Penis auf Rücken tätowiert
Ein 21-jähriger St. Pöltner verunstaltete eine gleichaltrige Bekannte. Mit ihr brach er auch im Stadion ein. Nun muss er in eine Anstalt für geistig abnorme Rechtsbrecher. Eine der ihm zur Last gelegten Körperverletzungen ist dauerhaft: Einer gleichaltrigen St. Pöltnerin hat er einen Penis und das Wort „Fuck“ auf den Rücken tätowiert. Nachdem der Angeklagte auf seiner damaligen Lebensgefährtin seinen Namen verewigt hatte, hatte sich das Opfer ein Yin-und-Yang-Zeichen gewünscht. Das zeichnete der St. Pöltner auch sorgfältig auf ihrem Rücken vor und zeigte ihr ein Foto zur Bestätigung. An die Vorlage hielt er sich dann aber nicht. „Am nächsten Tag, als er das Tattoo ausbessern sollte, fügt er noch ,Pascal‘ und etwas Gekritzel dazu“, berichtete eine Zeugin.

The Ninebot by Segway miniPRO
The Ninebot by Segway miniPRO is a self-balancing scooter that is a powerful cross between the larger original Segway models and the compact hoverboards that have become increasingly popular recently. The miniPRO replaced the original Segway’s large handlebars with a sleeker control bar held between the knees, and its large air-filled wheels allow for smoother rides than other hoverboards.

LOL Colorado tap water spiked with THC
The tests found something fishy in the water. In the small town of Hugo, Colo., the water coursing through public pipes, officials say, has been tainted by THC. THC, as you may know, is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. On Thursday afternoon, authorities notified the town of about 800 people that the water should not be drunk, used to cook with or even to bathe. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment later downgraded the warning — it was safe to shower, brush teeth and do laundry with the tap water. Ingestion remained inadvisable.

WSJ Reporter: Homeland Security Tried to Take My Phones at the Border
On Thursday, a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reporter claimed that the Department of Homeland Security demanded access to her mobile phones when she was crossing the border at the Los Angeles airport. The case highlights the powers that border agents purport to have, and how vulnerable sensitive information can be when taken through airports in particular. “I wanted to share a troubling experience I had with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in the hopes it may help you protect your private information,” Maria Abi-Habib, a WSJ journalist focused on ISIS and Al Qaeda wrote in a post on Facebook. (Abi-Habib confirmed to Motherboard that the Facebook account was hers, but declined to comment further.)

Thiel für Trump: Rede von Paypal-Mitgründer schockt Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley-Investor und "Arbeitsgeber" von Laura Rudas bekennt sich offen zu Trump Peter Thiel ist für seine politischen Ansichten berüchtigt: Schon 2009 schrieb er, dass seiner Meinung nach Freiheit und Demokratie nicht kompatibel seien. Außerdem beschwerte er sich über den Sozialstaat, die Übernahme der USA durch "Hippies" und US-Universitäten wie Harvard und Stanford, die er mit der "katholischen Kirche im Jahr 1514" verglich. Zuletzt sorgte Thiel für Aufsehen, indem er das umstrittene Medienportal Gawker an den Rande des Ruins brachte. Thiel hatte Ex-Wrestler Hulk Hogans Prozess gegen Gawker finanziert.

Forget Trump: Peter Thiel Is So Dangerous and Fascinating
Tonight, Peter Thiel, an openly gay immigrant hailing from San Francisco, will address the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. His speech will close out the coronation of Donald Trump as the nominee claof his party, which three days earlier finalized a platform affirming the definition of marriage as “between one man and one woman.” Thiel may seem an unlikely warm-up act for a raving nativist like Trump. But the pair are actually an impeccable ideological tag-team. In fact, Thiel outmatches Trump both in the preposterousness of his capitalistic ambition and in the sheer pathology of his political inconsistency.

In München hat das nun für einen besonders kuriosen Vorfall gesorgt. Ein Spieler, der offenbar gerade einen Marihuana-Joint rauchte, übersah dank "Pokémon Go" eine Polizeistreife und wurde prompt angezeigt.

The High Priests of Marijuana Fitness
Jim McAlpine’s plan to open the world’s first gym for marijuana enthusiasts is coming along well. Pot-related businesses are having their moment in the United States, especially in the Bay Area, where McAlpine lives and plans to open his gym, Power Plant Fitness. Arcview Market Research estimates the size of America’s marijuana industry at a fast-growing $7.2 billion, and Y Combinator, the esteemed startup accelerator, made its first investment in a cannabis business—an “uber for cannabis” delivery app—in 2015. “I’ve raised money before, and it’s been an arduous, shitty process that I hated,” says McAlpine. “This time so far it’s been a pleasure. We’re in the position where we’re picking and choosing who’s going to invest in us. A lot of professional athletes and celebrities want to get involved.”

Now You Can Hide Your Smart Home on the Darknet
The privacy software Tor has aided everything from drug dealing marketplaces to whistleblowing websites in evading surveillance on the darknet. Now that same software can be applied to a far more personal form of security: keeping hackers out of your toaster. You can still get to your baby monitor via an app or the web, but a potential hacker won’t even be able to find it. On Wednesday, the privacy-focused non-profit Guardian Project, a partner of the Tor Project that maintains and develops the Tor anonymity network, announced a new technique it’s developed to apply Tor’s layers of encryption and network stealth to protecting so-called “Internet of things” or “smart home” devices. That growing class of gadgets, ranging from refrigerators to lightbulbs to security cameras, are connected to the Internet to make possible new forms of remote management and automation. They also, as the security research community has repeatedly demonstrated, enable a new breed of over-the-Internet attacks, such as the rash of hackers harassing infants via baby monitors or the potential for hackers to steal your Gmail password from your fridge.
