Google scans your Gmail inbox for child porn to help catch criminals, but dont worry about loss of privacy (yet)

Last week, a man in Texas was arrested by the police for sending child porn to a friend email. This isn't something we'd usually report on, except in this case the man was arrested due to a direct tip-off from Google, which caught the child porn moving across its Gmail servers and dutifully alerted the police. This raises a rather thorny question: How did Google scan the man's inbox for child porn? And more importantly, does this mean Google is scanning everyone's inbox for child porn and other illegal materials?
Samsung's S5 mini: Slimmer and slower than S5, but still scans fingerprints

The Galaxy S5 mini will still have the fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor and waterproofing of its bigger brother, but its quad-core processor will run slower and its screen will, of course, be smaller.

It has the same looks as the S5, including its dimpled back cover but its processor is clocked at only 1.4 GHz instead of 2.5GHz, and its 4.5-inch screen has a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, down from the S5's 5.1-inch, 1920 by 1080 pixel display.
