Today's Story Highlights

Apple Event Date Nudges Court Showdown
Apple reportedly has changed the date for the launch event for its 4-
inch iPhone and new iPad Air from March 15 to March 21. If the rumor is
correct, Apple will be holding the event the day before it appears in a
federal court in California to contest a controversial court order. "The
timing seems to be a miscalculation on Apple's part," said John Carroll,
a professor at Boston University.

Privacy Advocates Blast Plan to Expand NSA Data Sharing
The Obama administration plans to increase the amount of private
communications the National Security Agency can share with other
government agencies without first adding privacy protections, according
to a report published last week. The plan reportedly would ease
restrictions on the amount of intercepted email and telephone
intelligence the NSA gathers.

Microsoft Bolsters Cloud Security
Microsoft last week announced measures to improve security management
and transparency for Azure cloud services and Office 365. The features,
which come from technology Microsoft acquired last year when it
purchased Adallom, will bolster security in cloud apps such as Office
365, Box, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Ariba. The reinforcements are the
first of a series of planned measures.

Facebook Gives Marketers a Blank Canvas
Facebook on Thursday yanked the drapery off its Canvas, inviting
marketers to splash it with their best promotions. The new platform will
provide brands with a new medium for storytelling, and it will return ad
pages up to 10 times faster than mobile Web pages do, the company
proclaimed. It's a big screen ad experience for the small screen,
compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
