HTTP:: Effective Weight Loss Strategies
--------
Staying in the weight-loss game can be quite a tricky and, at times, downright difficult thing to do, if efficient strategies are not employed. However, this may be something that not all of us are aware of, which is why Men’s Health came up with the idea of gathering advice from the best experts on the ten most successful weight-loss strategies. As the popular magazine puts it, there are researchers whose main job is that of analyzing and studying weight-loss theories so that we, the regular folks, be able to focus entirely on the actual losing of the extra pounds. To accomplish anything in life, no matter what it is, one needs a good strategy, Men’s Health says, and a good, first choice might be that of constantly weighing yourself. This is far from the discouraging act it was once believed to be, several studies showing that it actually helps motivate people to lose more weight. Avoiding images of food is another great way of staying in shape, as a study shows th!
at seeing food triggers in the brain a “feed me†response. This means steering clear of ads on television or even cooking programs might help curb cravings, Men’s Health says.

For quite some time, politicians have talked about videogames as a plague on society and championed schemes designed to limit their sales while blaming them for the ills of society.But even as their rhetoric seems to be toning down, a new generation of gaming politicians seems to be rising up and seeking positions of power. One of the first representatives of this generation could be Ray Tenorio, a Guam Senate member who is describing himself as being a hardcore World of Warcraft player. He plans to run for the position of Lieutenant Governor of Guam, with another Senator Baza Calvo, running for the position of Governor.He sent a letter to specialized site GamePolitics.com, announcing his intentions, making remarks about the Blizzard-made MMO. He said that “I hope everyone at GamePolitics.com are healthy and doing well.

There are so many self-help books out there that, were one to choose only a handful of the lot for some guidance and advice, one would have serious problems choosing. Judging from the message behind all of them, positive thinking is the key to success: a better social and professional position, more money, happiness, inner peace, love and everything else that is there to be desired. Performance Improvement Consultant Russell Bishop of the Huffington Post says in a new piece that the time has come to understand that positive thinking simply doesn’t work. Unless, of course, it does, he adds. The common-sense distinction most of us are not making when it comes to positive thinking is that reading books and self-help materials is not the same as learning from them and then acting accordingly.

A survey commissioned by US firm AppsFire on 1,200 iPhone owners shows that the average user has downloaded 65 apps from the iTunes App Store, for a final bill of $80. Free apps have accounted for 65% on the 1,200 devices, while the average price for paid apps has been around $1.56. AppsFire claims that it based its research on the analysis of what is installed on someone's iPhone/iPod touch by taking “a picture of what's exactly installed on each single iPhone.†“We used a sample of 1200 appsfire users (meaning that we know precisely what each user has) and took anonymously (we insist on the privacy respect), a picture of what's exactly installed on each single iPhone.

A survey commissioned by US firm AppsFire on 1,200 iPhone owners shows that the average user has downloaded 65 apps from the iTunes App Store, for a final bill of $80. Free apps have accounted for 65% on the 1,200 devices, while the average price for paid apps has been around $1.56. AppsFire claims that it based its research on the analysis of what is installed on someone's iPhone/iPod touch by taking “a picture of what's exactly installed on each single iPhone.†“We used a sample of 1200 appsfire users (meaning that we know precisely what each user has) and took anonymously (we insist on the privacy respect), a picture of what's exactly installed on each single iPhone. We then aggregated this data to produce a unique overview about what can be found 'on average' in an iPhone,†the company’s blog post reads.

Security researchers warn that looking for information about a mysterious Facebook application called "Fan Check," which some people claim to be malicious, can lead to malware itself. Apparently, scareware distributors have adopted this trending topic for a new black hat search engine optimization campaign that promotes fake antivirus software.

Some claim that it counts certain types of actions that visitors perform on someone's profile in order to determine who are the most active "fans."

Espoo-based Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced last week a second, smaller version of its high-end Nokia N97 device, dubbed Nokia N97 mini, which is now listed on Vodafone UK's website.

Espoo-based Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced last week a second, smaller version of its high-end Nokia N97 device, dubbed Nokia N97 mini, which is now listed on Vodafone UK's website.

