The first issue of “Life” magazine ran in 1936 and lasted until 1972, before being rebooted in 1978 and making it to 2000. It returned again in 2004, lasting until 2007. It began as a weekly publication but was also at times an occasional “special” print, monthly read and newspaper supplement.
One of the most popular inconspicuous tools out there is The Onion Router or Tor, for short.
