Women are constantly under pressure to look good. Moreover, they say, if one woman in a certain group or line of work does something about her appearance and steps up her game, the others are forced to rise to the new standard as well, whether they like it or not. Men, on the other hand, have it very easy: suffice it that they be average looking, but have wits and brains on their side, William Leith of Daily Mail’s View from Planet Bloke believes. Our society relies heavily on this double standard when it comes to looks, and the media images that have been in circulation for decades show it clearly: women have to strive for perfection, while men are OK if they’re simply above average. The kind of pressure that this puts on the regular woman, the one that has to go to work, take care of her family and perform chores around the house (unlike movie stars and celebrities in general) is immense, while apparently leaving men plenty of space to move around.

Following news that Snow Leopard has a built-in antivirus tool, Softpedia has come across a new “Security†tab on Apple’s website, under Mac OS X. According to the Mac maker, its OS “has you covered,†so you can just go about your business without the hassle of configuring security settings and all that. “Mac OS X doesn’t get PC viruses.

Collecting live information from inside fish colonies and marine ecosystems was never an easy task for naturalists and documentary reporters. The human factor is always tainting the results of studies, and it therefore needs to be eliminated. This is precisely what a new type of robotic fish will do, in addition to providing scientists with up-to-date pollution readings. The small robots will also investigate submarine structures, such as sunken ships and coral reefs, and will do so without disturbing any other marine species, LiveScience reports. The new fish were produced by a team of mechanical engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), including recent PhD recipient Pablo Valdivia Y Alvarado and colleague Kamal Youcef-Toumi. Their model, which is about a foot long, is able to go in places where autonomous diving robots cannot. The technology used to make the fish is not new, having been demonstrated as far back as 1994.

HTTP:: Time of Death for Michael Jackson Will Remain a Mystery

Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide after a police affidavit filed in Houston the other day concluded that the singer’s heart stopped after being administered high levels of the anesthetic Propofol. Traces of other drugs were also found in his body, but were not in high enough quantities to result in death. The police are still faced with one major issue, though, TMZ says, namely that of establishing the exact hour when Michael died. The affidavit has Dr. Conrad Murray, the doctor who administered the drugs to the singer, as telling police officers he waited about an hour and a half before he made the 911 call, during which time he made other calls, left the room to seek help and performed CPR on Jackson. Murray’s attorney insists his client did not make such statements and, most important of all, did not wait more than a few minutes before calling the paramedics, let alone wait for more than an hour.

Facebook is currently the largest social network in the world and has held this title for more than a year now. For a long period of time its international growth and presence far outweighed that in the US, its home market and, despite becoming the largest social network in the US earlier this year as well, most of the site's audience is still outside the country. Part of the reason why Facebook managed to see this type of growth internationally is because it crowdsourced its translations efforts, something that the social network apparently wants to patent, as TechCrunch found. As late as 2008, Facebook was still only offered in English so the social network released an app, aptly named Translations, which enabled users to translate various parts of the site, a significant cost advantage for the company. The move proved very successful and a Spanish translation was available within a few weeks of the launch. Since then the effort has expanded to a large number of languag!

An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls.

The Nintendo DS has seen quite a few franchises flourish on it and give birth to a very successful and profitable series. An example of such a thing is Disney's Spectrobes franchise, which has seen a huge success with the first iteration when it was launched a few years ago.Realizing just what it had on its hands, the company tasked the Jupiter studio with creating a sequel to it. This new project was finalized with Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, which was released on October 7, 2008 in North America, while Japan received it on December 11, the same year, and Europeans on February 27, 2009.The game boasts some major improvements over the first title, while continuing the story of Rallen and Jeena, two space officers who have saved their native Nanairo system from the evil Krawls. The peace after the conflict is disrupted by the abduction of one of their friends, Aldous, by a Krawl superior officer known as Maja. The fact that mysterios portals are opening around the Nanair!

Several reports are confirming AT&T is gearing up to provide MMS support for iPhone owners in September. The much anticipated feature was actually promised for Summer 2009, but at least the carrier is delivering. Apple, for its part, introduced MMS support across its iPhone 3G and 3GS devices, but still has to wait for AT&T to give the green light to the service on the iPhone. Earlier this year, in March to be precise, Apple announced iPhone OS 3.0, an update to its mobile operating system used both by the iPhone, and the iPod touch. Although contemporary smartphones already shared abilities like cut, copy & paste, MMS, tethering etc., Apple only introduced these abilities with a late revision of its iPhone OS, while some of these highly anticipated features still cannot be put to use.