The Jackson family is still shocked and outraged that certain media organizations have violated the no-fly zone over Forest Lawn and have aired footage of the funeral service held there last week for Michael Jackson.

Strangely enough, although admittedly overwhelmed with the emotion of such a solemn event, the Reverend did not even wait to get home to Tweet about it.

The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) has released a report regarding the situation of ATM crime in the European Union. According to the agency, the rate of such crimes increased by 149 percent in 2008 and resulted in over 485 million euros being lost to fraud during last year. The European ATM Security Team (EAST) of the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) estimates that, in 2008, there were 383,951 ATMs in Europe, which is 6% more than in 2007. The same source also estimates that 72% of these machines are located in the UK, Spain, Germany, France and Italy. As far as ATM crime goes, there were 12,278 such incidents reported in the European Union during last year. From these numbers, we can unscientifically conclude that roughly one in 31 ATMs installed across the Union was attacked in 2008, obviously without taking into account that one ATM could have been attacked multiple times. In its report (PDF), ENISA describes several types of attacks against!
ATMs, breaking them in three categories: ATM-skimming, computer and network attacks and physical attacks. From these, ATM-skimming is, by far, the most popular, accounting for around 94% of the recorded ATM crime incidents.

The upcoming Diablo II Patch 1.13 was initially confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment earlier this year. Fans of the action RPG still have to wait for a solid release date, due to typical development delays, but the WoW maker trusts it will be able to deliver the much-anticipated patch soon, according to a Battle.net update. Available for both Mac and PC, Diablo II is the sequel to the game Diablo, a dark, fantasy-themed, action, role-playing game (RPG) played in four acts. Released for Mac OS X in 2000 under the publishing label of Blizzard Entertainment, the title development was handled by Blizzard North. The game was one of the most popular in 2000, thanks to its addictive, hack-and-slash gameplay and free access to Battle.net. Diablo II can be played both online and in single player. “Work commences on patch 1.13,†an update on the Battle.net forums reads. “We won't be providing any information on when the patch will be available, except that we expect the PTR to!
be available ‘soon,’†Blizzard poster Bashiok writes. “We will provide some amount of warning very, very shortly before the PTRs become available. Please keep in mind that any number of factors could delay the start of the PTR and ultimate release of the patch. Thanks for being patient, we're getting ...

The upcoming Diablo II Patch 1.13 was initially confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment earlier this year. Fans of the action RPG still have to wait for a solid release date, due to typical development delays, but the WoW maker trusts it will be able to deliver the much-anticipated patch soon, according to a Battle.net update. Available for both Mac and PC, Diablo II is the sequel to the game Diablo, a dark, fantasy-themed, action, role-playing game (RPG) played in four acts. Released for Mac OS X in 2000 under the publishing label of Blizzard Entertainment, the title development was handled by Blizzard North. The game was one of the most popular in 2000, thanks to its addictive, hack-and-slash gameplay and free access to Battle.net. Diablo II can be played both online and in single player. “Work commences on patch 1.13,†an update on the Battle.net forums reads. “We won't be providing any information on when the patch will be available, except that we expect the PTR to!
be available ‘soon,’†Blizzard poster Bashiok writes. “We will provide some amount of warning very, very shortly before the PTRs become available. Please keep in mind that any number of factors could delay the start of the PTR and ultimate release of the patch. Thanks for being patient, we're getting ...

HTTP:: AOL Snatches Up Former Yahoo Executive Brad Garlinghouse

AOL is continuing its reshaping in anticipation of the spin-off from media giant Time Warner with a new hire at the top level. Brad Garlinghouse, a former senior vice president at Yahoo, will join AOL as the head of the Internet and Mobile Communications. The division includes some of AOL's most valued and 'historic' assets, AOL Mail and AOL Instant Messenger. The move is also meant to consolidate the East coast company's position in Silicon Valley, as Garlinghouse will also lead AOL Ventures in California. Garlinghouse left a similar position at Yahoo last year, after several years with the company. He believes that the time is right for new ventures in the communications market, especially with newcomers like Facebook and Twitter changing the way we use and relate to online communications. To this end, AOL will be looking to make key acquisitions or partnerships with startups in the field pursuing new opportunities. At the same time, he believes that there is still grea!

