Today's Story Highlights

Was Apple's Outstanding Q1 a Fluke?
Apple had a good quarter, but if you look under the numbers there is a
ton of trouble. It just dropped behind Google in brand value, and
valuation may crater in a few months. The iPhone 7 did well, but that
shouldn't be a surprise, given that its biggest competitor, Samsung, saw
its phone literally go up in flames last quarter. The Galaxy 8 is
coming, though, and it looks really impressive.

Tech Industry Reacts to Trump's Immigration Order
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick on Thursday resigned from President Trump's
business advisory council amid fierce blowback against the president's
recent executive order on immigration, and in the wake of reports that
several major Silicon Valley firms, including Facebook, Apple, Microsoft
and Google, have been circulating a draft letter opposing Trump's
action.

Facebook Aims to Carve Out a Spot in the Living Room
Facebook is working on a video app for set-top boxes, according to a
Wednesday report. The social network wants to deliver longer-form video
content -- and with it video ads -- to the living room TV, the one
screen it has been unable to reach. The Facebook app soon could be
available on a variety of set-top boxes, including Apple TV. The
initiative reportedly began in earnest last summer, after incubating for
years as a concept.

LibreOffice Update Offers Fresh Experience
The Document Foundation on Wednesday announced the general availability
of LibreOffice 5.3, one of the office suite's most feature-rich upgrades
since 2010, when it forked from OpenOffice at version 3.3. Dubbed "5.3
Fresh," this latest release takes the development of LibreOffice in a
new direction with a focus on updating the user experience, according to
Italo Vignoli of the Document Foundation.
