Today's Story Highlights

Mobile's Year of Living Big, Strong and Superpowerfully
At last week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the major players
showed up loaded for bear. Wearable computers became more robust, we got
another Android fork, phones acquired superpowers, and it became clear
that big -- really big -- is going to be all around us. Oh, and if you
are into power and performance, this is the beginning of your era.

College Student's Facebook Folly Could Cost $80K
A student at Boston College may have cost her family $80,000 -- and
herself a trip to Europe. The student, Dana Snay, posted a Facebook
status update boasting of her father's victory in an age discrimination
case. The father, 69, was the headmaster of a school for years, but his
contract was not renewed in 2010. This prompted a lawsuit, which was
settled for $80,000 in late 2011.

Moov Brings Smarts to Fitness Tech
There is a new wearable fitness device on the horizon that may take this
emerging technology niche to an entirely new level. Moov, developed by
former tech specialists from Apple and Microsoft, promises not only to
capture data about users' activities, but also to give them performance-
improvement tips. A crowdfunding campaign launched Thursday seeks to
raise $40,000 for a July release.

Wiliest Ways to Keep the NSA at Bay
The death of online privacy had already been proclaimed long before
Edward Snowden landed in the international spotlight, but if it wasn't
confirmed back then, Snowden's NSA revelations surely must have
extinguished the last vestiges of hope in even the most die-hard
optimists. "We're in a predicament," said Phil Zimmermann, Pretty Good
Privacy creator and cofounder and president of Silent Circle.
