Today's Story Highlights

EU Levels Antitrust Charges Against Abusive Android
The European Commission has charged that Google breached EU antitrust
rules by seeking to maintain and expand the dominance of its Android
operating system. "A competitive mobile Internet sector is increasingly
important for consumers and businesses in Europe," said the EC's
antitrust chief, Margrethe Vestager. "We believe that Google's behavior
denies consumers a wider choice of mobile apps."

MIT Researchers Forge New Weapon for Code Warriors
MIT researchers have developed a fast, accurate system for identifying
security flaws in Web apps written in Ruby on Rails, according to news
reports published last week. Tests the researchers performed on 50
popular RoR apps uncovered 23 previously undiscovered security flaws.
What's more, the longest amount of time it took to analyze any one
program was 64 seconds.

Apple's MacBook Refresh Draws Tepid Response
Apple on Tuesday announced a refreshed MacBook with some incremental
improvements but nothing likely to dazzle even the staunchest Mac fans.
The improved battery life and fanless design got the attention of tech
analyst Eric Smith. "Battery life is always top of mind for consumers,"
he said. However, he was "a little disappointed" that there has been no
improvement to display resolution.

YouTube Wants You to See the World From Every Angle
YouTube on Monday announced the rollout of live-streaming 360-degree
video and spatial audio, part of the company's push to boost its reach
in the growing market for immersive video and virtual reality. It has
provided support for 360-degree video for more than a year, but it has
been working with content creators to push the technology even further,
Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan said.

Sports Fans and Social Media, Part 1: It's a Brand New Ball Game
Twitter and the NFL are betting that a partnership announced this month
could help refine the roughly defined relationship between social media
and the world of sports. The NFL set out to reclaim fans who chewed
through their cable TV cords and strayed from the flock of football
faithful. Twitter's motive in agreeing to stream 10 gridiron games
during the 2016 season was growth and retention.
