Microsoft has made official its long-rumored plans for a major reorganization. CEO Steve Ballmer’s plan reduces the company’s number of separate business divisions and puts new focus on devices — like the Surface tablet and the Xbox console. The gyroscope-balanced C1, made by San Francisco startup LIT Motors, is purposefully small and designed to change the rules of the road in cities. And on Sunday, India’s last official telegram will be sent from BSNL, the state-owned telecom company.

Microsoft is announcing plans today for a large-scale reorganization of top management. To what degree tablets and other mobile devices will play heavily into the reorganization isn’t clear yet. And there’s a new online trading game called Wall Street Magnate. Players are signing up in droves, in part, because the simulated experience reflects the stock market in real time. And a Twitter account that re-Tweets matching anagrams. The world is against you. No seriously, I want a dog.

Five years ago today Apple’s App store opened for the first time as an expansion of the company’s online marketplace iTunes. On its first day, there were only about 500 apps available. At five-years-old, it offers over 850,000. This week Apple’s been offering a bunch of its apps for free to celebrate. But that’s not actually all that unusual. The complex ecosystem of apps has gone through quite a pricing evolution.

The violence on the ground in Egypt following the ousting of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi is very real and very deadly. Yesterday some 51 civilian supporters of former President Morsi were reported killed when military and police fired on demonstrators. There’s no comparison to that in the digital world. But there is a debate about semantics happening on a Wikipedia page describing recent events in Egypt: are they protests or a coup d’état? The answer could have real world consequences.

Apple has filed patents on them, Sony just released one, and now an independent, crowdfunded piece of tech called the Pebble is available at a big box store. There has been a lot of talk about smartwatches as tech’s next big object of desire. We will soon see whether consumers actually want to read text messages and Facebook posts on their wrists. And it’s the last day to bid for one of the world’s only Apple 1 computers.

There’s a new video website that wants you to stop watching cat videos and start paying attention to things that matter. For example, who actually works for minimum wage? If that stuff sounds like homework, you’d be surprised at how good Upworthy is getting at making the videos they find go viral. And the Johannesburg Zoo has a new social media editor — a honey badger.

Rap Mogul Jay-Z is releases copies of his new album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ to 1 million Samsung Galaxy S4 owners. The tech and finesse behind fireworks. And a rally to restore the Fourth, the Fourth Amendment that is.

Weddings are going digital. Wedding trend watchers are seeing a big jump in couples who want to share their nuptials with the world in real time. Think handheld devices at destination weddings streaming to Grandma, who couldn’t fly out. And a reminder that some people’s Twitter musings are worth more than the Tweets of the rest of us.

As everyone turns their air conditioners up to eleven, a new solar power plant called Ivanpah is set to open in California’s Mojave Desert. The giant solar facility could be the future — or, it could become just footnote in the history of clean energy. And a rare musical example of a tech person singing praises of another tech person. Yes, this is a thing that exists in the world.
