iPad Pro Review: Bigger, Better, And Built To Create
PC-like power and slick keyboard and stylus accessories tailor Apple’s big tablet for productivity and art—but it remains very much an iPad.

The booming fantasy sports industry is running into trouble in one of its biggest regional markets. After a month-long investigation, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is sending cease-and-desist letters to DraftKings and FanDuel—essentially banning the two sites from operating in New York.
