iPhone 12: price, design, release date, leaks and news

We’re expecting major updates, including the first iPhone design overhaul since 2017, potentially across a four-strong range of new iPhone 12 models, featuring a spread of different screen sizes. Whereas the current iPhone – the iPhone 11 – was more a case of ‘evolution’ rather than ‘revolution’, the iPhone 12 could well feature an all-new aesthetic and is expected to be packed with plenty of

LAKE WORTH — If strange home decor is your thing, this Bud – er, Lake Worth condo – is for you.

From the outside, the two-bedroom, 820-square-foot residence in the Lucerne Greene Condominium community near Lake Worth Road and Florida’s Turnpike, looks like any other.

But those who step inside say they’ve never seen anything like it.

Every inch of the condo’s walls and ceilings – except in its two bathrooms – is covered in cans of Budweiser beer consumed by the homeowner and his

Having been homebound for the major part of this year, it’s possible you have wondered about the effect your interior design might be having on your mental outlook. It’s a good question.

Decorating for fall is one of those simple, inexplicable, and reliable pleasures that has its chance every year, regardless of any trials and tribulations (we’re looking at you, 2020). Richly scented candles and warm-hued throw pillows are particularly attractive around this time, and with the official start of fall already behind us, it’s the moment to pull out the autumnal table runners and throw blankets.

Interior IG Team Used Evil Twins and $200 Tech to Hack Department Wi-Fi Networks

Hackers gained unauthorized access to the Interior Department’s internal systems by breaching agency Wi-Fi networks using $200 homemade hacking kits. Luckily, the attackers were white hat hackers from the Interior Office of the Inspector General.

Earlier this year, the Interior IG’s IT audit team conducted several penetration tests at bureau offices, using easily accessible hacking tools to demonstrate the fragility of the agency’s wireless networks.

“We found that the department did not deploy and operate a secure wireless network infrastructure,” the team wrote in an audit report released Wednesday. “Specifically, the department’s wireless network policy did not ensure bureaus kept

City zoning practices give residents little reason to walk

Charlotte Fairlie raises some good points about the challenge of making Iowa City a walkable community, but she barely touches on the biggest problem: for the vast majority of Iowa City, there simply isn’t any reason to walk except for exercise or pleasure. Long ago, the city government, urged no doubt by housing developers, made the decision to zone just about every square foot not taken up by streets for housing of one kind or another

Honda NSX Reimagined With Retro-Futuristic Exterior Design, Minimalist Cockpit

The NSX was a ground-breaking design for its time, a mid-engine sports car unlike the Italian exotica of that era. Marketed under the Acura brand in the United States, the first generation is also beautiful thanks to some clever styling tricks.

As such, it’s easy to understand why the second gen wasn’t received well by the NSX community and pretty much everyone else. But at the same time, Honda would have been criticized if the newcomer would have been too close to the original in terms of exterior design. One can only dream, though…
