It seems you can BSOD (crash) Windows 8.1 if you have Cisco AnyConnect 4.1* installed and then plug in a telstra 4G hotspot via USB. I've found Windows 8.1 doesn't BSOD every time but once in every 4-5 inserts of the USB cable.
Uninstalling AnyConnect stops the BSOD from occurring.

Batteriser: Extend your disposable battery life by 800%
Hmm. I will remain very skeptical of this product until it's actually released and tested by the public.
Reminds me very much at this stage of those stupid powerbands.
Batteriser: Extend your disposable battery life by 800%: "Known as Batteriser, the device — crafted from .1mm thin stainless-steel — slides over a range of battery types and promises to increase their life by 800 per cent."

KB3038314 Causing issues with lists in IE
I am seeing issues with KB3038314 It seems it is causing more than just install failures, I'm seeing that KB3038314 is cuasing performance issues in ASP.Net lists/ General large lists IE 9.0 and 11.0 affected.
If we remove KB3038314 the issues go away.

Update: If your list code executes slowly it's time to inspect your code.

Microsoft Security Advisory 3062591
This is really simple and really cool.
Microsoft Security Advisory 3062591: "Microsoft is offering the Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) that provides a solution to the issue of using a common local account with an identical password on every computer in a domain. LAPS resolves this issue by setting a different, random password for the common local administrator account on every computer in the domain. Domain administrators using the solution can determine which users, such as helpdesk administrators, are authorized to read passwords.
Compromised identical local account credentials could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker uses them to elevate from a local user/administrator to a domain/enterprise administrator. Local administrator credentials are needed for occasions when logon is required without domain access. In large environments, password management can become complex, leading to poor security practices, and such environments greatly increase the risk of a Pass-the-Hash (PtH) credential replay attack.
LAPS simplifies password management while helping customers implement recommended defenses against cyberattacks. In particular, the solution mitigates the risk of lateral escalation that results when customers use the same administrative local account and password combination on their computers."
