Today's Story Highlights

Fitbit Shares Surge on Healthy Downloads

Fitbit shares earlier this week climbed several percentage points after
the company's app topped the iOS charts over the Christmas holiday. The
Fitbit app was the top free app downloaded from Apple's App Store on
Christmas Day. It was already the most downloaded app in the store's
fitness and health category. It wasn't just downloads that told the
story of Fitbit's success, however.

Smart Homes Meet Connected Cars: X Marks the Spot

Several factors have contributed to the sudden expansion of connected
car services available or coming to the market, notably the expansion of
mobile broadband networks, high penetration of smartphones, and
automakers' re-evaluation of connected services as a competitive
advantage. Crossover between connected car and smart home ecosystems
offers a unique opportunity for the ecosystem players.

Amazon Burns Through Previous Holiday Records

Amazon on Monday reported a record competition-shattering performance
during the Christmas holiday, adding more than 3 million Amazon Prime
members last week alone. Holiday sales of Prime devices more than
doubled last year's record number, the company said. The Prime Now
program, which offers free two-hour delivery in 20-cities across the
country, broke records on Christmas Eve.

Today's Story Highlights

Security Execs Sweat Insider Threats

Insider threats are becoming increasingly worrisome to corporate
security executives. That is one of the findings in a survey of C-level
businesspeople Nuix released last week. "The insider threat seems to be
a bigger concern this year than it was in previous years," said Nuix's
Keith Lowry. "People are recognizing that it is a significant weakness
that has yet to be fully addressed."

China's Internet Tightrope Walk

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently told an international delegation
of cybersecurity and technology experts that governments must be allowed
to exercise sovereign rights and decision making over Internet use
within their own countries. Speaking at the second annual World Internet
Conference in Wuzhen, China, the president effectively called for a
revised order in Internet governance.

Zuckerberg Defends Downsized Internet for Developing World

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday defended his company's downsized
version of the Internet, called "Free Basics," which is offered in
developing nations around the world. "In every society, there are
certain basic services that are so important for people's wellbeing that
we expect everyone to be able to access them freely," he said, citing
public libraries, hospitals and schools as examples.

Gadgets: Streaming Socks, a High-Powered Hoverboard, and a Vigilant Vacuum

Finally, a pair of socks I would not be ever-so-slightly disappointed to
find among my gifts on Christmas morning. Netflix has released some
designs for socks that can stop streaming the show or movie you're
streaming if you should nod off. The socks detect when you've stopped
moving for a long period and hit the pause button. If you're still
awake, you can wiggle your big toe to halt the action.
