Today's Story Highlights

Sony Talks VR and 2016 Games in Paris
While Microsoft has been driving home the potential hits it has for the
holidays, Sony has sat silent. That changed this week at Paris Games
Week, when Sony set the tone for the next year or so by touting 21 games
poised to redefine the PlayStation 4 experience. It put on a console-
selling show that evidenced the potential of the latest PlayStation and
the upcoming PlayStation VR headset.

SXSW May Put Online Harassment in the Spotlight
SXSW Interactive reportedly might include a daylong event on combating
online harassment. The news followed SXSW's cancellation of two planned
panels that were expected to focus on opposite ends of the Gamergate
debate. Threats of on-site violence spurred the decision to cancel both
panels, according to SXSW officials. However, that decision immediately
drew fire.

Qualcomm Unveils Muscle Camera for Surveillance Systems
Qualcomm on Tuesday announced a muscle video camera for surveillance
systems. Part of the company's Snapdragon 618 IP camera platform, it
combines a six-core, 64-bit processor; next-generation graphics
crunching; and embedded digital signal processing. The unit can perform
advanced video analytics, which can reduce cloud processing and storage
costs provide more reliable analytics, Qualcomm said.

CISA Passes Senate Despite Privacy Advocates' Fear and Loathing
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday voted 74-21 to pass the Cybersecurity
Information Sharing Act, or CISA, in the face of strong opposition from
legal and cybersecurity experts, the high-tech industry, privacy and
civil liberties organizations, and members of the public. The Act calls
for several federal agencies to share cyberthreat indicators between the
public and private sectors.

Russian Sub Activity Near Internet Cables Worries US
Russian spy ships and subs reportedly are hovering close to the routes
of undersea communications cables. Military and intelligence officials
apparently have observed increased Russian sub activity near cables
located from the North Sea to Northeast Asia, as well as in waters close
to American shores. The movements suggest Russia might decide to attack
those cables in times of tension or conflict.
