HTTP:: Sprung Unlockables V DS
--------
Video games can tackle a wide range of genres, from shooters, in either first- or third-person view, to intricate, role-playing or racing titles. But, sometimes, in an effort to find innovation and to “break” the market, some developers try more unorthodox approaches.Such is the case with Guillemot Inc., which is responsible for the dating simulator Sprung. The title, which was published by Ubisoft, appeared on December 8, 2004 in North America and reached European shores on March 11, the next year.The purpose of the game is to meet up, talk and eventually hook up with other people, depending on one's genre. The location is at a remote winter resort called Snowbird Mountain, where players can interact with other characters and complete all of the 50 dating missions included in the main story. From interacting with drama queens and kings to more normal characters, Sprung promises a great story, penned by Colleen McGuinnes from the famous TV series North Shore.“We're th!
rilled to bring three genre-leading titles to the Nintendo DS that each reach a very different, yet broad, audience,” Tony Kee, vice president of marketing, Ubisoft, said about Sprung and a few other titles for the platform. “The Nintendo DS is an innovative and unique portable videogame system. We're excited to match that ...

HTTP:: Sporting Days in the United Kingdom
--------
The summer months are long and hot and the relative lack of movement in the United Kingdom videogame chart seems to reflect that. Still, it makes sense to take a look at it and see which games perform in these tough economic times.The top position remains in the hands of Wii Sports Resort from Nintendo, which is being published for the Wii home gaming console. It's not clear whether the game is successful because players enjoy the activities included, like cycling, archery and wakeboarding, or because it is sold together with the Wii Motion Plus, an add-on for the Wiimote, which promises more complete motion tracking for upcoming games.Second spot in the chart is taken over by another Nintendo Wii bound game, Wii Fit, which was released last year and still manages regular top ten finishes. EA Sports breaks the Nintendo monopoly on the top positions with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, another sports-oriented game.Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince, released by Electronic Art!

Pingie: HTTP:: Female Body Hatred Crisis or What Happens When Perfection Becomes Norm

HTTP:: Female Body Hatred Crisis or What Happens When Perfection Becomes Norm
--------
Women are going through what has already been labeled the most severe and potentially damaging crisis in the history of mankind. With images of perfection plastered all around them, they have come to realize that nothing short of perfection is expected from them as well, which, in turn, has led to them developing a feeling of pure hatred towards their bodies. When perfection becomes norm, women are nearly lost, William Leith writes for the Daily Mail. Leith says women are in crisis because beauty has come to mean much more than each individual’s attractiveness rated arbitrarily. The media has helped set up certain standards that all women feel forced to meet and, clearly, when they fail to do so (or, similarly, come to the realization they couldn’t attain such ideals in a thousand years), they start hating what they have become, at the same time trying to change it. When they fail at that too, they enter a vicious circle consisting of attempts and failure which keeps !
the economy going (be that circle dieting, working out, or beauty treatments and cosmetic procedures), Leith says. “This female body-hatred has got out of hand. You can see it in magazines in the newsagents. From a distance, the predominant color is the tawny-pink of perfect female flesh. And then...

Spore was one of last year's biggest and most hyped-up titles to appear. Being the next big thing from Sims creator Will Wright and promising to let players create their own creature and then guide it through the stages of its evolution, the title became very popular on the PC.But the new franchise has also received a handheld version, in the form of Spore Creatures, which was made through a collaboration between the owner of the rights and the creator of the PC version, Maxis, and Foundation 9. The title was released on September 5, 2008 in Europe and in North America on September 7, the same year.It borrows a lot of features from the PC version, as it will allow players to have the same basic experience, which touches on creativity, exploration, sharing and collecting. The unique features of the Nintendo DS are the stylus, the touchscreen setup and the wireless connection that is included.

