It’s no surprise that the diamond industry is willing to spend whatever it takes to make the process of mining precious gems even more profitable. And while it already relies on X-ray technology for spotting diamonds on the surface of mined ore, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute’s Development Center for X-ray Technology EZRT have developed a way to now spot them buried inside rocks.

cartechboy (2660665) writes “Just the other day we read about how the Department of Transportation will require all manufacturers to include rearview cameras on all new cars produced after May 1, 2018. But there’s something else auto manufacturers are pushing for, the ability to replace sideview mirrors with cameras in 2018. Tesla in particular is pushing for this to happen as traditional mirrors are bulky, and not very aerodynamic. That lump of plastic can cause surprising amounts of drag on an otherwise smooth car body. Camera units are much smaller and can be made streamlined, or even mounted nearly flush with the body, thus reducing aerodynamic drag. The idea has been around since the 1990s, and many concept cars have used cameras instead of sideview mirrors for years. But how will NHTSA respond? Is it finally time to ditch the sideview mirror?” Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Apple is widely expected to launch health-monitoring software for its mobile operating system, possibly as soon as iOS 8, which should make its developer debut at WWDC this June. The software would monitor and track various aspects of a user’s health, and 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman has a new report out today that details exactly how that might work. Using recreated screenshots based on… Read More

Trailrunner7 writes “A revamped early random number generator in iOS 7 is weaker than its vulnerable predecessor and generates predictable outcomes. A researcher today at CanSecWest said an attacker could brute force the Early Random PRNG used by Apple in its mobile operating system to bypass a number of kernel exploit mitigations native to iOS. ‘The Early Random PRNG in iOS 7 is surprisingly weak, ‘ said Tarjei Mandt senior security researcher at Azimuth Security. ‘The one in iOS 6 is better because this one is deterministic and trivial to brute force.’ The Early Random PRNG is important to securing the mitigations used by the iOS kernel. ‘All the mitigations deployed by the iOS kernel essentially depend on the robustness of the Early Random PRNG, ‘ Mandt said. ‘It must provide sufficient entropy and non-predictable output.'” Read more of this story at Slashdot.
