Get all SharePoint News from Microsoft Graph - sharepoint

Is there a way to get news from SharePoint online using Microsoft Graph?
On this page from Microsoft they announce that:
If you use the SharePoint app on iOS, you get the first look at the
mobile experience of team news. When you tap the News tab, you will
see a list of aggregated news using the intelligence of the Microsoft
Graph from the sites you work in, the sites you follow and the sites
your colleagues work in. SharePoint mobile on iOS gives you one place
to catch up on the news from across your intranet. That’s your news in
your pocket!
But when looking in Microsoft Graph documentation for SharePoint, it doesn't seem to be any APIs for fetching aggregated news and other items from SharePoint? Am I missing something or is the the office blog just marketing talk?

The Microsoft Graph is still a work in progress. They're probably using the search api to surface news on mobile devices.

Sharepoint 2016 document master detail layout

I am new in SharePoint development. Right now I am working on a project for the Integrated Management System. We need to provide an easy navigation view for users where they can search and view the document in one place.
Is there any built-in web parts specifically for IMS available in SharePoint?
Or any web part available for document master-detail view, like a list of the document on the left side and selected document displays on the right side.
Or do I need to completely depend on the new SharePoint page development?
If you are using SharePoint 2016 on-premises and Office Online Server,
the users can find documents using SharePoint Search, and view into the documents using the hoverpanel.
Please see this blog post (the blog-post has a focus on SharePoint Online, but SharePoint 2016 and Office Online Server provide this feature on-premises as well)

Can I use Dynamics CRM as a Shopping Website?

I have couple of questions related to the usage of Dynamics CRM:
Can it be used like a shopping website?
If I am using it like a Shopping website, will I have to buy a license for every registered user on my website?
Or do you think Dynamics CRM is not made to behave like a shopping website?
1) Absolutely, with some development, Microsoft CRM can be used as the database for your shopping website. You can use the built-in product catalog and price lists for your sales. Microsoft CRM has entities built into it for lead -> opportunity -> quote -> order -> invoice and you can repurpose any or all of these to work as you need them.
2) Typically the users of your shopping website will coincide with CRM contacts, which is great because you don't need user licenses for them. You will have to license each end user of the system but this is limited to employees of your business. In some scenarios you may need to purchase one external connector license which licenses you to expose data through a web site or other medium - see this blog for more details http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mscrmfreak/archive/2007/06/01/repeat-external-connector-license.aspx. You will need to develop the website shopping site front end and integrate it with Microsoft CRM using the Dynamics CRM SDK.
3) Building portals to Microsoft CRM is actually a very common request. A shopping website is a type of portal, another type would be a customer self service website. Both can utilize the Microsoft CRM database to get 60% of the way, and then integrate with the website.
While you could use Microsoft Dynamics CRM to build a shopping website, I wouldn't recommend it. A CRM and a framework for ecommerce are two different beasts. Look for a product that is specifically created for a shopping website, rather than attempting to manipulate Dynamics CRM.

Sharepoint usage statistics across all sites in collection?

Is there a way of getting usage statisics across my whole Sharepoint 2007 portal?
I can get the figures at a site level by appending _layouts/SpUsageWeb.aspx
to the path, i.e. http://intranet/teams/hr/_layouts/SpUsageWeb.aspx for the HR page or http://intranet/_layouts/SpUsageWeb.aspx for the front page.
What I'm trying to do is see how many unique users access the portal (across all the sites it contains). Using the above method on each site and summing the total users for each doesn't take into account users who visit more than one site.
I've seen commercial tools that seem to do this but surely there has to be built in functionality that does this for a product as all-singing-and-dancing as Sharepoint?
The URL of the site collection statistics page is http://intranet/_layouts/SpUsageSite.aspx.
This functionality does not exist in SharePoint 2007. It was added to SharePoint 2010. You can now report on stats in central admin for web applications etc.

Website functionality tips

I'm writing a paper about website functionality so far I've covered some of them :
Event Calendars and Registration, and Appointment Setting
Product Databases and Wizard-like applications
Flash and other Interactive Multimedia Presentations
Online Publishing and Article Modules
Surveys and Interactive tools that entice Feedback
Content Management Tools
This is a research project(sophomore year project), can anyone help me to add some more items to the list, I just need functionality I'll google the rest. Thank you
Assuming that you're talking about more bog-standard websites, rather than specialty sites, I would add the following to your list:
Authentication and Authorization
Analytics
Communication
Administration
User account and profile management
