A card to be used on the new terminal that has replaced the smartphone heat packet (like a Galaxy S7 or Edge 7, for example). And this is not all.

All expenses paid, reservation and transportation included. What definitely forget the little hassles of the Note 7.

Bletchley Park, the campus where the Great Britain was attended by some 70 years of its best researchers to decode the communications of the nazis, will become a school dedicated to cyber-security. Starting in 2018, a hundred students of 16 to 18 years will be accommodated on the campus, which is already hosting the british museum of computing, within the new 'cyber-school'. Some of the buildings used by the researchers during the second world war, and now abandoned, will be restored to the favor of the project.
