For DVB-T you only need an internal antenna (depending on signal strength, external) and a set-top box. Modern TVs have the units build in. But you can only receive a few programmes.

Well, you could just use DVB-T and watch local television. In Germany ARD and ZDF, both publicly financed, broadcast the Olympics and are available in every area.

The display of my white 2006 iMac. It is just perfect in my eyes. But unfortunately the attached computer doesn't fit today's needs as a primary computer and you can't attach any external devices to it.

I like Moleskine notebooks but they are just too expensive. I'd rather go with "lesser" brands / no-name brands. All that matters is their functionality; who cares what brand the paper is you write on.

Do you see any new trends in technology or scientific discoveries that will impact our lives in the next decades but are widely underappreciated? (like new materials, or light field, 3D printers at home, ...). Or put simply: What are the great things you expect from the not-too-distant future, technology-wise?

Another alternative would be Walimex' offering: cheap, manual-only, 8mm and 3.5.

But in this picture the right way is the moron way. Or didn't I understand #72 correctly?

I have just tested it on myself since I have never paid much attention how I hold the camera in "portrait position". Shooting the "you look like a moron" way stabilises the image a bit since my body supports my right arm.

I agree. I needs to be mentioned here. Very good movie about a real Cold War era hacker who (probably) committed suicide. Watch it.

Well we won't find out for sure until Mythbusters tests it.

Bilinguality may be a contributing factor. I'm not sure how it's handled in Belgium, but official documents may even be trilingual.

If you advertise it as a 4G device it should be able to connect to local 4G networks. And it's not like the frequencies in Europe are so different in every country, the LTE standard here is 800MHz and 2,6GHz.

A clever way would be to use letters from another alphabet (which are afaik allowed for second level domains). You could use the cyrillic alphabet which shares some letters that look like letters from the latin alphabet.

Why does chubby American man grind electronics into fine powder?

Anyone interested in an Ice Cream Sandwich?

I must say I'm a bit displeased that Apple markets the device as "Wifi+4G" in Europe although it does not support the local LTE frequencies (800 MHz + 2.6 GHz + others depending on region/carrier).

"profit" - these are just the _estimated_ costs of the parts. There are of course fixed costs like patents, licences, R&D, etc., but also other variable costs for each iPad produced like manufacturing, shipping, licences (per unit).
