Down at the lower left of most standard Windows PC keyboards there is a key with the Windows logo on it. It sits between the Ctrl an Alt keys to the left of the space bar. Most people know that pushing it brings up the Start menu (or toggles to the Start screen depending on your version of Windows), but the Windows key actually does a lot more than that. Microsoft just released a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts to enlighten you about all of the things you can do with the Windows Key in Windows 10.

It’s going to be a big year for video games. The fall release season gets going a week from today with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Mad Max, and then kicks into high gear in October. But even among all the high profile releases we’ll be getting in the next few months, Fallout 4 stands out. Bethesda revealed its next post-apocalyptic open world opus to a breathless world at E3 this summer, easily dominating even a very stacked news schedule, and there’s no sign that the excitement is dying down. Bethesda makes big games, both in terms of sheer amount of content, sales, and impact on the gaming world, but their marketing chief Pete Hines thinks Fallout 4 could be their biggest game yet, beating out even the landmark Skyrim.

Today, streaming service TuneIn is launching a brand new product, TuneIn Premium, which the company hopes will attract those hard-to-reach but very valuable consumers that don’t mind paying upwards of ten dollars a month for their music access.

A recent University of Tennessee-sponsored survey of leading supply chain executives helped quantify the continued apathy surrounding the proper assessment and management of supply chain risk. For starters, the survey found that none of the companies surveyed use third parties to independently assess their risk, 90 percent don’t even quantify the risk themselves, and while 66 percent acknowledged the existence of corporate officers focused on managing legal compliance, none of these same professionals touched the supply chain.
