| Today's Top 3 Stories | | #1 | Sony Postpones Earnings Call Due To Sony Pictures Hack
| | | Sony has postponed its quarterly earnings report by a month and a half due to the cyberattack on Sony Pictures in November 2014, the company announced Friday. (Mashable)
Why This Is Important: Sony Pictures' financials won't be accessible until early next month, the company said, adding that the hack likely won't hold a "material" impact on its results.

| | #2 | Review: Google Nexus 9 Tablet
| | | When Google's Nexus 9 tablet first came out a few months ago, I tested it in direct comparison with the iPad Air 2. I decided Apple's tablet was the better choice for mobile computing at the time. Now that the Nexus 9 has been around a bit (and many of Android Lollipop's shortcomings have been addressed) I'm going to look at the Nexus on its own. You can consider this our definitive review. I also tested the tablet with a handy accessory: HTC's companion folio keyboard, which closes magnetically, pairs wirelessly, and offers you a physical typing experience akin to what you'd get with a laptop. (Wired)
Why This Is Important: The tablet receives high marks for its design and audio performance, but loses points for its lagging speed and the buggy add-on keyboard.

| | #3 | With PlayStation Now, Sony Proves That Game Streaming Works
| | | When Sony launched its PlayStation Now service as a beta last year, the ridiculous per-game rental pricing structure stopped us from giving it any serious consideration almost immediately. Last week, though, the service graduated from beta with a more feasible all-you-can-play subscription plan. Suddenly this was an opportunity. Has the idea of running games on remote servers advanced at all since OnLive's ahead-of-its-time launch back in 2010? (Ars Technica)
Why This Is Important: Although the bandwidth necessary for a decent performance is a bit higher than what Sony promotes, the try-before-you-buy service is ideal for gamers who want to explore new titles.