There was a time, as fans will surely remember, when one could hardly say something upsetting to or about Russell Crowe without being prepared to stand his wrath and whatever his highly flammable temper might have urged him to do at the moment. Now, the Australian, Oscar-winning actor is more in control and comparatively cooler, as he chooses to have his “opponents†out for bike deathmatches, as E! Online can confirm. It all started with a story on the Daily Telegraph’s Sydney Confidential, in which columnist Annette Sharp criticized Crowe for his habit of marking his daily bike run with cigarette and taco breaks. The article in question was scathing, there’s no doubt about it, but, strangely enough, this time, Crowe decided to be all diplomatic about it. He had his publicist call Sharp and invite her to a race, to see who was the fittest of the two. Clearly, that turned out to be Crowe. “So what did he do? He didn’t throw a phone, write a poem or start a Tw!

In addition to three new chips designed for the mainstream market and part of the chip maker's Core i7 and Core i5 lineups, Intel also introduced the P55 platform, which has been specifically designed to support the latest chips. The introduction of the new chips will provide more users with an alternative for the company's latest processor microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem. The launch of Intel's much-hyped Lynnfield processors and P55 platform will provide users with three new processors and a range of new P55-based motherboards, coming from all the major motherboard makers.

HTTP:: Technical Specs for IMS Network Services Demoed
--------
Six of the world's largest players in the telecommunication area have recently announced the development of 'common technical specifications for value-added IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network services.' The said technical specifications have been also tested successfully and demonstrated by the six companies, including Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC Corporation (NEC), Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and NTT DOCOMO, INC. The specs, the companies have announced, are meant to enable deployment of data-processing functions on IMS networks. In addition, the processing functions should enable them to come up with a series of application services, they have added. Both telecommunication operators and vendors should find it much easier to build value-added network functions through the use of the new specifications. Moreover, it seems that carriers that already went for IMS will be able to add these functions to their network and provide new services. Some examples of su!
ch services would include the possibility for a user to edit a picture on the network and share it or to convert a text message from a language to another before it has been delivered to the recipient. The six companies have stated that they plan on getting the new specifications adopted by the Rich Communication Suite (RC...

HTTP:: FDA Warns of High Content of Lead in Lipstick
--------
Gone are the times when women would willingly use lead-laden cosmetic products just to get that pale, ghostly aspect that was so revered many years ago. Today, the industry is aiming for healthy products that do not impact the environment, or so major companies claim. A recent FDA investigation shows that many brands of lipstick now available on the market contain many times more than the allowed quantity of lead, as physorg can confirm. Apparently, the measure of testing lipstick for lead should have been long coming, as eco-nonprofit organizations like Campaign for Safe Cosmetics have been lobbying for it for years. In 2007, for instance, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found lead in 61 percent of the 33 lipsticks tested, in spite of the fact that the substance was not listed as an ingredient on any of them. As physorg puts it, the actual numbers are even higher than that. “The bad news: The FDA found lead at levels four times higher than even what Campaign for Safe!
Cosmetics Found! The really bad news: The FDA won’t name names â€" despite admitting that three specific manufacturers had the highest levels of lead in their lipsticks. And as of yet, the FDA has no standard for lead in lipstick â€" so toxic lipstick’s fair game.†the aforementioned publication says.

At 23, Crystal Renn is a size 12 and, at the same time, the highest paid plus-size model of our times. She’s been featured on the cover of Vogue and other prestigious magazines, and has modeled for Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana. However, she’s the first to admit that it’s just recently and ever so slowly that the fashion industry has started taking heed of anyone bigger than a size 0. Renn has just launched her autobiography, the Guardian informs. She may seem a bit too young to be doing that, but, believe it or not, before she was the kind of model all regular women can look up to and relate, she too was stick thin. Discovered at 13 and immediately told she needed to lose weight, Renn lived on nothing but lettuce and Diet Coke for months, until she managed to become smaller than a size 0. She was about to take fashion by surprise when she came to the realization she was killing herself, she now recalls. She gained 32 kg and got back to good health â€!
" surprisingly enough, her success has been even more amazing since that moment. “When I started modeling in 2002 â€" and to a slightly lesser degree, today â€" the look of the moment was nearly skeletal.
