Apple says iOS 7 will patch exploit that lets rogue chargers install malware

Recently, Georgia Tech researchers discovered an unusual way to attack iOS: a third-party charger with a hidden computer can install malware when an iOS device is plugged in and unlocked. That won't be an issue for much longer, however, as Apple has confirmed that iOS 7 beta 4 and future releases contain a fix. While the company hasn't said what that solution is, Georgia Tech's Billy Lau says that the new OS can tell when it's plugged into a computer instead of a charger -- there shouldn't be any rude surprises. The dependence on an iOS 7-based fix could leave many users vulnerable until the fall, although the hardware-specific nature of the exploit means it's unlikely to be a major concern.

South Africa May Outlaw Spanking at Home

If the Children?s Rights Project has its way, it will soon be illegal to spank your child in South Africa. The non-govermental organization, which is?based at the University of the Western Cape, is working with South Africa?s government to draft a bill that, if passed, would outlaw corporal punishment in the home.?This is the second bid by the Children?s Rights Project to get spanking prohibited. An initial attempt failed in 2007 following opposition by cultural, religious and civil society groups.

?If a husband beats a wife it?s a crime, but if a parents hits a child who is helpless, it?s not illegal,? Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini told the Sunday Times. Under the draft law, parents would be charged with assault if, at home, they used a flat hand on a child?s bottom or enacted other forms of corporal punishment.

Critics oppose the law on the grounds that any move to ban spanking in the home could have the effect of turning ?law-abiding, diligent parents into criminals overnight.??Focus On The Family, a global Christian group, opposes the proposal, but noted to The Times that for most children, ?the removal of pleasures or privileges is actually more painful than a spanking.?

If South Africa did pass this law, it would join countries including Finland, Germany, Kenya, Poland, Sweden and Uruguay that ban corporal punishment in the home. Corporal punishment has been outlawed at South African school since 2006.

Gay couples choosing whether to re-celebrate vows

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ? Thursday will bring a new opportunity for gay couples in Minnesota and Rhode Island to throw weddings for the first time, though some will automatically be married when the clock strikes midnight.

Laws taking effect in both states will recognize the marriages of gay couples who legally married in another state or Canadian province that allows gay marriage.

Gay couples nationwide have ignored state lines in pursuit of a marriage license, even if it had no legal standing back home. As more states join those ranks, including Minnesota and Rhode Island on Thursday, such couples are deciding if another ceremony of some kind is in order.

That means those couples are deciding whether to throw a new celebration or let the day pass quietly.
