Thursday Random Stuff…

Stuff I bookmarked recently. Some off topic, some not:

iVerge – Microsoft doesn’t think Windows is important anymore
“The operating system is no longer the most important layer for us…What is most important for us is the app model and the experience.”
Maybe that’s why Win10 updates are a mess.

Here’s that hippie, pro-privacy, pro-freedom Apple y’all so love: Hong Kong protest safety app banned from iOS store
“Apple has banned an app that allows people in Hong Kong to keep track of protests and police activity in the city state, claiming such information is illegal.”
So when is Apple gonna ban Waze? OIC, it’s just big tech giving in to the Chicoms again.
