Microsoft Surface Book is nearly overdue for an upgrade, and it seems that this week will be the time for Microsoft to show what it has learned since last year’s release of its first laptop, as a most innovative hybrid 2-in-1, designed to challenge the Apple MacBook Pro.

At merely few days away from this week’s Apple event, MacBook fans are expecting some major announcements, following rumors based on predictions made by KGI Securities top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

A less frequent, but nonetheless potential threat to systems, regardless whether they run Windows 10, Linux or macOS, is MBR-based ransomware. MBR stands for Master Boot Record, which is the very first sector of a hard drive.

Apple has finally announced the official date for its upcoming keynote, October 27th, incidentally the day after Microsoft’s own event, and chances are, it’s far from coincidental.
