Today's Story Highlights

Chrome Encourages Searchers to Speak Up
Google has added hands-free voice search to the latest beta version of
the Chrome Web browser. Users need not have to interrupt messy housework
and first wash their hands in order to search for a recipe for homemade
glass cleaner, for example. All they need to do is open a new tab or go
to the Google homepage, say the words "OK Google," and dictate their
search terms.

Report: Britain Snooped on Yahoo Users' Sexy Times
Britain's Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ, reportedly
intercepted and collected millions of images of people via Yahoo webcam
chats, some of which were sexually explicit. As part of the surveillance
program, dubbed "Optic Nerve," GCHQ saved images from webcams on agency
databases regardless of whether or not the individuals were an
intelligence target.

All Things Appy: 5 Cool Chrome Desktop Apps
Chrome apps are the newest form of extension and helper for the Chrome
Desktop environment, and as of late last year, any computer, including
Macs, could use them. Here are five recently updated free Chrome apps
that are worth a look. All of them can be run offline, outside of the
browser, on the desktop. In the top spot, Google's Keep app allows you
to take notes in a Post-it note-like UI.

App Converter Bridges Tizen-Android Divide
The first Tizen phones may still be on the horizon, but at least one
software provider is already planning ahead. Infraware Technology
debuted software that can port Android apps to the Tizen mobile OS
without additional development or customization. Both Android and Tizen
are based on Linux, of course, but that doesn't mean their native apps
are compatible.

Google Issues Clarion Call for Project Ara Devs
Google is ramping up its plans to bring the Project Ara modular
smartphone to market by scheduling its first developer conference. The
company will hold the conference on April 15-16 at the Computer History
Museum in Mountain View, Calif. A limited number of developers will be
able to attend the conference in person, but anyone can participate
online through a live stream and interactive Q&A.
