This image of Mark Zuckerberg says so much about our future
Except it's not from a sci-fi movie — it's from Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, and the man is Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg. The picture trips all of our "horrible cyberpunk future" alarms, carefully put in place by everything from The Matrix to Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent. Zuckerberg's picture acts this out: MWC attendees plugged into Samsung's Gear VR headset literally can't see the Facebook boss as he breezes past them.

Battle shapes up over Israeli site where Napoleon and Saladin fought
An Israeli government plan to build a new town near the site of a historic battle between crusaders and Muslim icon Saladin -- and where Napoleon also fought many years later -- has itself come under fire. Scholars, farmers and even members of the Druze minority meant to benefit from the project have criticised the plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. Israel's National Planning and Building Council approved it in January, with the government describing it as the first new town for members of the secretive offshoot of Shiite Islam since the Jewish state was established in 1948.

FBI: Resetting San Bernardino gunman's iCloud password wasn't a mistake
The FBI has responded to Apple's claim that San Bernardino county officials reset the iCloud password associated with the gunman's iPhone, which prevented the company from recovering information from the device. In a statement first released Saturday night, an FBI spokesperson said that San Bernardino officials were working "cooperatively" with the FBI when the iCloud password was reset. The statement also countered Apple's claims that the company would have been able to recover information from the device had the password not been reset. See also: Complying with court order could 'destroy the iPhone as it exists,' Apple's lawyer says Apple executives said Friday that the password reset prevented them from accessing the phone's data. Had the password not been reset, they said, they may have been able to trigger an automatic iCloud backup, which could have yielded additional information from the device without the need for its passcode. But the FBI says that it still would have needed Apple's help, even if the password had not been reset. "The reset of the iCloud account password does not impact Apple’s ability to assist with the the court order under the All Writs Act," an FBI spokesperson said in a statement provided to ArsTechnica . "Through previous testing, we know that direct data extraction from an iOS device often provides more data than an iCloud backup contains. Even if the password had not been changed and Apple could have turned on the auto-backup and loaded it to the cloud, there might be information on the phone that would not be accessible without Apple’s assistance as required by the All Writs Act order, since the iCloud backup does not contain everything on an iPhone." A judge ruled last week that Apple had to provide the FBI with assistance in the form of specialized software in order to circumvent the device's passcode. Apple's lead attorney said Sunday that the company plans to fight the order. You can read the FBI's latest statement in its entirety below.

‘Outer spacey' music in newly declassified NASA audio confused Apollo 10 astronauts
Declassified audio of the Apollo 10 mission has brought attention to a moment when NASA astronauts heard strange "outer spacey" music during their trip around the Moon. While transcripts of these exchanges were released back in 2008, some of the new audio has made it into an upcoming episode of NASA's Unexplained Files, a show on the Science Channel that features dramatized stories from the US space agency. It takes small details pulled from agency documents or stories told by NASA astronauts and extrapolates them out into big, overreaching "what if?" kinds of stories.
