Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Needles Twitter, Pinterest, With New Interest Lists
Facebook is rolling out yet another feature to keep members engaged with
the site for as long as possible. Called "Interest Lists," Facebook
touts it as a way for users to create their own personalized newspapers
with special sections -- or feeds -- on topics that matter the most to
them.

The Privacy Shell Game, Part 2
The White House has proposed a consumer privacy bill of rights, a step
that could result in new laws regarding what companies can do with
information about their online customers and users. Privacy advocates
are cautiously optimistic, though some fear the result will be laws
rendered toothless by lobbyists. Other critics already see problems in
the way the proposal is structured.

What Does One Serve With Raspberry Pi?
The ultra-cheap Linux computer on a circuit board has its roots in the
classroom. But the bare-bones computer, dubbed "Raspberry Pi," has
potential to teach industrial embedded programmers some new tricks.
Raspberry Pi, a $35 credit-card-sized computer sold without keyboard or
monitor, runs several Linux distros and can hook up to a mouse,
keyboard, HDTV and Ethernet.

What the New iPad Tells Us About the Next iPhone
For the most part, new features for Apple's mobile products usually
appear in the iPhone before they make it to the iPad, but that's not the
case with this latest release of the tablet. Support for LTE mobile
phone networks and a new muscular processor, the A5X, are two features
found solely in the new iPad, which is why they could be headed for the
next iPhone, expected to be released this summer.

Apple Ready to Go Off the Google Map?
Apple's newest version of iPhoto, as shown yesterday during its
announcement about the latest iPad, is using maps from OpenStreetMaps
instead of Google Maps for its journals and slideshow features. Google
Maps is still the default source of data for other areas of iOS, but
iPhoto maps are now using information that the company generated by
using OpenStreetMaps.
