Microsoft's new Internet browser is rolling out
It' still called Microsoft Edge, but it's got a whole new type of technology that's powering it. It's actually the same technology that Google uses for Chrome - they've open sourced it. It's Microsoft sort of conceding that Chrome is winning the browser war and they have more to gain by using their tech. It's seen by the industry as being highly performant, almost the standard for web rendering, but also let's people install one of millions of Chrome extensions.
We've got an answer to when we're getting the edit button for Twitter
Jack Dorsey, the CEO, said with a faint smile: "The answer is no." They're considered it, but nope. Guess we'll need to just live with the typos now.
Instagram's direct messages are coming to web
They've rolled out their first test. It's to a very small percentage of global users but it means we're one step closer to being able to chat using a proper keyboard. As someone who spends all day on a laptop, and is in too many instagram group chats, I'm excited. This first version will not be encrypted end to end - which is Facebook's plan for all its messaging services. That launch date (and how to actually do it) is still TBD.
Apple has once again been asked to unlock the iPhone of a suspected criminal
And once again they have said no. They don't want to provide a way to break the encryption of the device because they say if they do that, then other people can do that too. They have though handed over backups of the iphone which were stored on iCloud.
