Is the briefing about possible life? We don't know. If it about geological activity? We don't know. Stating "NASA briefing: possible life or geological activity on Mars" is premature and misleading.

You've got it backwards. We don't know for sure it's about the methane findings, that's just the most likely conclusion from the available information. The part about life or geological activity is straight from the NASA press release: "NASA will hold a science update at 2 p.m. EST, Thursday, Jan. 15, to discuss analysis of the Martian atmosphere that raises the possibility of life or geologic activity."