Brutal Legend is one of the most interesting games to appear at the end of this year and one of the very few that aren't sequels and which are based on a more unusual premise in terms of story and design. Created by famous designer Tim Schafer, it will tell the story of a heavy-metal odyssey in which symbols of the famous music genre will be plentiful. But, as most of you know, heavy metal isn't exactly the best thing you can expose a small child to, so the team at Double Fine, which is developing the title, has revealed that a profanity filter will be emplaced so that parents and children can play the game together and enjoy the great experience that is Brutal Legend. Tim Schafer revealed that the profanity filters would bleep out all the swearing and that the whole idea was inspired from a previous Tim Schafer game, Psychonauts, which was registered T, while Brutal Legend is M. “I got a lot of letters after Psychonauts saying 'I really like playing this game with my k!
ids', and so the next thing that we thought about was that people liked to do that,” Schafer said. “But there's a certain age where - there are certain players who are old enough, but just don't really like playing with all that stuff.

Tokyo, Japan-based Elpida Memory has announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Germany-based Qimonda AG memory vendor to acquire Qimonda technology licenses and a part of the company's design assets, related to the Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR), a memory architecture specifically developed for graphics applications. With the announcement, Elpida Memory is making its first steps into the market for graphics memory, expanding its portfolio to a wider range of products and services.   “Graphics systems now need graphics buffer memory with a data transfer rate of more than 5-Gigabit/sec given the rapidly growing popularity of high-definition format graphics data, 3D graphics and various display formats,” said Takao Adachi, Elpida's chief technology officer. “In response to this need we will shortly begin commercial production of GDDR5, for which an even faster data transfer rate of 8-Gigabit/sec may be feasible in the near future. To achieve such high !
speeds advanced technologies for I/O signal transmission as well as internal high speed circuits are crucial. The important GDDR technologies we have acquired can now contribute not only to Elpida's graphics memory development but also to the imp...

As Windows 7 is getting closer to its launch day, more and more eyes are turning towards it. Compatibility, security or stability issues are hunted down by Microsoft and testers around the world, so that none slips in the final version. One possible bug has been recently spotted, labeled as “major” by its finder or “critical” by other voices, and it is said to be capable of altering the launch of the client. Ryan Price details the bug on his blog: “this particular issue looks strangely out of place and makes you wonder how exactly this passed through validation: To Reproduce: 1. Run an elevated CMD prompt 2. Run CHKDSK &lt;drive letter:&gt; /r 3. With task manager open, you should see your memory quickly gobbled away in the chkdsk.exe process until it either stops at or around 90% or it maxes completely out and crashes the computer.” According to Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky, who comments on the story, this is not a bug; Windows 7 has been designed to react th!

News Corp., one of the largest media companies in the world, posted its financial results for the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year and it doesn't look good for the media giant. While net income was of $5.4 billion last year, 2009 shows the company heading for a loss of $3.4 billion. All of its businesses are underperforming but a big part of this loss can be attributed to Fox Interactive Media, a subsidiary that handles MySpace among other smaller sites, which posted a $363 million loss. “I am pleased that we are reporting adjusted operating income right in line with the guidance we previously provided during the last six months which reflects a decline of approximately 30%,” News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch commented. “The past year has been the most difficult in recent history, and our 2009 financial performance clearly reflects the weak economic environment that we confronted throughout the year. We streamlined all our businesses and continue to do so, at the!

“I sing to make people happy,” Susan Boyle, the 48-year-old spinster hailing from a small English town who dazzled the entire world with her amazing voice on the Britain’s Got Talent auditions, tells Harper’s Bazaar. Dressed in designer gowns and keeping her balance on towering heels, with her hair and makeup impeccable, but also looking more confident than ever, Susan Boyle, once dubbed the “Hairy Angel” is now the “Unsung hero” in the latest issue of the mag. The transformation Boyle underwent for what is her first photo shoot ever is striking, to say the least. Not only is she dressed fancier than ever before and has better makeup and hair (after all, both have been done by professionals), but there is also a certain sense of having more confidence as well. As Laura Brown, Harper’s special projects editor, says, Susan Boyle seems to no longer walk: she floats just like an angel. At the same time, the singer, currently working on her debut album, has!

One of the most popular cellphones that became available on the market this year is the Samsung Galaxy GT-I7500, the first handset the South Korean mobile phone maker launched under Google's Android operating system. The device is already available for purchase in several markets, featuring a black coat, and it seems that a new flavor might get ready to make its appearance. This time around, however, the phone will come dressed up in white and, who knows, we might also have the opportunity to witness an “intergalactic” launch for the Galaxy. The images with the white iteration of the phone surfaced on The Unwired, which says that the new flavor should become available on the market as soon as this summer, sporting the same capabilities as the black variant. Basically, this means that the white Galaxy will include quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 900/1700/2100 MHz, as well as Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, a built-in GPS receiver, a 3.5 mm headset jack,!

