Apparently it happens and would be quite easy in a fake free-standing ATM but I can't imagine it being particularly difficult for the person behind you to then take a thermographic image once you're done.

On a slightly different note, don't trust free standing ATMs as they are ridiculously easy to fake.

Damn, everyone's picked up on the dumb mistake!

POS terminals are on the whole quite safe nowadays as they are generally the handheld ones so the card is swiped by the you as opposed to the cashier. They used to be way more dangerous as cashiers would take the card behind the counter and swipe the card twice (once in the proper terminal and one in a replicator).

Haha, of course! The cooler ones were typed in first—I'm clearly being a little slow today.

On the left is the view they get from a thermal camera, a single photo that can be taken once you've finished your transaction (as the buttons retain the heat from your fingers for quite a while). From photos like these, they can have a pretty good guess of the order of the numbers based on the hotspot (so in this…

Some cameras use infra-red cameras or, as someone else mentioned, overlays that detect key presses. The solution, before and after it asks for your PIN, press some random keys as well as pretend presses whilst typing the PIN

When you go to a website like the BBC, your IP address tells the website where you are in the world. That means that if the website sees that you aren't in the UK, it will block things like live streaming, iPlayer etc. A VPN (that stands for Virtual Private Network) is a system that means your IP address seems to be…

I'm very surprised not more people have said this. My Kindle Keyboard 3G covers emails, news and of course books, so it's pretty damned useful in the middle of Kenya or what-not. After kindle, it's my camera!

Why could you not get it to land safely again for reuse? Also, it says the weapon is low-budget but do you have any idea approx how much a single flight would cost?

Assuming you're outside of the UK, get a UK VPN and watch on the BBC website. With 24 live channels showing every event, the ability to rewind and pause, an instant factfile of every athlete whilst in fullscreen mode and tonnes more, the BBC stream is most likely going to be the most full-on coverage online!

I don't think you properly read what I wrote. The stock browser got enough nominations to earn a place in the Hive Five, but as the following extract from the article suggests, was not included as they are trying to find alternatives.

Out of interest, the Hive Five of Android browsers excluded the stock browser despite the huge number of nominations as the article's intention was to find alternatives. So why is Safari, the stock browser on iOS, included in this Hive Five?

Mike Duncan's 'The History of Rome' http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ is TOP CLASS

"a first for online retail" That's not entirely true. Here in the UK tech retailer Maplin do 90 min delivery

Or don't lose it before you lose it!!! That trick works a treat and saved me numerous times where a weaker man would have lost his phone

Does no-one use charcoal nowadays? Gas always seems like cheating—you may as well just do it in the kitchen...

I'm not actually a fan of Chrome, too many hang ups and nowhere near as reliable as the others. It is also not really designed for the touchscreen (fat thumbs and all) so everything is a little hit-and-miss!

EXACTLY what I did. I don't think my grandfather ever realised it was a completely different browser.
