Cause fuck dem hipsters.

Beware which NFC tags you buy. Some smartphones like the Google Nexus 4 don't like the roomy Mifare-tags. You end up having to buy cramped small tags that can hold very little data. You can store the tasks on your phone, but you'll end up having to do that for each damn mobile device you have which can grow tedious.

You should be able to do a tethered jailbreak on an iPhone 4, but an untethered jailbreak, don't expect that for 6.1.3, any exploits the evad3rs and other jailbreak-hackers have found are probably being saved for iOS 7 or whichever the next new version will be.

I prefer a window seat on the left. Don't know why, perhaps it's related to left-handedness, perhaps it's related to me always sitting behind the driver's seat of a car when I was a kid.

virtually the same doesn't mean anything really. If there's only a slight mechanical difference, expect to need a dremel tool to make them fit.

Those trolley buses are about the only thing that doesn't look staged, and that's because they look horribly worn, as if they got them from Budapest about a decade ago (Budapest being one of few cities still using trolley buses).

Balls of steel: that man has them. It takes a special combination of skill, bravery (some might call it lunacy) and dedication to drive such a vehicle in those conditions on the world's most challenging race track.

Except actually looking for the router would instantly make you suspicious. Don't place the damn thing in the middle of the living room, put it in a bookshelf or something and tape the password under the foot or on the side facing the wall if you're gonna screw it on there.

Whether something is on public display or not does not alter the rules. Under US law (US copyright act of 1976), whoever holds copyright of the original work has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works, pictures falling under said category unless it can be proven the original work is not the subject of the…

Nope. If you take a picture with a creative work in it, you owe the maker of that creative work royalties unless you have the proper permissions or can prove the painting isn't the subject of the picture. A creative work can be a painting, statue, a building,...

I'm using XBMC on an iPad, my desktop, my notebook and my Raspberry Pi with one shared mySQL-database for the media library and the files on a SMB share. Sure setting up a home server with Samba and mySQL is a bit comples for your average joe, but there's a fine guide on lifehacker for the mySQL-db and there are…

The new movies are in a parallel universe with a timeline that doesn't really match the continuity of the main universe and multiverse theory is difficult for people not familiar with the scifi at hand. You raise some good arguments but I am inclined to disagree. I would deem starting with Wrath of Khan, then going…

Not until you manage to put a McDonald's there. Good luck with that while most American politicians are only interested in personal gain rather than actually doing good for current and future generations.

Perhaps you should move to an Amish society.

Cause we're humans and not dull Vulcans.

The article title contained the word "gory". Should have been a hint that it wasn't a work-safe vid.

It takes two photos: one overexposed, one underexposed. It processes them to create a pseudo-HDR photo. Proper HDR takes one normally exposed, one underexposed and one overexposed photo and really requires a tripod to get nice results.
