Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say.

The company also has plans to make texting easier, and might be changing the font on the Mac for the first time ever. Some apps like Uber already use similar technology to the new card-scanning option, allowing you to hold your credit card up to your phone and get the
