TechByter Worldwide 2015.08.08: Prepare to Merge; The Windows 10 Update Experience; Short Circuits; and Spare Parts.

Combining multiple images allows today's photographers to create panoramic views and maybe even to outdo Ansel Adams (or is that blasphemy?); updating a computer to Windows 10 worked well for me, but occasional failures are being used to drive traffic to "Panic NOW!" websites. In Short Circuits: PayPal splits from Ebay and it's about time, a new website makes it easy to type in non-Roman alphabets, and Republicans plan to update their voter management system. In Spare Parts, only on the website: A technology program scheduled for Moscow in October sounds a lot like PC Expo in 1997, Epson has released lots of tiny printers that will be used in restaurant settings, Subway says you can now order and pay on-line, and wearable cameras are becoming very big business.
