Blood-drawing robot is supposedly more accurate than humans | Engadget
The only thing worse than is getting two (or more) when the first jab attempt fails. Now, researchers from Rutgers and Mount Sinai Hospital have that can see under your skin and supposedly do the job better than humans. That could one day help reduce problems like infections and thrombosis when attempting to start an IV line, for example.It's relatively easy to draw blood from a patient with easy-to-access veins, but much harder for patients without visible or palpable veins, and particularly with emaciated patients. In those cases, staff might have to resort to using an ultrasound machine...…The only thing worse than is getting two (or more) when the first jab attempt fails.

Researchers discover that Intel chips have an unfixable security flaw | Engadget
Security researchers have discovered flaw in recent Intel chips that, while difficult to exploit, is completely unpatchable. The vulnerability is within Intel's Converged Security and Management Engine (CSME), a part of the chip that controls system boot-up, power levels, firmware and, most critically, cryptographic functions. Security specialists have found that a tiny gap in security in that module that could allow attackers to inject malicious code and, eventually, commandeer your PC.The vulnerability is another in a string of Intel chip flaws that have damaged the chipmaker's reputation...…Security researchers have discovered flaw in recent Intel chips that, while difficult to exploit, is completely unpatchable.
