I had this happen at the Shenzhen airport a few weeks ago. They confiscated my Apple MagSafe battery because it didn't have the CCC mark. From the looks of it, they were confiscating a lot of them. It was a missed opportunity for someo

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I can still remember how to play the original Doom after all these years (and where all the secrets are!) but the modern editions have so many controls and weapon modes that if I don't pl

I had the same experience as you on a trip to the Netherlands. Ironically, the only place where it didn't work was the Apple store in Amsterdam. I don't know if that was an actual technical limitation, or they were aware that it

The Home Depot stores near me do this really well. Since they also sell a lot of bulky and/or oddly shaped merchandise, their self checkouts each have a wireless, handheld barcode scanner that you can use to scan each item, often witho

But it wasn't the FAA that placed the blame on the SpaceShipTwo designers, it was the NTSB. Hopefully there's a similarly independent agency that can lead an investigation of the NOTAM debacle.
