Today's Story Highlights

Why Jon Stewart Failed
Like a lot of folks, I'm starting to go through withdrawals because The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart dropped off the air last week. It is kind of
amazing that it was how a massive number of us actually kept up on the
news, given it wasn't a real news program. However, while the show was a
commercial success, it appeared that wasn't its only goal.

Broken Windows and 12 Hours of Missing Time
The fact that Microsoft has posted a Web page for users to "Get help
with Windows 10 upgrade and installation errors" probably is just the
latest sign that the release of its new -- and highly anticipated --
operating system has some problems that need to be resolved. It appears
things haven't been going as smoothly as the company would have liked
since Windows 10 became generally available.

Gadgets: Bacteria-Zapping Toasters, a Clicker for Cortana and Souped-Up Printers
In truth, the Nico Gerard Skyview Pinnacle is more an accessory than a
gadget, but it's so repugnant and ridiculous that it's impossible not to
include it this week. Someway, somehow, watchmaker Nico Gerard found it
prudent to create a watch that can accommodate an Apple Watch on its
band, mounted where the clasp is located. It starts at $9,300. The
Pinnacle is colossally absurd.

Teens Find Real Friends in the Online Jungle
Teens have been using digital media to create bonds that extend well
beyond playing games or tweeting, according to a study Pew Research
released Thursday. Along with likes and shares and tags and retweets
have come beefing, berating, trolling and blocking. Although a lot of
social activity appears superficial, that's not always the case. Some
long-term friendships have been forged online.

Windows 10 Raises Some Hackles
"Tablet view is showing saved porn images," wrote Reddit user
"FalloutBos." "Woke up to wife asking why I set it to rotate all my porn
images right on the desktop view. I have no idea [how] to shut that
feature off and that computer is staying shut down until I do." That
incident raised howls of laughter, but it points to one of the problems
early users of Microsoft's new OS have reported.

MyNotex Is an Almost Perfect Note Taker and Task Manager
MyNotex is one application I keep revisiting for my note-taking and
project management tasks. Italian Developer Massimo Nardello releases
one major update per year. MyNotex keeps getting better and better.
Version 1.3.1, was released in June. Nardello took what was a near-
perfect locally stored note-taking program and made it better than using
cloud-based services such as Evernote, Box or Dropbox.