Activision's Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest and most profitable video game series in the world. Already up to five full-fledged installments, the series is gearing up to receive the biggest one yet, in the form of the direct sequel to the award-winning Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. But even though all of the media buzz is around Modern Warfare 2, it seems that Activision hasn't forgotten how popular the Nintendo Wii is and how it didn't manage to bring the first Modern Warfare onto the platform. As such, it has just announced that its Treyarch studio, which handled development of Call of Duty 3 and the more recent Call of Duty: World at War, will be porting the award-winning Modern Warfare onto the Nintendo Wii platform, and will release it at the same time as Modern Warfare 2, on November 10. The original Modern Warfare appeared only on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but managed to reach over 14 million units sold across the world, and is still one !
of the most played games online, even though recently a lot of cheaters and hackers invaded the multiplayer mode.

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) have recently unveiled their joint plans of exploring Mars between 2015 and 2020. Under the agreement, ESA is to build a trace-gas orbiter, a spacecraft able to detect gas plumes emanating from the Red Planet and to image the surface. The Europeans will also deploy the large ExoMars rover, which is about the size of a Mini Cooper. NASA will deliver the European rover, as well as a robotic explorer of its own, a mid-sized sample-caching rover, Nature News reports. “These two rovers will be focused on astrobiology â€" seeking the signs of life,” said on July 29 Doug McCuistion, who is the NASA Mars program chief. He was speaking to an advisory committee meeting of the US Mars community, which was held at the Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island. According to the expert, the decisions were made at the end of June, as officials from the two space agencies met in Plymouth!

HTTP:: Laser Flashes Grow Crystals in Gel
--------
The study of protein structures is a very complex and delicate one, focusing on tiny formations at a very small scale. But this field of research could soon benefit from a large push forward, as researchers recently announced the development of a new laser technology, which allows the use of light pulses to grow High-quality crystals that are indispensable to protein study. In their studies, biologists use crystals so that they can imagine the structure of proteins via X-ray imaging. Other chemicals are also used in the process, Nature News reports. Additionally, in the pharmaceutical industry, for instance, the production of crystals inside various chemicals is of the utmost importance, as is having their ability to trigger their formation at a moment's notice. This is precisely what the new technology is trying to provide â€" a way of creating high-quality crystals simply by shining bright and fast pulses of laser light onto a specific kind of gel. “Crystallization stil!
l remains largely a black art,” explains Imperial College London protein crystallographer Stephen Curry. The first step of the process, when the actual aggregation begins around a nucleation point (a spec of dust or a crystal seed), is the most difficult to control, he adds. In the new technology, developed by a team of r...

HTTP:: People Need to Be Confident in Nintendo 039 s Vitality Sensor
--------
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo was really something of a roller coaster in terms of big announcements. While the peaks were registered at Microsoft and Sony's press meetings, a lot of people went home disappointed by the one held by Nintendo. Even though the company revealed quite a few new titles in prestigious franchises like Mario, Zelda or Metroid, everyone started scratching their heads when Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata, revealed the Wii Vitality Sensor. He revealed that, because it would track biological data from the player (or patient, according to many attendees), it would enhance the whole Wii experience for many users. We then heard Nintendo of America’s president, Reggie Fils-Aime, reveal that a lot of surprises would appear as regards the intriguing peripheral. Now, famous game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who has created characters like Mario or Link for the Japanese company, talks about the new sensor and how people need to “have confid!
ence” in him and the company on this subject. He also admits that compatible software would have been a great help and with it the new device would have had a bigger impact. “Ideally we would have been able to talk about this in terms of the software implementation rather than just the...

