexus 9 – Google’s latest android tablet
Earlier today Google released their new Nexus branded devices. They released their Nexus 9 along with the Nexus 6 phone and the first device with Android TV, the Nexus Player! The next update to the Android operating system, Android “L” has been confirmed to be “Lollipop”.
Just like the Nexus 6, The Nexus 9 is nothing like it’s predecessor. Has rumored the Nexus 9 will be manufactured by HTC! The tablet has a almost 9″ (8.9″) display with a 2048 by 1536 QXGA display with a 4:3 aspect ratio and Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3. The Nexus 9 is rocking an NVIDIA Tegra K1 Dual Denver at 2.3GHz, the Tegra K1 is a 64-bit ready processor and along with Android “L” or “Lollipop” which now also supports 64-bit makes the Nexus 9 the first Android device to come with both hardware and software supporting 64-bit. Nexus 9 is still not a “true” 64-bit device because, It needs a least 3GBs of R.A.M. to be considered 64-bit device. The GPU on the Nexus 9 is also impressive with a 192-core Kepler GPU! Even though you should never take pictures on your tablet the Nexus 9 has a 8 Megapixel rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash. The front facing camera is only 1.6 Megapixels. The Nexus 9 supports 802.11ac 2×2 (MIMO) Wi-Fi along with NFC and Bluetooth 4.1. The LTE version of the Nexus 9 supports the following bands:
Quad-band GSM, CDMA, Penta-band HSPA, LTE
UPDATE Oct 16th, 2014:
The Nexus 9 is available in Indigo Black (Black), Lunar White (White), Sand (Gold). You can pre-order the tablet now in the following versions:

Nexus 6 – Google’s flagship high-end phone!
Earlier today Google released their new Nexus branded devices. They released their Nexus 6 along with the Nexus 9 tablet and the first device with Android TV, the Nexus Player! The next update to the Android operating system, Android “L” has been confirmed to be “Lollipop”.
The Nexus 6 is nothing like it’s predecessors. Nexus devices have been known to have not the greatest specs but, Be really in-expensive.
This years’ Nexus phone is not cheap nor it’s low end. As rumored, The next Nexus is going to be made by Motorola with a design like the new Moto X. It’s rocking an 16:9, 9:16; 5.96″ 2560×1440 QHD AMOLED display with a pixel density of 493 ppi with a Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 display! The display is of-course not the only items that has been upgraded; To cut back on the cost the Nexus 5 was not the best device for taking pictures but, This one is. With a 13 Megapixel rear facing camera with optical image stabilization and a Dual LED rind flash. The camera can capture of-course 13 megapixel photos but, It can also record 4K video at 30fps. The Front camera is not that impressive as most phones with a 2 megapixel senser and the ability to do HD video conferencing. The biggest change is the processor, Which is now rocks aQualcomm Snapdragon 805 with a Adreno 420 GPU! It also has what should be a standard in all phones is Dual front-facing speakers. Now since more and more U.S. carriers are moving towards non-unlimited data plans so, Something that is really useful is the 802.11ac 2×2 (MIMO), Bluetooth 4.1 and, NFC chips. Taking about U.S. carriers, It supports most of them. The North America version supports the following bands:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MH
CDMA Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE Bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41
CA DL Bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B29
The international or the phone that is sold in the rest of the world supports the following bands:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
CDMA: not supported
WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19
LTE Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/9/19/20/28/41
CA DL: B3-B5, B3-B8
This will be available in 32GB and 64GB capacity. Choose the one that’s suitable for your needs because, There is still no Micro-SD card slot. All models have a 3220mAh with Qi wireless charging! The phones start at $649 (off-contract) for 32GB and $699 for 64GB (off-contract).
Pre-orders for the Nexus 6 Start late October.

If you were planing on uploading a video about anything that has to do something with Windows than, you might want to wait until this is fixed. Microsoft has said nothing about this right now…
UPDATE Oct. 14 2014, 11:50 P.M. : Microsoft has said that the videos that were removed included infringement of copyright in the comment section by users posting Product Keys. It doesn’t matter if the infringement was in the video itself or not. This problem is currently being fixed.
Windows 10 is out! Download it today!
