We’re calling on Microsoft to take action and honour the rights of consumers who have been adversely affected by the Windows 10 upgrade.
Considering it is used on over 90% of PCs worldwide, you’d have thought that Microsoft would take great care when updating Windows. But we’ve received a litany of complaints about Windows 10, including that it was forcefully installed without consent.
Call of Duty 3 is probably the low point in the COD saga; it was a buggy, buggy game, and I’m curious if any of that has been fixed over time. Probably not.
Microsoft makes MIDI enhancements in Windows 10
I’m old-school enough that I read that as “MDI Enhancements in Windows 10” and got a little bit excited. Look it up. Anyway, Microsoft explains:
Windows has had built-in MIDI support going back to the 16-bit days. Since then, most MIDI interfaces have moved to USB and our in-box support has kept pace, with a class driver and APIs that support those new interfaces.

There were rumors yesterday that Apple was in talks to buy the luxury car maker McLaren. Yeah, that was fake.
“There’s no takeover, no strategic investment,” a McLaren spokesperson told Business Insider. “It’s completely untrue.”
However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that Apple hasn’t considered McLaren an acquisition target in the past and certainly doesn’t mean the Cupertino-based giant won’t approach the supercar maker in the future.

Google Maps update adds “blue beam” navigation
Yes, Windows Maps already has this feature. No, no one uses Windows Maps. Google announces:
One of the basic features of the Google Maps app is the ability to open the app and find out which direction you’re facing in a matter of seconds. To make orienting yourself even easier in Google Maps for Android, we’ve replaced the direction arrow on your blue dot with a shining blue beam – think of it as a flashlight guiding your travels.
The beam also tells you how accurate your phone’s direction is at any given time. The narrower the beam, the more accurate the direction. The wider the beam, the more likely it is that your your phone’s compass is temporarily uncalibrated, which means that its sensors aren’t working as they should be. This can happen by doing something as simple as charging your phone or walking by a metal pole, which most of us do everyday. Thankfully, there’s a really easy fix. Any time you want to get back on track – not just when you see a prompt or notification – simply move your phone in a figure 8 motion a few times. This should immediately result in a more accurate direction.
Yes, Windows/HERE Maps has also had that feature for a while now too.
