Today's Story Highlights

Batteries in New iPhones Could Have Shorter Life Spans
There was some bad news for owners of the latest iPhone models on
Monday. Batteries in the iPhone 8 and X may have shorter life spans than
those in prior models. Typically, phone batteries begin losing their
effectiveness after 500 recharges. Up to that point, they can hold up to
80 percent of their charge. After that, it's usually downhill for the
battery.

The One Man Who Could Save Intel
Do boards think CEO is a throwaway job? Considering that boards used to
have a ton of ex-CEOs on them, and given the historic bad choices that
have badly hurt or destroyed companies, you'd think someone would have
developed a decent process to pick a good CEO. You'd think that firms at
least would learn from their mistakes. Intel now seems to have the
second bad CEO since founder Andy Grove left.

Nintendo Unveils Labo, a DIY Cardboard Kit for the Switch
Nintendo, riding high off of record-shattering sales of its Switch
gaming console, on Wednesday announced an out-of-the-box addition to the
family, Nintendo Labo. With its Toy-Con creations, Labo could rewrite
the script on the way gaming companies expand their audience to the
children's market. Nintendo Labo, a do-it-yourself cardboard kit, offers
five different Toy-Con projects kids can use to learn and interact with
the Switch.

Google Device Bug Chokes Home WiFi Networks
A bug in the software used by Google Cast devices such as Chromecast and
Home can slow down or crash WiFi networks. The problem -- initially
believed to be isolated to a particular router model made by TP-Link --
appears to affect models made by other manufacturers, including Asus,
Linksys, Netgear and Synology. Complaints on a Google user forum brought
the problem to light earlier this week.
