The not-so-secret life of Chinese hackers
Most of the time when you read stories about the much reviled Chinese hacker it's in the context of some cyberattack perpetrated on some website that has stupidly dared to hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. But really, what are Chinese hackers doing most of the time: well, duh, same thing everybody else is: trying to make some moolah.

Formula 1 Goes Retro-Racing With the Return of Lotus
Amidst all of the bickering, wrangling and hand-wringing consuming the Formula One teams when they aren’t on the track comes word that Lotus could return to the sport next year. Yes, that would be the same Lotus founded by Colin Chapman, one of the greatest innovators racing ever saw. The same Lotus that revolutionized F1 on more than one occasion.
The retro-racing vibe goes deeper. Brabham, the outfit launched by “Black Jack” Brabham and once owned by F1 capo di tutti capi Bernie Ecclestone has its eyes on the grid. There’s also some mumbling about Lola and March fielding cars next year.

Kichern mit Kiffern
Handlung? Ist in "Bang Boom Bang" nur Nebensache. Die deutsche Kifferkomödie lebt über seine Figuren - pseudoharte Macker und heiße Ruhrpottbienen, alle neben der Spur, aber allesamt zum Liebhaben.
Was ist eigentlich aus dem deutschen Kifferfilm geworden? Kurz vor und nach der Jahrtausendwende sah es mal so aus, als berge das Genre viel kreatives Potenzial, eine Annahme, die sich bei näherer Betrachtung allerdings gerade mal aus zwei Filmen generiert: "Lammbock" aus dem Jahr 2001 ist der eine, die amüsante, eher harmlose Geschichte eines Botendienstes für sehr spezielle Pizzen in Würzburg. "Bang Boom Bang" von Peter Thorwarth aus dem Jahr 1999 ist der andere - und bessere.

Running Spirals Illusion
Before I show you how our newest optical illusion works, I’d like to mention we got ourselves a brand new widget - our very own iPhone app, to be more precise. Took some time to get this developed and then approved by Apple, but the results are finally here. If you own an iPhone, and would like to show some kind of support to this website, I’d appreciate highly you getting this app to your iPhone.
