HTTP:: a squared Cuts Prices for Softpedia Users
--------
It is tough to get proper computer protection at reasonable prices these days. Most security applications have prices well over the decent $25 limit a home user is inclined to pay in order to get a professional piece of software to protect the system. However, every now and then, promotion campaigns occur, and that's the time to get your hands on full security suites at lower prices. Emsi Software has recently launched such a campaign, promoting its flagship product, a-squared Anti-Malware. For a short period of time, a one-year license of the application will be available to purchase for as low as $10, through Softpedia (that's a 75% discount for our users). You'll benefit from the discount as long as, upon making a purchase, you type in “Softpedia” as your discount code. The same code will function for all offers on the purchase page, save the three-month subscription, bringing different discounts. Thus, to a two-year license, which normally goes for $70, it will ap!
ply a 43% reduction, bringing it to $40. A three-year license is regularly priced at $96, but, with the 31% cut “Softpedia” applies, it will shrink to $66. The three-pack (three licenses for one year) is slashed from $73 to $43, giving you 41% off. The five-pack is the most expensive, but the “Softpedia” code ...

This week has been oddly dominated by news related to Take Two and its biggest franchise, Grand Theft Auto. The company released its financial results for the third quarter of the financial year and things are not looking good, with losses of about 55.5 million dollars and with Red Dead Redemption, BioShock 2 and Max Payne 3 delayed to 2010. But there are other things that you need to know about.On Monday, Microsoft confirmed that some lucky French guys managed to get their hands on Halo 3: ODST, which is set to be released later in the fall, by penetrating the supply chain which the company has. Apparently, those playing the game before the release date will not be banned from Xbox Live. And speaking of Microsoft, it seems that the company is to blame for the fact that the PC version of Champions Online from Cryptic is set to arrive on September 1, while the Xbox 360 version has no date yet.Sony dominated the news on Tuesday, with the Japanese console manufacturer explaini!

Pingie: HTTP:: Chatting with a Gorgeous Woman Makes Men Less Intelligent

HTTP:: Chatting with a Gorgeous Woman Makes Men Less Intelligent
--------
They say there are some women so beautiful they can knock the air out of one’s lungs and make one (if that one happens to be a man) lose his mind and make it impossible for him to keep a clear head. A recent study conducted by psychologists at the Radboud University in The Netherlands and cited by The Mirror shows that, indeed, chatting up an attractive woman can have an almost dumbing effect in men. Men perform worse at intelligence tests after they sit down for a talk with a beautiful woman. This only happens, however, when the woman in question means something for the man, that is, when he’s attracted to her, researchers have also established. Oppositely, women aren’t in any way influenced by sitting down for a talk or flirting with a handsome man, presumably because looks are not everything what they’re looking for in a potential mate. “Chatting to a pretty woman is bad for a man’s brain â€" and the prettier she is, the worse it gets. Males who spend eve!
n a few minutes in the company of an attractive female perform less well in brain tests than those with someone they do not fancy. Researchers think it is because men use up so much of the brain trying to impress beautiful women. But women are not affected by chatting to a handsome man. This may be...

Google's doodles are always the subject of a fair amount of discussion but lately it looks like they've become so common place they've lost some of their initial charm. Still, they provide a unique way of educating the public on some important or at least interesting events or people. Google's latest doodle though is a little different. It doesn't mark a holiday, a great scientist or thinker, not even Tetris' birthday, in fact, no one knows what exactly Google is saying with the new doodle of a flying saucer “abducting” the letter “o” from its name. The doodle links to a Google search for “unexplained phenomenon” which, in an ironic twist, shows the news results about the fresh Google doodle right on top followed by the usual list of sites one would expect for this kind of search. There doesn't seem to be any historic unexplained phenomenon at this date nor has there been any significant one lately so what exactly does it mean? Well, Google is giving us a hint b!

Pingie: HTTP:: Researchers Working on Anti Obesity Pill That Allows Junk Food Consumption

HTTP:: Researchers Working on Anti Obesity Pill That Allows Junk Food Consumption

A couch potato’s biggest dream ever is showing signs of becoming real, as researchers have determined that blocking a gene in mice stops the weight gain and prevents all affections associated with obesity. What’s even better, Med Page Today informs, this happens without the mice working out more and even when on a high-fat diet. If this also applies to humans and a pill that can block the gene can be developed, this can be the end of the obesity pandemics, researchers hope. Alan Saltiel, who led the study in mice at the University of Michigan in the US, initially set out to establish the exact connection between obesity and diabetes, so understandably he was more than surprised when he realized he managed to prevent the onset of obesity altogether. In mice, at least. By blocking the gene in question, known as IKKE, the mice no longer gained weight no matter what they did, meaning, even if they did not exercise more or if they continued to be on the same high-fat diet !
as before. All this was possible by means of a compensation in their organism, which meant they just burned more calories. “We’ve studied other genes associated with obesity â€" we call them ‘obesogenes’ â€" but this is the first one we’ve found that, when delete...

