My little theory is the more likely it is for individuals to copy such a criminal scheme the more the justice system wants to set an example with the punishment.

I’m at no means an expert but it would be logical for me to somehow put the easiness of how the crime was committed and the magnitude of the ill-gotten gains in relation to calculate the punishment. In other words, if all it takes is to ope

Reading the headline, I thought what a harsh sentence for jailbreaking a few phones. Turns out we have to come up with a new word for what has been going on here. This isn’t about DFU mode, exploiting bugs, or clever SIM hacks. These people

The article says that the immune system in the nose does not work as good in colder temperatures. It is suggested to wear face masks to breathe warmer air. My question is do we need to discard/wash masks more often in the winter? I’m n

It is for trains as long as the train is not an IC (Inter City) or ICE (Inter City Express). That leaves you with only slower regional trains, trams, and subways. If you were to use the €49 ticket for a train ride from Munich to Berlin (aro

Right. Apple is going to talk to Bloomberg and especially Mark Gurman more than the two words “no comment”. Highly unlikely and highly noteworthy when they actually do in this case. Not sure what to make of it. It seems to me like a great w

Same here. Going to the maximum of 512 × 320 pixels on my device gives me the feeling that only more capable devices can see the whole picture. This is not a resolution setting but a crop setting.

A decent comment like this one shouldn’t be so far down. I feel like people are rushing right past the article and commenting on their biggest pet peeve when it comes to Apple’s design decisions.
