Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Taps Barra to Push VR to the Next Level
Facebook has announced that Hugo Barra will be onboarding the company to
head up its virtual reality business, including the critically important
Oculus team. Barra just days ago announced his departure from Xiaomi.
Barra will fill the void left last month, when Brendan Iribe stepped
down as CEO of Oculus to head up a new Facebook unit that will develop
the PC side of its VR business.

Personalization, Simplicity Key to Smart Home Device Adoption
Continued innovation and messaging are crucial for smart safety and
security device manufacturers that want to capitalize on new
opportunities in the emerging Internet of Things. Early adopters of
smart devices are often drawn to the innovative design and technological
gadgetry. However, mass market adoption depends on clear and compelling
value propositions that appeal to the masses.

Banking Customer Satisfaction Barometer Inches Up
Customer satisfaction with banking institutions improved last year,
based on the annual Bank Satisfaction Barometer CFI Group released
Thursday. Customers were more likely to remain loyal to their bank and
even recommend it to others, according to the annual survey of bank
customers across the United States. Banks improved their standing with
customers and maintained stronger relationships.
