If you thought yesterday was busy, you haven't seen anything yet. Today had back to back keynotes from Microsoft (showing off new Windows 10 features) at its Build conference, and Google's massive Google I/O keynote, where the company showed off the future of Android (along with its other products, including lots and lots of AI and machine learning projects.) 

Between Windows 10 and Android P, the announcements today will likely affect how you interact with at least some of your computing devices (unless you're exclusively an Apple user, in which case tune in next month.) Let's dive right in!
