Today's Story Highlights

Arms Could Help Nintendo Fight Its Way Back Into the Ring
Arms, the highly anticipated fighting game for Nintendo's Switch, will
be available next Friday, and based on the early reviews, the company
just may have found the magic bullet. Nintendo's Switch console,
launched earlier this year, has been something of a surprise success.
Prior to its launch, it seemed like a risky play for the company, which
has been bobbing and weaving in recent years.

E3 2017: Enhancements, Expectations and Perhaps Excitement
All of the major video game developers, publishers and console hardware
makers, as well as many retail buyers and the gaming press, will descend

computer, video and mobile games and related products -- will kick off
officially on Tuesday and run through Thursday at the Los Angeles
Convention Center.

Open Source Survey Exposes Community Troubles
GitHub has released the results of its survey on open source software
development, practices and worldwide communities. Responses from more
than 6,000 participants reveal some of the problems missing or poorly
done documentation can have on users and project adoption. The survey
also reveals an ongoing concern about nasty interactions among community
members and negative attitudes toward women.

Metis CDS Debbie Berebichez to Women in STEM: Chase Your Dreams
"I've helped shape the conversation," said Debbie Berebichez, chief data
scientist at Metis. "It's empowered me to mentor young women and also to
shape policy. At Metis, we offer a scholarship to women and minorities,
so we do things actively to bring women in. I also try to recruit and
hire women. Even though it's a tech company, over 60 percent of the
employees at Metis are women."

of the applications it has developed for iOS," said Ross Rubin, the
principal analyst at Reticle Research.

With Audio Focus, Apple Side-Steps Smart Speaker Competition
Apple raised the curtain on HomePod, its upcoming smart speaker, during
Monday's WWDC keynote presentation. The company also announced some
desktop OS features for the iPad, and revealed its plans to become an
augmented reality powerhouse. "Just like iPod reinvented music in our
pockets, HomePod is going to reinvent music in our homes," said Apple
SVP Phil Schiller.
