Today's Story Highlights

London's Burning Over Government Surveillance Plans
The UK government has proposed plans to monitor the electronic
communications of everyone in that country. It claims it's not seeking
to read the content of the communications, according to reports, but
instead wants to know who the senders and recipients of messages are,
the places from which messages are sent, and other details such as the
length of messages and their formats.

SpaceX Dragon to Soar to Launch History on Falcon's Wings
When the SpaceX Dragon capsule blasts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station atop the company's Falcon rocket Saturday morning, it will be
doing more than just setting off on another cargo-laden trip to the
International Space Station. Rather, as the very first commercial
attempt ever to fly to the ISS, this test launch will be making history.

Iran Threatens to Sue Over Google Maps Slap
Today in international tech news: Still irked about Google Maps' non-
labeling of the Persian Gulf, Iranian state-run media says the country
is considering legal action against the search company. In the UK,
police implement a system to extract data from mobile devices of
detained suspects, while Sky News talks with police about the broadcast
of a rape victim's name via a televised Twitter feed.

iPhone 5 Screen: Will Things Get Ugly?
Should Apple decide to increase the display size of the next version of
its bestselling iPhone, it could present developers with new sets of
both challenges and opportunities. Speculation about Apple boosting the
screen found on the next edition of its smartphone isn't new, but it was
renewed this week with a report predicting the new iPhone would have a
display of at least 4 inches.

Scalado Album's Photo-Mapping Skill Earns It a Niche
Have you ever found yourself scrolling endlessly around your phone's
chronologically arranged photograph album -- called "Gallery" in Android
-- looking for a photograph you've captured? If you can remember the
specific place but not the date, then Scalado Album may be for you. I
say "may be" because there are some downsides to using it over the stock
"Gallery" app, which I'll get to.

Paralyzed Woman Takes Sip of Joe Using Mind-Powered Robo Arm
Researchers have developed a robotic arm that has enabled a paralyzed
woman to drink a cup of coffee -- by directly controlling it with her
mind. The development has raised the question of whether this approach
could perhaps restore some mobility to similarly affected people in the
future.
