Today's Story Highlights

InfraStructs Find Their Way Into the Guts of 3D-Printed Objects
Researchers at Microsoft have developed a way to embed coded tags into
3D-printed objects, paving the way for those products to include
identifiable information. The tags, called "InfraStructs," are embedded
during the printing process and then read using terahertz scanning.
InfraStructs could replace items like electronic chips or bar codes on
3D-printed items.

iOS 7 May Bring Fingerprint Scanning to the Mainstream
The next iPhone will likely have a fingerprint scanning feature through
iOS 7, iOS developer Hamza Sood has tweeted. Fingerprint scanning "adds
another factor to the authentication process ... [which is] a net good
thing" because this makes accounts more secure, said Tom Kemp, CEO of
Centrify. "This is, of course, assuming the scanning technology works."

Korora Linux: More Than Just Another Fedora Clone
Korora Linux has the potential to grow in popularity among users looking
for a better, more user-friendly Linux distro that reaches beyond
Fedora's enterprise appeal. Korora 19, released on July 2, is an
interesting Linux OS based on Fedora, the community version of parent
company Red Hat's Enterprise Linux. Korora is packed with lots of
additional packages, however.

Speedy Magnetite Switch Makes Blink of an Eye Seem Poky
Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford
University have created an experimental switch that goes between on and
off in one trillionth of a second. This was done by blasting samples of
magnetite with a laser to rearrange their atomic structure. The
scientists then used ultrabright, ultrashort X-ray pulses to measure how
long it took for the switch to go from off to on.

2 Brits Jailed for Courtroom Web Use
Two men from near London, a 21-year-old and 29-year-old, have each been
sentenced to two months in jail following contempt of court convictions
for misusing the Internet while serving on a jury. The 21-year-old
posted a Facebook message during a sex offense prosecution, saying that
he wanted to "f*** up a paedophile." The 29-year-old, meanwhile, used
Google to scour for extra information.
