  • Ever been frustrated with Instagram when it doesn’t let you tag your friends in video clips? The social network may be about to change that as it’s currently testing a way to link your friends accounts to the videos you post.

  • Microsoft has unleashed a new cumulative update for Windows 10, aimed at improving the reliability of Windows Update components (funnily enough), although it’s not for those on the latest version of Microsoft’s desktop OS.

  • Perhaps the most important invention in this book is his boat of mechanical musicians, which is sometimes referred to as the world’s first programmable robot. The bucket then tipped a stream of water over a water wheel that rotated a shaft, which both moved the boat and the automata musicians on board.
