Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft's Mixer Could Shake Up the Streaming Game
Microsoft on Thursday announced Mixer, a rebranded version of its game-
streaming service previously known as "Beam." In addition to the name
change, the service will include a number of new features designed to
attract more gamers. The added features will unlock new possibilities
for social streaming, while also helping viewers find specific content
across the service, according to Microsoft.

Main Surface Pro Improvements Are Beneath the Surface
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a refresh of its Surface Pro tablet-
laptop computer. Although Microsoft said the fifth generation of the
unit has been redesigned from the inside out with more than 800 new
custom parts, the Surface Pro looks similar to its predecessor. "If you
were looking for a major redesign of Surface, this isn't it," said Ross
Rubin, principal analyst at Reticle Research.

New GitHub Marketplace Showcases Integrators, Speeds Development
GitHub has launched GitHub Marketplace, featuring apps from more than a
dozen integrators. The platform allows developers to review and purchase
new tools that do everything from helping to manage projects, to
automating code building, testing code quality, or monitoring the impact
of code changes. It allows devs to start using tools without setting up
multiple accounts or payment methods.

Getting Serious About Teen Smartphone Addiction
Parents don't need a poll to tell them their teenagers are addicted to
smartphones. After all, smartphones are a permanent fixture rather than
accessories on the visages of kids of all ages these days. Even so,
polls move these everyday observances from anecdotal to official problem
when the numbers tilt in that direction -- and a Common Sense Media poll
hit full tilt.

Leaked Docs Spotlight Complexity of Moderating Facebook Content
The public got a rare view into how Facebook tries to keep offensive and
dangerous content offline in a report published Sunday. Leaked
confidential documents exposed the secret rules by which Facebook
polices postings on issues such as violence, hate speech, terrorism,
pornography, racism and self-harm, as well as such subjects as sports
fixing and cannibalism.
