Apple iCloud photo libraries will soon be viewable in Windows
It should soon be much easier to access your iPhone's photo collection on a Windows-based PC.

The death of Internet Explorer: Good riddance to bad rubbish
Today, at long last, Microsoft is officially ending support for Internet Explorer. Goodbye and good riddance to the most annoying web browser of them all. Back in 1993 when I wrote the first story about this newfangled thing called the WEB, I knew it would be big. That’s more than Bill Gates thought about it at the time.
