A new #Windows Defender Security Center will be included in #Microsoft’s Creators Update

Ever since Windows 8, Microsoft’s control panel and software settings have been split between the old Windows 7 Control Panel-style interface and the newer Settings pages that debuted in Windows 8 and Windows 10. The company has slowly been working to unify these disparate pages and options for adjusting system settings. Windows 10’s upcoming Creators Update will take this a step further, with the introduction of a new Windows Defender Security Center. It’s designed to simplify and unify all the various security settings of Windows in the same place. In that sense, it’s somewhat analogous to the Action Center that Microsoft debuted back in Windows XP SP2.

The new security center will include the following settings:

Virus and threat protection: All antivirus product information will be handled from the Windows Defender Security Center, whether you use Microsoft’s own Windows Defender or a third-party application of your own choosing.

Device performance and health: This section will give you a single-page overview of installed Windows updates, drivers, battery life, and storage capacity. It will also offer an option to restore or refresh Windows (keeping some personal files, but dumping applications and non-personal data to provide a “fresh” Windows installation). Once upon a time, this was practically mandatory to keep Windows working well, but it’s still nice to have the option if you need it.

Firewall & Network protection: Information about network security, Windows Firewall settings, and network troubleshooting will all be linked here. It’s not clear if this directly replaces the “Networking” button in the older Control Panel settings or if it offers a different way of accessing the same information.

App & Browser Control: This allows for manual tuning of SmartScreen settings. SmartScreen is good, but it isn’t perfect — this section allows you to adjust settings on a case-by-case basis.

Family Options: Parental controls, screen time timers, and reports on kid’s online activity will all be gathered here. Health and safety of family devices can also be viewed here (It’s not clear which devices are covered by this option).

The only quibble I have with Microsoft’s UI and layout is the company’s stubborn insistence on low-density information displays. There’s nothing wrong with displaying large icons and low-density information when you’re working with tablets or smartphones. But it would be nice if Windows had some kind of feature to detect when the end user was working with a traditional monitor and could be configured to display information in a way that makes more sense for that display scenario. Assuming that the screenshot is accurate, the app wastes huge amounts of screen space.

#Kubo The ROBOT

We saw tons of new stuff at CES this year. But one thing that particularly caught our eye was Kubo, the robot that teaches kids how to code.

Kubo is a pretty simple robot – it’s about the size of a can of soda and has two wheels that allow it to roll around a desk or table. But what it lacks in advanced physical ability it makes up for in brains.

Kubo comes with its own programming language called TagTile. The language consists of puzzle pieces that fit together to give Kubo instructions. For example, you could connect three pieces together – forward, turn, then another forward. Kubo then drives over these pieces oncer to “learn” the command, then can remember and perform it without needing the pieces.

Kubo reads the puzzle pieces using an RFID technology – each piece has an individual embedded RFID tag, and Kubo itself has a reader built in.

While it sounds simple, it’s a pretty good way to teach kids the basics of programming without having them stare at a screen.

There will also be expansion packs for the TagTile language, so instead of teaching programming Kubo will be able to do teach kids things like spelling and addition and subtract. For example, imagine connecting a piece with a picture of a house to the letters H.O.U.E.S. Kubo would first travel over the House to understand that it is spelling house, then would travel over each letter – once it got to the misspelled letter, it would stop and alert the child.

Kubo is now available on Indiegogo for $169, and has already raised 40% of its goal in the first few hours. I’m traditionally hesitant to talk a product that is doing a crowdfunding campaign before they actually are shipping, but we saw a fully-functioning version of the device a few weeks ago at CES, and the company says that “production is already underway” and they are expecting to ship in Spring 2017.

Book an #UBER ride using #Google Maps

A new look

With today's updates, you'll now see more types of ride options and more actionable information. When you open ride services mode, instead of a long list of ride service providers and ride options, you’ll see the map you know and love, along with a carousel of ride service providers in your area. Just tap on your preferred provider to see a complete list of ride options and special offers or promotions.

Book an Uber ride directly within Google Maps

We’re also trying out a new integration that lets you book, complete and pay for an Uber ride without ever leaving Google Maps—even if you don’t have the Uber app installed on your device. Once you sign into your existing Uber account (or create one), you can book an Uber ride, track your driver on the map, and connect with your driver—all from within the Google Maps app. Here’s how it works:

You can even take a look at information about your destination while en route. So menus, hours and other helpful details are only a swipe away.

From booking a ride to reserving a table at a local restaurant, booking your favorite fitness class to ordering delivery for a night in, Google Maps no longer just shows you the information you're looking for. It also makes it easier to get things done in the real world — all in one place.
