 It's Thursday, January 16, 2014. I'm Michael Shane, and thanks to a daily regimen of yoga and meditation, I'm in a constant state of relaxation. Excuse me, I- PFFT! Don't interrupt me or startle me during 90 seconds on The Verge! Another day, another NSA leak. A new report details how a secret NSA program called Dishfire collects nearly 200 million quote, untargeted text messages every day, including names, phone numbers, and images. One key factor is that while Dishfire collects both data within the US and abroad, the data from other countries is stored for far longer. The saddest part about all this? New revelations about the NSA don't even really surprise us anymore. Netflix continued its award season run this morning with its first Oscar nomination. The Square, a Netflix-backed documentary about the 2011 Egyptian revolution, picked up a nomination for best documentary. So who's going to take home all those awards? You can find out when the Oscars air on March 2nd. And finally, what are two things a film adaptation of 1984 needs? Romance and Kristen Stewart. The new film is titled Equals and will star both Stewart and Warm Bodies actor Nicholas Holt. The Associated Press paraphrases Stewart as calling it a slightly updated version of the 1956 film about love in a world where love really doesn't exist anymore. The good news is that the script will be written by Nathan Parker, who previously wrote the award-winning sci-fi drama Moon. That's it for today's top stories. Coming up tomorrow, I star in the romantic remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
