Edge is replacing IE and is the default browser for Windows 10. IE is included in Windows 10, but it is buried in the Windows Accessories folder in the Start menu. The current version of IE is 11 and that will be the last. Microsoft will support IE until Jan 2016.

It's not staged, it's just a parking lot or something. It's mentioned directly in the article which it seems that most people have not even read:

"They demonstrated as much on the same day as my traumatic experience on I-64; After narrowly averting death by semi-trailer, I managed to roll the lame Jeep down an exit ramp, re-engaged the transmission by turning the ignition off and on, and found an empty lot where I could safely continue the experiment.

Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether. The most disturbing maneuver came when they cut the Jeep’s brakes, leaving me frantically pumping the pedal as the 2-ton SUV slid uncontrollably into a ditch."

Digg Reader is an excellent replacement. It's very similar in execution, but you do need to sign up using a Google, Facebook, or Twitter account.

That's actually an excellent point. Through a partnership with Uber, Microsoft could offer very up-to-date street imaging that Google wouldn't be able to match (at this point anyway).

Depression in the workforce causes reduced productivity and substantial amounts of money on a national level. The CDC estimations that it causes 200 million lost workdays each year which costs employers between $17 to $44 billion alone. It's in an organization's interest to have healthy employees; both mentally and physically.

It's broken on Windows + Firefox as well. Works fine in IE though.

There is a lot of editorial guidance for many of the more popular blog sites including the Gawker network. Most of the popular blogs, outside of one-man operations, work in a similar manner.

It never did. It's always been an optional update.
