Remember when Facebook played with your emotions and made you mad? OK, that’s every day. But back in July, the social network revealed that it had by showing some users more positive posts and others more negative ones. The resulting outrage prompted Facebook to change its research policy, but its self-imposed restrictions don’t go far enough to appease anyone. The network said Thursday that it researches all kinds of things and isn’t going to stop, but it plans to be more responsible. As part of that effort, Facebook is making a series of changes, like enhanced reviews of research projects that study emotions or affect specific groups of people. That means an experiment like the week-long study on positive and negative Facebook posts would have gone through extra scrutiny, though the network didn’t say what kinds of research would be up for debate.

Microsoft’s stripped-down version of Windows 8 is coming to the Intel Galileo Gen2 developer board. The board, which started shipping in August, is used in smart devices, robots and Internet-connected appliances that run on Windows. Do-it-yourself enthusiasts, also called “makers,” are big fans of developer boards, often using them to make experimental devices. But Microsoft hopes the maker community will come up with ideas that will put Windows into more products. Thus, Thursday’s announcement that Windows for Galileo Gen2 is available for download from Microsoft’s The stripped-down OS was used with the original Galileo board, which developers put in a smart fan, a piano that connects to Microsoft’s Azure cloud service, and a robot that will deliver drinks to a specific room.

Booksellers have met with European Commission officials to discuss their concerns that Amazon holds a monopoly in the online book market. The booksellers urged the Commission to make sure that consumers will have a rich and diversified online book offering, said Françoise Dubruille, director of the European and International Booksellers Federation (EIBF), the umbrella organization for the EU’s national booksellers associations. The group met this week with Despina Spanou, director for consumer policy at the European Commission, she said. “In the end, if you only have one big retailer on the market like Amazon, this retailer will impose its bargaining, its rebate and its commercial conditions on the publishers. And if publishers have limited choice in retail channels they will be squeezed by that giant retailer,” Dubruille said.

Microsoft puzzled the world on Tuesday when it said the version of Windows to succeed Windows 8.1 would be dubbed At the Windows 10 debut, Microsoft said it "wouldn't be right" to call the new version Windows 9 given its importance—a claim that pretty much no one swallowed. Even for Microsoft's notoriously bizarre marketing history skipping the number 9 entirely is just plain But now a far more plausible answer has surfaced to the question "Why Windows 10?" A Redditor named

Many organizations have embraced the concept of BYOD (bring your own device), allowing employees to use their own personal smartphones and tablets at work. A new survey from BitDefender, however, suggests that BYOD policies and controls have a long way to go in order to be more secure. The BitDefender study, conducted by Millward Brown, surveyed 1,045 Internet users in the United States, aged 18 and over, during August of 2014. The results of the survey should be a wake-up call for companies to examine their BYOD policies, and ensure that adequate security controls are in place to safeguard corporate data and resources. Based on the survey responses, it seems that BYOD has transcended from a trendy buzzword to an accepted norm. The concept of connecting personal mobile devices to a company network or data is widely accepted, and half of the employees who are allowed to use their own smartphone, tablet, or laptop take advantage of that policy.
