For the most part, the Mac is a very stable computer system. But sometimes, an app does lock up and you cannot quit it normally by using [COMMAND]+[Q] key combinations.
Fortunately, Apple has made it easy to quit an offending application. Here's how:

Last week, Microsoft announced a new version of its flagship Windows operation system named Windows 10 S. What the heck is it, where can you get it, and how is it different then the current Windows 10? Read on for that information.
What is Windows 10 S:
Windows 10 S is a full copy of Windows 10 designed for low-cost computers including educated-oriented computer systems, as well as some high-end computers such as the new Microsoft Surface Laptop. It is also streamlined for simplicity, security, and speed. Windows 10 S will boot 15 seconds faster then Windows 10 using the same configuration of that of a standard Windows 10 box.
What does the "S" stand for?
According to Microsoft, the "S" doesn't really stand for anything.
How is it different then Windows 10?
The huge difference between the S and other versions is that it comes with Microsoft’s BitLocker encryption system, but it will only run apps that are available from the Microsoft Windows App Store. An end user cannot install 3rd party apps such as those from Adobe and others. Users will be able to run Office programs coming in the next couple days or weeks.
Can I play games on S?
Yes and no. Again, if it is on the Microsoft Windows App Store, then yes.
Where can I get it?
Unfortunately, it is only available for new computers, such as the new Window Surface Laptop which is scheduled to begin shipping around June 15th. Machines running Windows 10 S will be available from a variety of Microsoft’s PC-making partners, with Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Samsung and Toshiba all producing machines, starting at $189 in the United States.

“Amazon and Apple may have reached a truce,” Peter Kafka and Jason Del Rey report for Recode. “The tech giants, who are increasingly competing for customers’ time, eyeballs and money, are close to an agreement to bring an Amazon video app to Apple’s Apple TV set-top box, according to people familiar with the two companies.”
“Amazon employees expect the app to show up on Apple’s hardware in the third quarter of the year,” Kafka and Del Rey report. “That move would allow Amazon Prime Video subscribers to easily watch TV shows and movies from the service using Apple TV. For the past few years, Amazon subscribers have only been able to watch their shows on Apple TV using Apple’s comparatively cumbersome Airplay system, which involves connecting another Apple product, like an iPhone, to an Apple TV using a wifi connection.”
Kafka and Del Rey report, “It’s unclear what got the two companies to reach an agreement, though some industry observers suggest that any pact would have been worked out, at a high level, by CEOs Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos.”
