What computer is she using?

That, my friend, is an Apple ][, ][+, or ][e with a green-screen monitor.  The design on the screen is the girl using either [wiki=Logo_(programming_language)]Logo[/wiki] to draw something interesting, or the Apple BASIC's PLOT command and some standard geometry formulas.

If you’re planning to sell your old Android smartphone then you need to think again because there is a weakness in the Android Factory Reset option that could be exploited to recover your login credentials, text messages, emails and pictures even if you have wiped its memory clean.

This definitely needs more attention ...(Ransomware Decryption and Removal Tool)... I hadn't realized the option even existed.

If you're a woman!?

That should have been #10.  My candidate for #11 is You are not now, never have been, and never will be on AOL.  :)

I don't believe Apple has released the fix yet. So if you still want to crash some iPhones, you still can. How many people here want to do that and how many times do you want to do it?

^Guilty - There was a rash of iPhone crashes at our office the other day ... Which strangely coincided with a lot of giggling coming out of the IT department.

...Reason unknown. :-\ :D

BioLite CampStove has been around for a couple of years and there's also PowerPot (no, it's not really good grass) that was a KickStarter project recently.
