Today's Story Highlights

Lexus' Fancy Board Really Hovers, but It's Just for Show
Lexus on Tuesday presented the final video reveal of its Hoverboard as
part of its Amazing in Motion campaign. Set to the sounds of Rudimental,
pro skater Ross McGouran cruises around a Barcelona skate park on the
Lexus Hoverboard. "I've spent 20 years skateboarding, but without
friction it feels like I've had to learn a whole new skill," McGouran
said.

Cyberwarrior Demand Outpaces Supply
Demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to far outpace supply,
according to a Burning Glass Technologies report released last week.
Cybersecurity hiring remains concentrated in government agencies and
among defense contractors, the third annual cybersecurity job market
report notes, but hiring has started to boom in industries handling
consumer data.

Bring On the New Apple TV - Streaming Service or Not
I've been waiting for a new Apple TV from Apple for years, and I've been
disappointed each time a major Apple event came and went without one.
Plus, I've been waiting for Apple to come along and disrupt the
cable/satellite TV bundling status quo with some sort of a la carte
streaming service, also to no avail. Now I don't think that second wish
matters much at all.

Microsoft Aims to Meet Gamers' Great Expectations
Microsoft on Tuesday launched the Rare Replay collection -- the best
games lineup in Xbox History, according to Xbox Chief Phil Spencer -- at
Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Even some loyal Xbox fans might disagree
with that proclamation, but Microsoft attempted to back up its assertion
with a content-rich presentation bedazzled with exclusive games.

Autodesk's Stingray Gets Into Video Game Guts
Tired of serving as just a pretty face, Autodesk on Monday announced
that it's putting its muscle into the business of making video games.
The new Stingray engine, introduced at the Game Developers Conference,
pulls together Autodesk's efforts in the games space. Stringray is a
cross-platform engine that supports Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Oculus
Rift, Windows, Android and iOS.
