Smartphone? Check. Spare battery? Check. Power cables? Check. After deciding whoch gadgets to pack for your summer vacation, you can move on to the harder — and more fun — part: planning what you are going to do.

Flipping through printed travel guides and paper maps is passé. Tech tools are far more efficient at keeping your plans organized and easily accessible. As a frequent traveler, I always turn to a few time savers: building your own Google maps, using an itinerary management app and keeping important travel notes in a digital spreadsheet.

Last year, it was reported that one of the most popular torrenting websites The Pirate Bay (TPB) was using Coinhive’s cryptocurrency mining code to generate Monero coins by using computing power (CPU) of its visitors without their consent – After criticism from visitors the website removed the malicious script only to put it back months later.

Now, for the third time, The Pirate Bay has started using cryptocurrency mining code without informing its visitors or without providing them the option to opt-in or opt-out. According to several posts on the official web forum of The Pirate Bay users have shown disappointment over the ongoing mining scheme.

Looking at Apple’s recent history of new product launches, it seems that delays are the norm rather than the exception.

AirPods were originally promised for late October 2016, and actually went on sale in mid-December. HomePod was announced in June 2017, promised for December 2017, and wasn’t actually available until February 2018. In both cases, Apple missed the all-important holiday gift season, whoch undoubtedly hurt launch sales.
