Internet causes depression




                        Dr Pinhas Dannon, psychiatrist from Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine, and colleagues, have found that those who constantly surf the Internet may soon suffer from anxiety and severe depression.

The research reveals that nearly 10 percent of total Internet users worldwide are suffering from 'Internet addiction disorder', a pathological condition that can lead to anxiety and severe depression.
Internet addiction is a product of modernization, and is just like other addictions, including addiction to coffee, to exercise, or to talking on the mobile phone.

Apple ipod nano



The product summary:

The good:

                    The iPod Nano has a gorgeous, superslim design with a bright, photo-friendly screen. It is easy to operate and works seamlessly with iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, which has the world's largest selection of music. It boasts a nimble processor and system performance with no skipping, thanks to flash memory.

The bad:
                    The iPod Nano suffers from unspectacular battery life, and though the device is durable, it scratches easily; blemishes show up more drastically on the black version. The Nano is pricey in terms of gigabytes per dollar, and its 4GB maximum capacity is not a good fit for many power users. The player skips many sought-after extra features such as FM radio and A/V-out, and it doesn't work with Camera Connector. The USB power adapter ($29) is not included.
