"When we reviewed OS X El Capitan last year, we wondered why Apple had yet to bring Siri, its digital assistant, to the desktop. It's one year later, and Apple has obliged with macOS Sierra 10.12 (available now), the latest free annual update to the operating system. While some may be confused by Apple's name change for the OS (from OS X to macOS), that change is more than just cosmetic."

Yahoo warns users at least 500 million accounts were hacked - CNET
"Yahoo revealed that at least half a billion of its users were hacked from a 2014 leak.
The breach exposed up to 500 million accounts' names, email addresses, phone numbers, date of births, and in some cases, security questions and answers, the company said.
The internet pioneer said it's "working closely with law enforcement" on the breach, and believe that it was from a "state-sponsored actor," though it did not specify what country.
Yahoo is urging its users who haven't changed their passwords since 2014 to do so.
Verizon, which had purchased Yahoo for $4.83 billion in July, said it was notified of the massive breach within the last two days. The telecommunications giant said it had "limited information and understanding of the impact" in a statement.
"We will evaluate as the investigation continues through the lens of overall Verizon interests, including consumers, customers, shareholders and related communities," Verizon said.
On August 1, a hacker named "Peace" claimed to have breached 200 million Yahoo usernames and passwords, and offered to sell them on the dark web, after trying to do the same with MySpace and LinkedIn accounts."

Surface Pro 3 plagued by yet another battery problem | InfoWorld
"Remember the Simplo battery problem in Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 -- the one that many in the press called “batterygate”? It’s back with a vengeance. This time it’s hitting the other, more common battery found in the Surface Pro 3, the one from LGC.
Moreover, in a spectacular display of batt-fratricide, it looks like the new LGC battery problem was caused, or at least exacerbated, by the patch that fixed the Simplo battery. Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Answers forum community moderator Barb Bowman tweets:
It looks like the @Surface Pro 3 Simplo battery firmware fix is causing issues for LGC batteries. Microsoft is silent."