HTTP:: The Peculiar Nature of 11 Billion Year Old Galaxies
--------
Scientists gained the ability to peer way back into the Universe's history some time ago, but some of the discoveries they made were not exactly in tune with some of the theories that were developed to explain astronomical phenomena today. In a recent such find, distant stars, estimated to be about 11 billion light-years away, in the early Universe, were discovered to travel at about 1 million miles per hour, about twice faster than our own Sun moves through the Milky Way. The study is so important because it adds more substance to previous finds, which showed a peculiar trend among early galaxies. According to astronomers, the youngest and most massive new galaxies that were formed within 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang were very heavy, yet extremely compact and hyperactive. The reason why these galaxies were on average about five times smaller than the same type as today has thus far eluded scientific understanding. “A lot of people were thinking we had overesti!
mated these masses in the past. But this confirms they are extremely massive for their size. These galaxies are indeed as bizarre as we thought they were,” says of the new study its leader, Pieter van Dokkum, who is an astronomer at the Yale University. For the new investigation, his team focused on a galaxy designated as...

Pingie: HTTP:: Immune System Enzymes Sense Viral RNA

HTTP:: Immune System Enzymes Sense Viral RNA
--------
Experts from Penn State and the University of Connecticut, in the US, and the University of Beijing, in China, have recently discovered the fact that a certain enzyme inside the human immune system is able to detect certain pairs of viral RNA belonging to infecting pathogens. The enzyme, known as protein kinase R (PKR), is regulated differently by common RNA inside the body and the RNA in pathogens, and its changes provide a basis for biologists to assess what kind of infection it might be. “PKR plays an important role in the human immune system. It is activated by long stretches of double-stranded RNA. As a part of our built-in immune response, PKR can recognize viral double-stranded RNAs and inhibit their production,” the first author of the new study, chemistry graduate student Laurie Heinicke, from the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), explains. “Once activated by certain RNAs, PKR stops protein synthesis in the infected cell and ultimately causes cel!
l death,” she adds, quoted by e! Science News. When infecting a host, viruses are in the nasty habit of injecting their own genetic material inside cells, forcing them to essentially produce more generations of viruses, rather than their usual chemicals. In order for this to happen, viral RNA is released inside the cell. If ...

HTTP:: Intelligent Crutch Can Tell If It 039 s Used Properly
--------
Engineers at the University of Southampton (USouthampton) have recently developed a new type of crutch, one that features sensors alerting its wielder if it's using it properly or not. The force sensors on the new instrument can tell if the pressure applied on it is correctly distributed or not, and the three accelerometers can detect how the patient walks. Behind the study are USouthampton School of Electronics and Computer Science experts Professor Neil White and Dr. Geoff Merrett, who worked together with Southampton General Hospital physiotherapist Georgina Hallett, AlphaGalileo reports. The instrument can also detect the amount of force that is being applied to the leg that is supposed to be protected by wearing the crutch, and also if the patients hold their hands properly on the crutch. The sensors and accelerometers are wirelessly connected to the computer. The data received is processed for accuracy, and a visual display alerts the patient if the position he or s!
he is having is correct or not. The new device should not be too expensive, the team reveals, because it makes use of commercially available components, and accelerometers comparable to those found in Nintendo Wii consoles. “A growing number of people are in need of physiotherapy, but reports from physiotherapists indicat...

HTTP:: Spirit Images Colorful 039 Devil 039
--------
Engineers from the jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California, have recently obtained one of the most peculiar pictures that the rover Spirit ever sent back from the Red Planet. By combining three photographs taken seconds apart from each other, and snapped in different color filters, they obtained the first picture of a dust devil on Mars that looks like a rainbow. The robot is still stuck in a patch of loose soil known as “Troy,” as experts continue their efforts to devise escape strategies, ScienceDaily informs. The special-effect shot taken recently shows the devil as it moves in front of Spirit's camera, and then disappears out of the frame. The colors that appear in the photo are due to the special filters that were used to take the pictures, all sensitive to different wavelengths of visible light. They were snapped on the 1,919th Martian day of the robot's mission, May 27th, 2009, back on Earth. According to experts, the dust devils appeared on the Red P!
lanet when the same conditions were met as on Earth â€" the Sun heats the surface, and creates a layer of hot air just above it. Being less dense, that air tends to rise, picking up the finer sand particles on the surface and sending them upwards. In the five years since Spirit has been on Mars, it has pictured more than...

