Some fun and techy headlines from around the Web from the last month or so, including some more Windows 10 news, Office 2016 new features, mobile device and app news, a Mac user who contends Windows 10 is running better on his Mac than OS X, and much more. Read on for this month’s headlines.

• This is probably only fascinating for the former web developer in me, but Microsoft is revamping Internet Explorer’s rendering engine and is going to make an attempt at being standards compliant.
• Microsoft is letting the general public test out Microsoft Office 2016 and its new co-editing features.
• A fascinating read on the map-makers that help after a disaster strikes. The group activated to help during the Nepal earthquakes. “Whenever there’s a natural catastrophe, a team of “crisis mappers” activate around the world. These volunteers use crowdsourcing tools to turn satellite data into digital maps, which are then used to make decisions on the ground.”
• Windows Media Center will be going away in Windows 10, but you’ll be getting a DVD playback option. Personally, I liked Windows Media Center, and used it for quite a few years on a spare PC hooked to my TV, and am annoyed to see it get tossed.
• A Google security researcher’s article on how online ad injecting is a huge problem.
• Exploring the possibility of running Android and iOS apps on Windows: What is Microsoft doing – and will it work.
• Microsoft is moving away from the infamous Patch Tuesday and moving towards a constant stream of updates.
• Windows 10 editions and upgrades announced. Only a few versions, thankfully. It’s not as bad as in the past when Microsoft had a pile of versions for their OSes (eight for Vista for Vista, for example), but still needlessly complicated, in my opinion.
• Speaking of Windows 10, one blogger contests that the current preview version of Windows 10 runs better on his MacBook than OS X.
• Android devices get proper Microsoft Office apps, so you can now have Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on your phone or tablet. Remember you can also control your computer’s PowerPoint from your smartphone.
• Fake answers make security questions less secure.
• If you’re an eBook reader, you’ll be happy to know that Kindle is getting better typography.
