FRIDAY, APRIL 27 2018 By Anthony Ha

The next Windows 10 update is coming soon, Amazon quietly gets into the home security business and Square makes a big acquisition. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for April 27, 2018.

1. The next major Windows 10 update is launching on Monday

The big addition is a Timeline feature (originally scheduled for last fall), which gives users a view of their recent activity for the last 30 days across all Windows devices. For example, when you get home you can jump right back into a document you were working on in the office.

Microsoft's Aaron Woodman told us, "One of the big changes you see with Windows Timeline is that it embraces the end customer over the individual machine."

2. Amazon is now selling home security services, including installations and no monthly fees

Amazon has quietly launched a portal offering home security services — those services include all the equipment you would need, along with in-person visits from Amazon consultants. The packages are being sold in five price tiers, at a flat fee.

3. Square is acquiring website builder Weebly for $365M

Square says that by acquiring Weebly, it can create "one cohesive solution" for entrepreneurs looking to build an online and offline business. And because 40 percent of Weebly's 625,000 paid subscribers are outside the U.S., the deal will help Square expand globally.

4. Women alleging sexual assault by Uber drivers ask to be freed from forced arbitration

A group of women alleging sexual violence from Uber drivers have sent an open letter to the company's board, asking to be released from the mandatory arbitration clause in the Uber app's terms of service.

5. France's BlaBlaCar acquires carpool startup Less in ongoing ridesharing consolidation

The financial terms are not being disclosed, but BlaBlaCar is picking up all of Less' assets and its (around 20) employees.

6. Nintendo is releasing a mobile RPG this summer

Called Dragalia Lost, the Japanese-style action RPG will be a free-to-play game, though likely loaded with Loot Box-style mechanics that designed to result in a financial windfall for Nintendo and developer Cygames.