In an interesting turn of events, what was considered to be good parenting skills in the early half of the 20th century is now considered to be among the worst ways to raise your children. Whereas in the past parents would let their children run like crazy in the streets, but insisted that they restrained themselves at home â€" and beat them so that the demand stuck â€" a new study now finds that parents prefer having their children on a tighter leash in public, while cutting them some slack back at home. The end-result, researchers quoted by LiveScience say, would be “wild” children at home, who barely restrain themselves in public. “Today's parents face demands that require near-constant surveillance of their children. Allowing children more autonomy to express themselves and their disagreements at home may well be a response to the loss of more substantial forms of children's autonomy to move through and participate in their communities on their own,” Wellesle!

EA Sports is one of the main drivers behind the better than expected results announced by publisher Electronic Arts. Sure, the company has posted a loss and declining revenue but the situation is better than originally projected. EA Sports is set to continue the trend by introducing a new Madden title, labeled Arcade.The division has offered quite a few hits, with EA Sports Active selling 1.8 million units and providing a rare Nintendo Wii hit and with other games also bringing in more revenue than expected. One of the titles singled out by Peter Moore, the head of EA Sports, was Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.He told investors that “I think the real excitement around Tiger is the Wii version with the Wii MotionPlus. We've seen tremendous growth year-on-year,” adding that “When you're actually replicating the natural movement of the sport with the Wii motion control, that has been the key.”The Madden NFL franchise is also crucial and Electronic Arts is gearing up for the r!

Pingie: HTTP:: Gears of War 3 Might Have Playable Female Characters

HTTP:: Gears of War 3 Might Have Playable Female Characters
--------
The Gears of War franchise captured the imagination of a lot of hardcore gamers out there, particularly because it depicted big burly men wielding large guns with chainsaw bayonets at the end and fighting “the good fight” against a race of underground monsters called the Locusts. But while the main group of characters, Delta Squad, depicted male stereotypes in the first two games, with one of them even trying to hint at a little bit of drama in the second, female gamers were largely left with almost no representative of their genre, except for communications officer Anya Stroud. But it seems that this might change in the next installment of the series, Gears of War 3, as the new Gears-themed comic hints at a new female COG soldier, named Alex, who seems to be right at home with fighting Locusts and taking down Brumaks, as seen in the pictures attached to the article. When asked about the possibility of more female characters by 1 vs. 100 Live host Chris Cashman, Clif!
f Bleszinski, the man behind the game series, revealed that he couldn't comment on “'possible aspects' of a game that 'may or may not' be in development.” He then said that the girl from the comic series “'may or may not' be involved in any 'as-yet-unannounced' video game projects.”

HTTP:: Tips for Snacking Smart and Losing Weight
--------
The key to losing weight and keeping it off is not, as we might be tempted to believe, sticking to a restrictive diet, but rather learning how to cheat better on it, as recent studies have shown. Another solution to drop the extra pounds is by eating plenty of snacks throughout the day: however, FitSugar warns, there are several aspects on snacks we must bear in mind at all times. Health experts and nutritionists tell us that snacking in between meals is actually recommended, because it helps eliminate the feeling of severe hunger, thus, the risk of overeating once we sit down at the table. Snacks are also ideal to keep our energy levels up throughout the day, as well as to lose weight, as long as we make sure we don’t go above the 150-200-calorie limit per each individual snack. With this in mind, next up we can focus on the do’s and don’ts of snacking smart. The first thing we need to learn about snacks is that there is a big difference between snack and treat, a!
s FitSugar also points out. While snacks have the function of boosting the energy level by meeting one or more of our nutritional needs, treats do no such thing, their only purpose being that of satisfying a craving.

