 Fulcrum Favorite Tech Things
With so much new technology flooding the pipe, you can bet the Fulcrum IT gang's gears have been turning all year! Here's what we've been coveting:
Looks like Steve Meek has been anticipating a seasonal mix of rest, relaxation and both physical and mental work in his typical multi-tasking style, with hopes to unwrap Call of Duty: Black Ops III for PS4, a Fit Bit Aria scale and some updated audiovisual tools for The Fulcrum Group conference room.
Maurice Estrello has sights set on a musical Christmas with hopes for the following under his tree: Black Lion Audio Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP Modification, Akai MPC 4000, AKG c314 microphone and Event 20/20 BAS studio monitors.
A new standing desk has been dancing like a sugarplum in Jerry Craven's head, while Don Roger's aspirations push the limits of geekdom with the Altwork Station!

Internet Explorer End of Life in January
We'll remind you throughout the upcoming month, but the upshot is this...
As of January 12, 2016, IE 11 will be the only version of Internet Explorer that Microsoft will support and supply updates and fixes for. Running older versions of Internet Explorer after January 12, 2016 may expose you to potential risks, such as:
Without critical browser security updates, your PC may become vulnerable to harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software which can steal or damage your business data and information.
Businesses that are governed by regulatory obligations such as HIPAA should conduct due diligence to assess whether they are still able to satisfy compliance requirements using unsupported software.
Many software vendors no longer support older versions of Internet Explorer. For example, Office 365 takes advantage of modern web standards and runs best with the latest browser.
It is important you inventory your web-based applications if you're running older versions of Internet Explorer. We want to help you make sure your application vendors have a path of sustainability for IE10 or older. We'll be communicating more with you throughout the month on this topic, but talk to us if you have a question!