Bungie is one of the most appreciated development studios in the industry, having established a name for itself by creating the critically acclaimed Halo series of first person shooters. The fact that it almost single-handedly made shooters work on consoles through its multiple Halo titles is something that needs to be appreciated. But, after many years under the corporate umbrella of Microsoft, the studio decided to split with the large corporation, though it seems that the “love affair†is still working smoothly as the company is working on not one but two more Halo titles, the first of which is due out this September, Halo 3: ODST, and the second next year, in the form of Halo: Reach. It seems that the latter might just be the last Halo project the company will work on, at least according to Bungie's senior designer, Lars Bakken, who revealed that a few months ago. But speaking with Videogamer at last week's GamesCon, the studio's community and PR director, Brian J!

Apparently, Amos has spoken recently to the British tabloid and has revealed that, while she does consider Gaga a welcome distraction, she does not value her artistry all that much. At the end of the day, the veteran singer believes, what Gaga does couldn’t possibly stand the test of time because her main focus right now is on making her music and her act entertaining.

For decades, doctors and researchers have used electricity to study or treat the human brain. Such investigations have led to the discovery of important centers in the cortex, such as the motor center and the pleasure one. Some treatments for conditions such as Parkinson's and even depression have been developed from electro-stimulation, but scientists have always lacked a thorough understanding of precisely why this type of therapy works. Now, a team finally manages to observe cellular-level interactions inside the brain, when it is stimulated with electricity, ScienceDaily reports. The innovation, which was achieved by a Harvard Medical School (HMS) team of experts led by Neurobiology Professor Clay Reid, was made possible by the use of an optical imaging technology known as two-photon microscopy (TPM).

round victories, reputation gains, rank updates and the overall level ups of the players who are part of the guild.A guild talent point comes after each of the 20 levels and allows the guild to get a mass resurrection skill or can enhance the amount of gold each player gets from drops. There will also...

HTTP:: Blizzard Talks About the New Level 85 Cap in World of Warcraft
--------
World of Warcraft is definitely one of the biggest games out there, with over 11 million paying subscribers each month spending time in Azeroth and completing quests in all of the lands featured in that fantasy universe. That is why the recently announced Cataclysm expansion for the game has generated a lot of hype around the world as people were eager to find out every detail in regard to all of the new changes that would be implemented in the mechanic of the gameplay. One of the most important things introduced is the increase in the maximum level that characters can attain. After seeing it moved to level 70, with the Burning Crusade, and then to 80, with Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm takes it all the way to 85. Talking about this big change and why it added only 5 levels, the lead developer from Blizzard, Tom Chilton, revealed the reasoning behind it. “It's certainly different. More than anything else it's a question of what we thought was the best use of our de!
velopment time and what we thought the players really want the most. With this expansion we're delivering more total level up content than we have before - it's just not all post current max level.†He also revealed that the community played an important role in the new changes. “...

HTTP:: FDA Probes Weight Loss Drug Alli for Liver Damage
--------
After approving Alli, the weight-loss drug, for sale over the counter in the US in 2007, the Food and Drug Administration is now investigating claims that it may lead to liver damage, following 32 reports from people who have taken it. For the time being, the FDA says people on orlistat (brand name Alli) should continue taking it without fear, but they should immediately refer to a doctor if they notice any symptoms associated with liver problems, BizJournals informs. Alli is one of the most promising weight-loss drugs now available on the market without a prescription. Despite several warnings from health specialists as to its long-term pros and cons, Glaxo, the manufacturer, insists it entails no health risks. As for the most recent allegations that it can cause liver damage, there is no connection between taking Alli and any symptoms of the kind, the company states. “Alli is a ‘non-systemically’ acting medicine â€" it is minimally absorbed in the blood and work!

HTTP:: Tests Show Caster Semenya Has Triple the Normal Levels of Testosterone

18-year-old Caster Semenya, who ran with the 800m world champion last week, has three times the normal levels of testosterone in her body, as initial tests have revealed, a source close to the athlete shares for Fox Sports. While this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a male or has a genetic condition, it might suggest doping to enhance her performance, experts believe. The controversy began shortly after the South African teenager won the title at the World Athletics Championship, as she managed to pull the best time recorded this year in all competitions around the world. Her well-defined musculature, as well as talk of her refusing to wear women’s clothes prompted the International Association of Athletics Federations to ask her to submit herself to gender testing in view of critics saying she had not won the title fairly.