Pingie: HTTP:: 50 Year Old Plankton Blooming Theory Debunked

HTTP:: 50 Year Old Plankton Blooming Theory Debunked
--------
It's in the natural cycle of the North Atlantic Ocean to turn green every summer, when plankton blooms and becomes noticeable even from satellite. Made up of hundred of billions of small microorganisms and tiny crustaceans, it represents the basis of the marine ecosystem, and is indispensable to life in the oceans. For more than 50 years, scientists thought they had an explanation as to why this cycle occurred and what caused it. Now, a decade's worth of satellite investigations proved the theory bogus. Until now, marine biologists thought that the plankton was generated when summer heat radiated into the ocean. The temperature rose constantly, and then, once a certain threshold was reached, life began to appear. This is the common-sense theory, and its deductibility was one of the main reasons why it was seldom questioned. Now, experts prove with the help of ten years' worth of satellite readings that this is not what happens in reality, and that the plankton begins to bl!
oom at the end of the winter season. “We found that the north Atlantic bloom was starting much earlier than we thought and it didn’t coincide with an improvement in the growth conditions from the phytoplankton. It started in January,” Oregon State University phytoplankton ecologist Michael Behrenfeld explains, quoted b...

It's hard for videogame aficionados to become socially accepted with all the faults of modern society, from obesity to lack of education, blamed upon them. But it seems that more and more people involved in the business have begun seeing them as something that grown ups can do and enjoy without being stigmatized.Eliza Dushku, who is now playing the lead role of Echo in the Joss Whedon series Dollhouse while also providing the voice and likeness for the main character Rubi Malone in WET, told the BBC that “Videogames have almost become acceptable and cool for grown ups - not for people who are just in their teens. I know so many people - friends, actors, directors - who are older and used to maybe play in private, but who can now say it loud and proud.” Dushku has a long history with videogames, having also worked on Saints Row 2 and on Yakuza. WET is set to be published by Bethesda.The opposite opinion comes from Mickey Rourke, who staged a comeback worthy of an Oscar l!

The citrus variety is now, according to the team, ready to be commercially produced, and features a rich, sweet and distinctive flavor, as well as a smooth and thin rind, and a beautiful orange color. The fruit bears no seeds, the researchers add, so people are free to enjoy it without worrying about chewing those strong seeds. “We are extremely enthusiastic about this fruit which distinguishes itself by being very low-seeded and moderately easy to peel. In Riverside, California, 'DaisySL' matures in mid-December and holds its fruit quality characteristics into February. Early January to early February is the best time to pick this fruit from the tree,” UCR Department of Botany and Plant Sciences Genetics Professor Mikeal Roose, who developed the fruit with colleague Timothy Williams, says.

During recent months, things haven't been so rosy for video game companies, starting with small developers, who keep their high-end titles for the end of the year, and ending with console manufacturers, which have recorded losses across the board, with a few exceptions here and there. This is evident with the sales juggernaut that was the Wii, as the Nintendo console has seen some pretty steep drops in sales as opposed to 2008 for example. But don't think that these small numbers have made the possibility of a price cut that much more attractive for the Japanese company as its president, Satoru Iwata, was asked during a recent conference whether or not he was thinking about cutting the price on the small white console and his answer was not a positive one. “It's not the case of the quality of hardware moved, the feeling of missing strong competitive power, lacking its luster or poor sales,” Iwata responded. “Consistently, big time titles will be released in the mark!
etplace for this hardware. When that stops, to reinvigorate the console, or to put it another way, I think the current decline in hardware sales is due to the fact that there aren't many big titles (at the moment).” Further pressed, Iwata said that his company had other things to think about than c...

HTTP:: Wife and Mother in Law Are Programmed Not to Like Each Other
--------
The tension that is instantly generated whenever his mother comes to visit, or when wife and husband go to his house for dinner has often made the subject of tragedies in ancient times and, more recently, highly popular sitcoms. Getting the wife and the mother-in-law to get along is like reconciling cat and dog, many believe, and Dr. Terri Apter, a psychologist and senior tutor at Newnham College, Cambridge and author of “What Do You Want from Me?” has just the explanation for that, as the Daily Mail informs. According to the author, over two decades of research for the book clearly indicate that wife and mother-in-law are basically programmed not to like each other. This happens because, while rivalry should not even be an issue, both want to be the “primary woman” in the man’s life and, clearly, because of the different roles they play, they would both fit in just fine. This also explains why only one in five women actually likes her mother-in-law and why so m!
any wives complain of being traumatized by the mothers of their husbands. “The conflict often arises from an assumption that each is criticizing or undermining the other woman. But this mutual unease may have less to do with actual attitudes and far more to do with persistent female stereotypes t...
