Today's Story Highlights

Teens Falling Away From Facebook
Ninety-five percent of teens have access to a smartphone, and 45 percent
of teens are almost constantly online -- but younger Internet users do
not connect on Facebook as much as their older peers do, suggests a new
Pew study. Although Facebook dominated social media across all age
groups over the past decade, it has taken a backseat to YouTube,
Instagram and Snapchat among today's teens.

Qualcomm and Huawei: More Partners Than Rivals
Because both Qualcomm and Huawei are technology leaders in the wireless
segment and have invested heavily in 5G, they often are pitted against
one another in political, financial and industry discussions. However,
the truth is that the two companies complement one another and work
together more than they compete against each another, since they come
from different ends of the wireless ecosystem.

Desktop Consolidation Gives SparkyLinux a Clearer Focus
SparkyLinux is experiencing growing pains. You could say that this very
capable Linux distribution was just too much of a great thing to last.
Users previously had access to a continuously updated list of more than
a dozen different download options. Depending on which variety you
selected, you could choose from a wide range of desktop environments.

HomePod Gets Multi-Room Audio Chops With iOS 11.4
Apple has released iOS 11.4, the latest version of its mobile operating
system, with some beefed-up features for its HomePod wireless smart
speaker. The update allows users to create a stereo pair with two
HomePods. It also supports multiroom streaming through AirPlay 2
connections. Music can be played in every room with a HomePod. It can be
the same music in every room or tailored for each room.

HP: Reimagining the Future
I got a view of the future at HP's Innovation Center in Barcelona. The
company has made some aggressive moves to blend its printing and imaging
technologies to create products that will redefine our near-term future.
HP also showcased capabilities that are something just short of magic.
When you can transform what you can imagine into physical products, what
else would you call it?

Battlefield V May Give Players a More Realistic View of WWII
The popular first-person shooter video game franchise Battlefield ,
which made its debut almost 16 years ago, will return to its World War
II roots this summer. Battlefield V was unveiled this week in an online
presentation hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, who sat down with the
game's development team and discussed what gamers can expect when the
title arrives this fall.

FBI Declaws Russian Fancy Bear Botnet
The FBI has disrupted a network of half a million routers compromised by
the group of Russian hackers believed to have penetrated the DNC and the
Hillary Clinton campaign during the 2016 elections, according to
reports. The hacker group, known as "Fancy Bear," has been using a
malware program called "VPN Filter" to compromise home and small office
routers.
