Adam Mudd, 20, lived in Hertfordshire, small town in the United Kingdom. I say ”lived” because he will be spending next two years in a much less warm and comfortable environment of prison cell. Young man has been sentenced after proven guilty of numerous hacker attacks which netted him a considerable sum of five hundred thousand pounds.It all begun four years ago. Then sixteen years old, young Adam (who is also, by the way, autistic. As much as it saddens me to say that, this was probably the cause of the boy having too much spare time on his hands) wrote a virus that he dubbed ...

Smartphones are made bigger and bigger, no way around it. Just a few years ago, a four inch phone would be considered big as heck; today, 5ive and a half inch is considered normal. Don’t like it? Tough luck, you don’t have a choice. Unless…Kickstarter, a popular crowdfunding platform, is home to a new smartphone project. Called Jelly, it is a two and a half inch small (!!) smartphone. Project’s funding is already over, with it collecting needed money in only an hour (!!!). Phone will be sold for 59 dollars, and should come out sometime in August, so get ready to grab ...

Not much of a smartphone news, I know, but I am sure some of you will find you interesting nevertheless. Overwatch, Blizzard’s ultimate success of a multiplayer shooter game, has seen three new characters introduced to the game. Now, Blizzard is taking one of the most popular of the game’s characters, D.Va, out of the game, at least for some time. The company has not revealed much info on the issue, only stating that, after the most recent patch, presence of that particular character has caused a large number of game crashes.Do not worry, D.Va players. Things like this are not ...

Facebook and its chat app Messenger are notorious for taking up much of the smartphone’s resources, hence why their mobile (Lite) versions have been developed some time ago. In the beginning, Messenger Lite was available only in five countries: Tunisia, Malaysia, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, Kenya. As you might have noticed, these are all developing countries, where most people cannot afford a high-end smartphone that would have no problem handling Facebook and Messenger – hence why the Lite version of them was released there. Now, though, the list of Lite-approved countries has grown ...

Jason Sylvain, 41-years old living in Mountain View (cool surname, by the way), was on his way when suddenly, out of nowhere, an evil, egg-shaped robot assaulted him! Sylvain, hero of humanity, punched the machine, defending mankind against the metal threat. Soon after, he was detained by the human slaves of the robotic overlords…… okay, that is not how it happened XD.

I am sure you have seen at least a few movies about prison life. Do you remember contraband scenes? Items smuggled in transport cars, delivered to receivers by book or laundry wagons, handed from inmate to inmate until they reach the right hand. Well, I hope you will remember these pictures, because times of contrabanda being done that way seem to be over…21st century sees a drastic increase in science and technology. Some of that tech angers us, some of it helps us. This particular way of using it can be counted as… both? Government of Great Britain noticed an increase in ...

DJI, a company that deals in, among other things, drones, have bought a majority stake at Hasselblad, a high quality camera producer. Together, those two firms have begun and are slowly completing their work on M600, a camera drone. This drone is basically three items melded into one: the drone itself (six batteries, dust resistance, Lightbridge 2 system), 100mpx camera with 53,4 mm x 40 mm sensor and a Ronin-MX gimbal that works as a stabilizator. If you do not know much about that tech (like me), let me rephrase – this will be a high quality, costly drone. We do not know its price ...

You know how United States government (oh, Donald) have decided to ban tablets and laptops from being taken into plane cabins? For now, the ban applies ”only” to ten Arabic countries from North Africa and Middle East, but if things go south, the prohibition will hit us Europeans as well. According to The Guardian, american administration considers doing just that.”British officials understand that their US counterparts are looking at extending the ban – which prevents any devices larger than a smartphone being taken as carry-on luggage – to flights from ...

This one kind of sounds like a BS, but hey, even if not true, at least it’s entertaining. Long story short, a Reddit user nicknamed FiletOfFish1066 has shared the story of how he managed to avoid work for six years while making full salary. FiletOfFish1066 was an IT technician. His job was to test software made by other developers. According to his own words, Filet did not feel like doing all this work. Instead, he spent first eight months of work on writing a program that automated his work for him. Then he could just kick back, relax and play some League of Legends for well over ...
