HTC Titan Windows Phone operating system
We knew as soon as we first clapped eyes on this hulk of a phone that it’d make a brave purchase. It’s not just the 4.7-inch screen that requires a leap of faith, but also the Windows Phone operating system, which is presented here in all its Mangofied glory but is still very much an early adopter’s ecosystem. After all, if you love the Titan’s hardware but prefer a more established OS, you can always wait for the Sensation XL, which is essentially the same phone running good ol’ Android and which should have a similar £480 ($750 converted) SIM-free price tag. The question is, do you have the guts to make that jump to something more exotic? Yes? Maybe? Then read on before you begin your run-up.............

Unwanted body hair removed from laser treatment without pain
What is Laser Hair Removal?
In short, laser hair removal is a procedure that uses light at a specific wavelength to rid the body of unwanted hair. It does this by damaging hair follicles, causing the hair to fall from the body shortly after; usually within a few days.
How is this accomplished? When light is absorbed by dark objects, it creates heat; the stronger the light, the hotter the heat. The light generated by the laser targets a dark area; in this case, a hair follicle. High heat from the laser to the hair follicle is localized; surrounding skin tissue remains unaffected. Light skin with dark hair, then, is the best combination for successful laser hair removal.
Persons with gray, red, or blonde hair are not as good a candidate for laser hair................Read Full Article Here

Apple show iPhone strength
Apple Inc once more faces lofty expectations after smashing iPhone sales records, but Wall Street remains confident the world’s largest technology company will deliver another bumper quarter.
Investors worried about crumbling consumer spending, a darkening economic outlook and the rapid expansion of Google Inc’s Android mobile software got some assurance after the company moved 4 million iPhone 4S units in three days — more than double its predecessor — despite lukewarm reviews. Apple’s shareholders have had plenty to fret about since August, when Steve Jobs handed the reins to Tim Cook.
The company then lost its leading visionary and co-founder when he died Oct. 5. Some analysts say the short-term disruption offered a brief window for rivals like............Read Full Article Here

The 4S will be available in black or white. It will cost $199 to $399, depending on storage space. It .....Read Full Article Here

Latest security vulnerability: Microsoft Security Zero-Day Threats
In its latest security vulnerability report, Microsoft said data proved that the threat of so-called zero-day vulnerabilities is overblown.
The eleventh volume of Microsoft’s Security Intelligence Report found that less than 1 percent of exploits in the first half of 2011 were due to zero-day vulnerabilities.

Asus: Ultrabooks on track for 2011-2012, some may have 2560x1400 display
The lofty goal of 40 percent market share for Ultrabooks in 2012 is due for a reality check, according to an analyst. Meanwhile announcements from Asus and Acer in the U.S. are imminent.
The Intel-backed Ultrabook armada is all ready to set sail for an ambitious incursion into the domain of ultraportables. But the real motive is not to make a dent in the Apple-dominated ultraportable PC market but to stop the rapid advance of the iPad and other tablets. Even though Intel and its PC vendor chums have been making a lot of noise about this new breed of ultra-thin and light notebooks, Dell and HP continue to be conspicuous by their absence from the...............Read Full Article Here

zinc plays a critical role in the brain
What is zinc, and why does our body need it in order to maintain proper health and well-being? Well, the primary answer is that this element is integral in the chain of events that comprises human cellular metabolism.
