HP introduces new devices and services in preparation for Windows 10

HP’s gearing up for the release of Microsoft’s latest operating system, Windows 10, with new offerings and security solutions. One of the new security features that’ll be available on HP’s Elite line and ZBooks is the Sure Start. It’s a self-healing BIOS-level protection to make sure your BIOS hasn’t been tampered with and it can reset it to its original state if it has been messed with. This’ll work hand-in-hand with Windows 10 Enterprise’s Device Guard to prevent any security threats.

Two of the new devices HP introduced include the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 and HP Pro Tablet 608. The EliteBook Folio 1020 is a Windows 10-powered laptop and features BANG & OLUFSEN audio. It’s said to be the thinnest, lightest and most secure business-class laptop. If you need a new business slate, the Pro Tablet 608 is designed to mix productivity and portability. Pricing and availability though for both devices haven’t been announced yet.

Listen to music from around the world with Spotify Music Map

If you’re looking for more offbeat music to listen to or are just curious about what others listen to on the other side of the world, Spotify has created a music map to help you do just that. There are over 1,000 cities to check out around the world and you’ll be redirected to a playlist that’s specific or “distinctive” as they put it to that region or city. These playlists don’t necessarily mean the tracks get the most play, it’s more that those tracks are less likely to be heard in other places. Spotify updates the music on the map twice a month so you can keep checking it out for new stuff.
