From the Wall Street Journal:
The company mistakenly has been underestimating the number of readers using the News app since its launch, and passing that inaccurate information on to publishers.
A lot of problems have to be addressed: Getting content fast, aggregating, sorting and ranking it. Then synchronizing it to the customer’s device as fast as possible. Then getting the customer’s usage informations in an anonymized way, then provide it back to the publishers. Then there is advertisement, matching the right ad to the right audience. Then there is billing...
The News app is still in its infancy, but from my experience, Apple really listens to the (small) publishers.

Gregg Keizer writing for ComputerWorld:
On Jan. 12, Microsoft will serve up the final security updates for all instances of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and IE8 and for most of the copies of IE9 and IE10 now on customers’ PCs.
From the Microsoft Blog, a year and a half ago:
After January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates. For example, customers using Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, or Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 SP1 should migrate to Internet Explorer 11 to continue receiving security updates and technical support. For more details regarding support timelines on Windows and Windows Embedded, see the Microsoft Support Lifecycle site.
