Today's Story Highlights

Windows RIP: Thankfully It Died With Windows 8
As we approach the end of the free Windows 10 upgrades and get used to
the anniversary edition, it suddenly hit me the Windows we knew died
with Windows 8 -- what we got with Windows 10 really isn't what we've
come to know as Windows. Hell, looking at Microsoft's latest financials,
Microsoft really isn't Microsoft any more, either. Both are very
different from what they were just last decade.

Snapchat's Curious About-Face
Fleeting memories will be a thing of the past with a new Snapchat
feature currently rolling out. "Memories," introduced earlier this
month, allows users of the app to save photos and photo stories to their
phones, as well as share them with friends. Finding snaps or stories can
be done with a simple text search. Protecting snaps and stories on a
phone is easy, too.

Android, Chromebook Make a Sweet Couple
Chrome OS and Android Apps now run together on some Chromebooks. Many,
but not all, Chromebook models will get the operating system update that
allows it as fall approaches. The Asus Chromebook Flip C100P -- the
first Chromebook to get the upgrade -- is an impressive example of what
will come with the hybrid integration of Chrome OS and Android apps.

Civil Rights Office Issues Ransomware Guidance
Ransomware infections are on the rise, and healthcare organizations are
ripe targets, which may be why the federal government addressed the
subject last week. Ransomware attacks have risen from about 1,000 a day
last year to 4,000 a day this year, Symantec has reported. Many of those
attacks are for small change, but some of the larger ones have been
directed at healthcare providers.
