NASA’s shiny new Perseverance rover has been stealing the spotlight lately, but Curiosity is still on Mars, too. This aging robot is still young and hip enough to take a selfie — hell, Curiosity pioneered the rover selfie. The latest snapshot features the rover posing in front of a large rock outcrop the team has dubbed “Mont Mercou,” after a French mountain. Mont Mercou is far from a mountain, but the Curiosity team felt it was geologically interesting enough to get a name. It’s about 20 feet (six meters) tall and fully visible behind the rover. That’s not all you can see in this photo — there’s a tiny drill hole just in front of Curiosity.
Microsoft has won a contract with the US Army to provide augmented reality headsets suitable for battlefield conditions. The Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) will be derived from Microsoft’s HoloLens technology and augmented by a backend built on Microsoft Azure. This deal builds on a previous $480M agreement between Microsoft and the Army, and the $21.9 billion figure represents a best-case result if Microsoft delivers all its relevant objectives and the Army decides to renew. The IVAS program will be reviewed five years from now to determine whether to continue the project. The Army’s announcement earlier this week contains more details on what IVAS is intended to accomplish:
Intel is reportedly considering changing its process node numbering system in a bid to look better against Samsung and TSMC. As solutions to Intel’s problems go, renumbering its process nodes isn’t going to close technical gaps between itself and TSMC. If Intel is serious about entering the client foundry business, however, it may need to patch up its marketing. Ann Kelleher, the Hillsboro VP in charge of Intel’s manufacturing group, has notified employees that “Intel plans to change its numbering conventions to match the industry standard,” to Oregon Live. The phrase “industry standard” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here because there is no ‘.
LG hasn’t earned a profit on smartphones in years, and a leaked menu last month . One of the options was to shutter the smartphone business entirely, and it’s looking increasingly like that’s what will happen. A report from claims LG will make the announcement on April 5th. The leaked memo laid out several options, including a sale or split sale of the company’s smartphone business. A more recent report claims that LG talked to a few interested parties, but it was unable to come to an understanding with any of them. That’s not very surprising when the part of the business it wants to unload has lost $4.5 billion in the last five years.
Intel’s new Rocket Lake desktop platform has arrived at a critical moment for the company. Just weeks ago, the CPU manufacturing giant unveiled a plan to overhaul its manufacturing business, open a client foundry business, build new fabs, and strike deeper partnerships with rival foundries like Samsung and TSMC. These initiatives are all part of new CEO Pat Gelsinger’s goal of reclaiming manufacturing leadership over the next four to five years. Like the plans Intel unveiled earlier in March, Rocket Lake represents a fundamental break from the past. The 2011-day reign of Skylake is over. For the first time in five and a half years, Intel has a new desktop microarchitecture.
The value of Bitcoin is surging once again, and that has turned some moderately wealthy crypto enthusiasts into millionaires. Phillipe Christodoulou was one of them with his hoard of 17.1 Bitcoins, worth just over $1 million at today’s exchange rates. However, he recently made the mistake of downloading an app from the iOS App Store. In the blink of an eye, his fortune was gone, and he blames Apple. Unlike traditional banking and fiat currency, there’s no backup and no legal framework that can retrieve stolen cryptocurrency. If you lose access to the bits of data that represent your digital money, it’s gone forever.
