Android Lollipop 5.0 was supposed to change everything. It was supposed to inspire a revolution, a better—and better looking—Android. Instead it was a little disappointing, starting with a slow rollout, and followed by a motley parade of bugs.

At least now there's Android 5.1, and it’s so much better—at least, according to the lucky few users who have it on their devices. Google fixed a ton of bugs, and it also pushed through a few new helpful features that should have been bundled with Lollipop from the start. Here are five best new features of Lollipop 5.1.

Better WiFi and Bluetooth controls

When Lollipop first arrived on the scene, the Quick Settings in the Notifications shade were limited. You had to tap to navigate away to the Settings panel to get anything done, even if you simply wanted to switch Wi-Fi networks.

But with Android 5.1, you can now choose a wireless network or Bluetooth profile right from within the drop-down panel. All you have to do is tap an arrow to expand the listing.

Better Sound profiles

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve overslept because of Lollipop’s ridiculously limited sound profiles. Android 5.1 now lets you set your phone to silent—or the "None" setting—until your next alarm, so you don’t have to worry about missing a meeting the next morning. The only caveat is that the alarm has to be set for no more than 12 hours ahead of time, otherwise Lollipop won’t offer the option.

Better device protection

Phone theft is still a rampant issue, so Android 5.1 has a few new device protection features. The most powerful of the bunch prevents a thief from factory-resetting the phone without the password for the Google profile used previously on the device.

Note that this feature is available only on the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and new Android 5.1 devices.

Notifications can be flicked away

Lollipop’s little drop-down Notifications are nice at times, but the options to dismiss them were limiting. You could either wait until it disappeared, tap on it to launch the app, or swipe it away and dismiss it entirely. Now you can flick it up to shoo the notification back to the Notification drawer without dismissing it entirely. It’s a minor touch, but it makes managing your notifications much easier.

No more crappy Wi-Fi connections

This is our favorite new feature of Android 5.1: if your device connects to a Wi-Fi network with poor or no Internet access, it'll remember that and never connect to it again. This is great if you’re traveling or you’re trying to leech off of free Wi-Fi connections.

The economic costs of Nepal's devastating earthquake, which has claimed the lives of at least 3,200 people so far and injured thousands more, could exceed $5 billion, equivalent to 20 percent of the impoverished nation's gross domestic product (GDP), says IHS.

"With the death toll and total casualty estimates from the Nepal earthquake rising rapidly, the economic impact on the nation is severe," said Rajiv Biswas, chief economist, Asia-Pacific at IHS wrote in a note.

"The total long-term cost of reconstruction in Nepal using appropriate building standards for regions vulnerable to severe earthquakes could exceed $5 billion," he said.

A powerful earthquake measuring 7.8-magnitude struck an area between the capital, Kathmandu, and the city of Pokhara, around midday on Saturday, collapsing buildings and homes, toppling centuries-old cultural monuments, severely cracking roads and damaging communications infrastructure.

"The standard of housing construction in Nepal is extremely low, which is why the damage to buildings has been extremely severe," Biswas noted.

As a poverty-stricken nation, Nepal's capacity to fund disaster relief and long-term reconstruction efforts is extremely limited, said Biswas.

Nepal's per capita GDP stood at $694 in 2013, according to the World Bank, compared with $1,497 in neighboring India and $ 6,807 in China.

"A coordinated international disaster relief and long-term reconstruction program will need to be funded by bilateral assistance from donor nations and development financing agencies under the coordinated management of multilateral institutions such as the United Nations," he said.

Celebrations of the collapse of Comcast's CMCSA +0.8% $45 billion takeover of Time Warner Cable TWC -0.59% may prove short-lived. Instead of a cable sector with lower debt loads and more cash available to bear the brunt of falling subscription prices or added capital investment, U.S. consumers are now likely to get their service from increasingly leveraged providers who may not have the financial wherewithal to handle the industry’s continued upheaval and its chronic spending needs.

Conventional wisdom since Comcast launched its merger effort for Time Warner Cable in early 2014 was that the nation’s largest cable provider was seeking to use consolidation as a means to throttle the broadband speeds of choice-constrained users, jack up prices, and strong arm content providers at the negotiating table. That narrative carried the day and it’s no surprise that Comcast is now toying with abandoning its merger completely, amid objections from the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice, according to a report from Bloomberg.

However, the consolidation of the cable sector is also as much a financial story as it is one about industry organization and competitive behavior.

Those in fear of a cable monopoly or oligopoly will claim victory when and if Comcast formally abandons its Time Warner Cable bid in the face of un-winnable regulatory hurdles. But, they’ll then have to hope service and pricing improves at a time when the finances of the cable industry are becoming far more stretched.

That’s not a sure bet, especially in an era of cord cutting and spiraling content costs, particularly in sports programming.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries made an unsolicited offer to buy Mylan for about $40.1 billion, in the drug industry's largest takeover attempt this year.

Teva, the world's biggest maker of generic medicines, offered $82 a share in cash and stock, according to a statement. That's about 23 percent above Mylan's closing price April 16, the day before Bloomberg News reported Teva was considering a bid. Mylan, which says it makes about one of every 11 drugs prescribed to Americans, has said it wants to stay independent and that a combination with Teva would face antitrust hurdles.

The deal would create a generics powerhouse with more than $27 billion in revenue and re-establish Teva as the unchallenged giant in the industry. The Israeli company has lost market share to Indian manufacturers such as Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Chief Executive Officer Erez Vigodman has pledged to look for deals as Teva's best-selling product, a branded treatment for multiple sclerosis called Copaxone, faces potential competition from generics.

"The attraction for Teva is that this deal would immediately allow them to grow and reduce their exposure to the impending drop in Copaxone sales," said Sam Fazeli, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence in London. "We still would have to consider the ramifications of antitrust regulation."

Buying Mylan would restart Teva's strategy of acquiring other generic-drug makers. The company had slowed acquisitions in that area in recent years, favoring deals for branded-drug companies such as the $3.5 billion purchase, announced last month, of Auspex Pharmaceuticals Inc. That deal, the largest since Vigodman became CEO in February 2014, will give Teva medications that curb tics and other movement disorders.
