Last night I opened up my copy of Microsoft Money only to be alerted by Microsoft that they will be ending future development on the product. About ten years ago I got a free copy of Microsoft Money from a friend at Microsoft, so I made the switch from Intuit Quicken… oops. Intuit is apparently trying to cash in on the deal by advertising what appears to be a discount on their main page for existing MS Money customers....

— Gabriel Aul (@GabeAul) July 17, 2015 Windows 10 Build 10240 Update Gab Aul announced the news on Twitter late this afternoon. In a response to one Windows Insider, he said ” It will be described as a security update, but that’s just because it’s cumulative and includes the last package’s security fix.” Like we said in our post when Windows 10 build 10240 was released, you can expect several more updates and patches up until, and after the July 29th official release date....

What is Mindbloom? In a nutshell, it’s a new web-based game that helps you “decide what’s important, discover your motivation, and take meaningful action” towards improving your life. The crux of Mindbloom is the “gamification” of self-improvement. That is, it takes the familiar principles of self-examination, accountability, and goal setting and builds them into a game.

Sony Shutting Down PlayStation Vue However, even after price hikes across the board for all subscribers, Sony couldn’t make the service cost-effective. It continued to lose subscribers and had difficulty competing with similar services such as Sling TV and others. And by putting “PlayStation” in the name, most people (and potential new customers) thought it was limited to the PlayStation console only. But you didn’t need to own a PlayStation at all....
The trick is knowing the best ways to invest your spare time to save time in the future. Here are my top tips for staying productive. Keep Lecture Slides, Notes, and Memos in One Place What I noticed in one of my first weeks of tuition was how scattered everything was. Slides on Moodle. Notes in my notebook. Memos scribbled on .txt files on my desktop. Clearly a mess. But admitting the problem is the first step to solving it....
Disable Processes Causing CPU Fan to Remain Constant First, launch Task Manager, press Windows key + X > Task Manager, then click the Processes tab. Click the CPU column to sort applications and processes by CPU cycles. Below, I noticed the System Host Process regularly accessed CPU cycles at 30%, sometimes going as high as 36%. Expanding the System Host Process tree reveals quite some services running in the background. This was a trial and error; I noticed Geolocation Service was running, so I decided to disable it first....

Once it’s installed, you will be asked if you want to start with a new set of icons or keep your existing ones, as seen below. After setting the Google Now Launcher as your launcher, you’ll notice a few notable differences. The first one is on the home screen. The dividing line between the bottom app icons and folders and the rest of the screen has disappeared and the whole area is transparent....
This is a product that’s aimed at military and industrial use, considering its other specs. There’s actually a whole range of models, and the sturdiest one of them can work at temperatures between –45 and 95 degrees centigrade (between –49 and 203 Fahrenheit). Maximum transfer speeds are also pretty good – 240 MB/S – reading and 140 MB/S – writing. This all sounds good, but that’s not the most interesting thing about the RunCore InVincible SSDs – neither is the fact that the company seems to have a thing for using two capitals in the same word....
In addition TWC had to pay out over $15 million to customers who were subscribed to CBS-owned programming but were unable to access it. Would you accept just a refund for losing a month of Showtime? Apparently for some, a refund wasn’t enough to keep them connected. Was all of this just a result of the CBS blackout though? Well, the record numbers are because of the blackout. But, CNNMoney reported that only around 125,000 of the lost subscriptions were because of the blackout, and doesn’t take a genius to see that....
