I was on a boring conference call this morning and noticed I'd accumulated quite a glut of WebAppSec reading links.

So I'm not a heavy tablet user, but I did manage to snag a Nexus 7 (8GB) for free at a conference a few years ago. I use it (what I feel is lightly) for a few games, RSA soft token, email, some browsing/reading, etc. After upgrading to 5.0.2 it's been a painful beast.
