Today's Story Highlights

On Paper, Facebook's a Different Story
Facebook on Thursday announced next week's launch of Paper, a free app
for iOS that combines user and curated content into a personalized news
medium. Users can create stories as well as receive stories based on
their interests and organized into sections. The sections cover
everything from sports, world news and animal pictures to business,
photography and food.

Canadian authorities used information culled from a free Internet
service at a major national airport to track the wireless devices of
scores of travelers. The Communications Security Establishment Canada,
or CESC, received information from the unnamed airport's free WiFi
system and then used that data to track travelers whose devices later
popped up at WiFi locations in other parts of the country.

Nintendo Makes Health the New Name of the Game
Nintendo is planning a new product offering that will take the company
beyond traditional gaming and into the world of health, it announced on
Thursday. Coming hard on the heels of a grim earnings report that
prompted a pay cut for President and CEO Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's

for investors and media.

Here Comes the Sun-Powered MacBook?
Apple wants to use natural energy sources to keep MacBooks powered while
on the move. The company has won a patent for a laptop with a lid that
features a second display, touch inputs and solar cells. The latter
could help users keep their MacBooks' batteries topped up without having
to plug in an external charger. Apple filed its application in 2010, and
USPTO granted it this week.

Viber's a Worthy Alternative to Outgoing GrooveIP
Google has been clamping down on third-party apps that ride piggyback on
its Google Voice telephony service. A merger between Google Voice and
Hangouts this year will result in the shuttering of an open protocol
exploited by apps that used the Google Voice service for free SMS
texting and VoIP calling. The days of free Internet-based in-U.S.
smartphone calls over Google's network are numbered.

information to a scammer who carried out a scheme to obtain a prime
Twitter account. Naoki Hiroshima, a developer at Echofon, this week
detailed how the scammer was able to force him to hand over his prime
Twitter account, @N. The scammer used social engineering to accomplish
