 | Facebook's Trending Topics section recently has carried a number of trending stories that were either "indisputably fake" or "profoundly inaccurate," according to a report this week. The news feed six weeks ago ran a false story claiming Fox News had fired anchor Megyn Kelly for being a closet liberal who supported Hillary Clinton. Facebook removed the story, apologized, and promised to do better. [More...] |

Big Data and Analytics: Creating New Value
The massive amount of data available from connected devices creates an unprecedented opportunity for increased optimization of products and
services -- and, consequently, revenue. The deep investment in big data
gathering and analytics is fueled by an ability to create added value
for companies based on actionable business insights, and for consumers
by providing lifestyle benefits.

Snap Lines Up Bankers for Spring IPO
Snap this week hired Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group to manage its IPO, according to multiple reports. JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank,
Allen & Co., Barclays and Credit Suisse Group reportedly also will play
a role. The IPO, expected as early as this spring, could result in a
valuation of $25 billion or more. That would make Snap one of the
highest-profile IPOs in years.

FCC Slaps Comcast With $2.3M Overbilling Fine
The FCC on Tuesday announced that Comcast would pay a record $2.3 million fine to settle its investigation into whether the cable operator
improperly charged customers for services and equipment they never
approved, a practice known as "zero billing option." Federal law bans
cable operators from charging customers for unauthorized equipment or
services.

Amazon Throws the Books at Prime Subscribers
Amazon last week launched Prime Reading -- a new benefit for subscribers to its US$100-a-year Amazon Prime service that lets them access content
for free. That content will come from more than 1,000 top Kindle books,
Kindle Singles, magazines, comic books, children's books, and classic
works from writers such as Kurt Vonnegut, Norman Mailer and Gloria
Steinem.

Odinaff Trojan Targets Banks, Financial Firms Worldwide
Symantec on Tuesday reported on a malware campaign that has targeted financial organizations worldwide for the past 10 months. Dubbed
"Trojan.Odinaff," it has infiltrated the banking, securities, trading
and payroll sectors, as well as organizations that provide them with
support services. Odinaff is used in the first stage of an attack, to
get a foothold into a network.

Rethinking Business Process Reengineering in the Cloud
Nearly 25 years ago, Michael Hammer and James Champy coauthored one of the most influential business books of the period, Reengineering the
Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution , anticipating some of
the important changes that lay ahead. The corporate world was trying to
cope with the growing pressures of globalization and the advent of
personal computing.

Dreamforce Redux
Dreamforce for many years has been too big for a single person to cover. While I participate in covering events like this, inevitably I am
reduced to the story of the three blind people and the elephant. You
can't experience enough of the elephant to describe it unless you can
see it. Using your hands leaves you frustrated. In the case of
Dreamforce, you can't go to all of the sessions.

Samsung Down, Galaxy Note7 Out
Samsung shares fell sharply on Tuesday after the company confirmed reports that it had halted production of its flagship Galaxy Note7
smartphone, just launched this summer. The move came after several
replacement phones reportedly smoldered or caught fire. Shares fell 8
percent in the Korean market. Samsung had been working with the U.S.
CPSC on a voluntary recall and replacement program.
