Today's Story Highlights

FBI May Pick Out Your Face in a Crowd
The FBI is planning to have a fully operational facial recognition
system in place by this summer and may be well on its way to reaching
that goal. The system will be able to query a database of photos to
identify individuals based on their appearance even if they do not have
a criminal record, reported Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney at
the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Samsung Strikes Deal With Fellow Apple Patent Foe
Samsung, longtime patent foe of Apple, will partner with Swiss Federal
Railways, another -- unlikely -- Apple patent foe. While the deal itself
may not be groundbreaking -- Samsung will supply the state-owned rail
company with 30,000 mobile devices -- it is interesting given both
parties' litigious background with Apple. Samsung's court battles with
Apple have been documented ad nauseum.

Total Eclipse Paints the Moon Red
A total lunar eclipse in the early hours of Tuesday gave viewers a rare
glimpse of what's sometimes called a "blood moon," due to the reddish
hue it takes on as a result of dust in the atmosphere. Beginning at
about 1:55 AM EDT on April 15, the eclipse lasted roughly three and a
half hours -- peaking at 3:45 a.m. EDT. -- and was visible in North
America, South America and Australia.

Fun and Angst With Google Glass
Google Glass, which has been the focus of considerable controversy, went
on sale Tuesday -- for one day only -- at $1,500, with Android KitKat
and new features that include improved battery life, photo bundles,
photo replies and voice command sorting. However, one feature -- video
calling -- has been eliminated because fewer than 10 percent of Explorer
beta users employed it.