For Tiffany Braxton Belvin, a plus-size model with a considerable experience in modeling and beauty pageants and who has just been crowned Ms. New York, beauty is all about acceptance and confidence.

HTTP:: Avoid Late Night Snacks to Lose Weight
--------
We’ve heard countless swore by the dieting rule of never eating past six or seven o’clock in the evening and we’ve even heard researchers rebuff the effectiveness of such a measure. A new study comes to link for the first time the time of eating with the weight gain, with the obvious conclusion being that, in order to drop the extra pounds, we must pay heed to our body’s internal cycle and eat only at appropriate hours, as Science Daily says. What this practically means is that we’re bound to gain weight if we keep irregular and unusual meal hours. Eating in the middle of the night, when we should be sleeping (and our organism is the first to know that), is guaranteed to lead to weight gain because the regulation of energy by the body’s circadian rhythms is different than throughout the day. This would explain, for instance, researchers say, while night shifters usually pack more pounds than their colleagues who work their hours during the day: it’s because !
they eat when they shouldn’t. “How or why a person gains weight is very complicated, but it clearly is not just calories in and calories out.” Fred Turek, professor of neurobiology and physiology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and director of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biolog...

Well, in the NFL, that person is male-diva WR, Chad Ochocinco from the Cincinnati Bengals. After recent developments in the league's player conduct policy, the disgruntled Bengals WR seems to have lost all interest in updating his Twitter account and plans to delete it in the near future.On a Twitter update a couple of hours ago (see attached screenshot), Chad stated that “Due to the many rules the NFL has made I've found it difficult to enjoy Twitter and I'll be deleting my account.He then added that “I thank and love you all for following, hope you enjoyed getting to know the real me: Esteban out” (Esteban being a moniker he uses to call himself).Now, let's go back a few months ago.

Mozilla announced on Friday the availability of the latest release of its browser for Windows Mobile-powered handsets, namely Fennec 1.0 Alpha 3. The fresh iteration of the browser comes around with a series of new features and fixes, including support for a variety of screen resolutions, improved start time, compositor work and panning. “The first thing you’ll notice is the improved start up time. [...] One caveat is that this faster start up time doesn’t take effect until after you reboot your phone (hey, this is Windows after all). The next thing you’ll probably notice is the much improved panning. We’ve implemented a tile cache rendering system (much like you see on Google maps) that allows us to cache previously rendered content and avoid duplicating the work. This has also allowed us to switch over to native scrolling surfaces which has greatly improved panning performance” is what Mozilla has to say about the new release on its blog.This is the third alph!
a milestone of Fennec, which is nothing else than the mobile version of Firefox, aimed at Windows Mobile-based devices.

One of the most interesting developments in videogaming in late summer has been the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment by Disney. The impact on videogaming might not be immediately apparent but consider that super hero games have been doing rather well lately and you might see how Disney can leverage properties like Wolverine or Spider Man and turn them into highly successful and profitable series.And now, it seems that Time Warner, the company that controls D.C. Comics, might also be interested in more acquisitions in the videogame industry.The innuendo comes via an article in Business Week, which mentions that Time Warner has about 7 billion dollars in reserves that could be earmarked for an acquisition if a suitable asset is found. The article clearly states “Buying a game company would help Time Warner diversify away from movies and ad-supported media. The time is ripe, since many game makers are hurting and could go cheap.”Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of!
the company, Jeffrey Bewkes, stated that “We still look at any potential acquisition for its strategic rationale, what the risk is in terms of what we are willing to pay, and what our financial return will be.”Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment already represents the videogame creatio...

Women are known for their propensity to amass things, from jewelry to clothes and cosmetic products and toiletries. Despite repeated warnings from beauticians and health experts, they continue to save their prized possessions â€" cosmetics and toiletries â€" past their due date, which puts their health at considerable risk, a recent survey conducted by Mintel and cited by the Telegraph, indicates. Most products that are used for beautification purposes come labeled with the date when they’re no longer good for use or, if not, with the symbol PAO (“Period After Opening”) and the number of months it’s still good. Most women are well aware of this, yet they rarely pay heed to these details, presumably because they buy so many of these products they forget to check their label to see when they’re no longer good. The bottom line is that only one in four women respects these dates, the survey has revealed. In doing so, the other three are putting themselves at great!
risk because cosmetic products are usually perfect environments for bacteria. “It is not simply a matter of products no longer performing to optimal standards. Old make-up can be hazardous to our health. Like food, cosmetics can expire and become dangerous to use. There may be far...

As of late, though, doctors have started using it for other parts of the body as well, where larger quantities are injected in the backside or the chest for more definition. This use is still pending FDA approval in the US, while in other countries its direct implications continue to be investigated as it spreads. Jennifer Aniston too seems to have jumped on this recent bandwagon, the publication says. An unnamed but reportedly in-the-know source tells the British magazine that Aniston has turned to !
the filler when she noticed her chest was not as perky as it was once.

Some might say that today's audio gear comes with pretty much anything one could ever want, when it comes to features, and everything could be reduced to a matter of choosing the right piece for you... at least theoretically.
