Project “Carmel” is the code name for the Surface Pro 6, which is really all we know about it for the time being, aside from rumors hinting to the possibility that this product will be designed to directly compete with Apple iPad Pro and Chromebook devices, by offering consumers configurations with a competitive price point that even Google might have a hard time matching, considering that the Pro 6 is expected to run the full desktop version of Windows 10.

Eerily reminiscent of “The Machine”, the all-seeing, artificially intelligent fictional supercomputer from the TV show “Person of Interest”, Summit’s architecture and sheer size flyes past any stretch of the imagination, as the hardware itself is comprised of 4,608 servers that extend through the size of two tennis courts, housing more than 9,000 22-core IBM Power9 CPUs, and 27,000 NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs.

Forget Mac vs. PC, or Android versus iPhone. The real showdown has already started, between Intel Core CPUs, and upcoming ARM-based Cortex A-series processors, for supremacy of the laptop market.

The latest comes from Reddit user BackwardsBinary, who reported a piece of malware called “mshelper”. The effect of the malicious software on a Mac isn’t immediately obvious, as it doesn't manifest itself visually to the user, in fact, gone are the days when malware would “announce itself” with annoying pop-ups, threatening messages, or by hijacking your internet browser.
