| Researchers Identify "Gangsta Gene" |
| 2009-06-22 13:00:00 |
Scientists say that its possible to predict whether a person is a gangster or not through DNA tests.Males with a particular form of gene called MAOA are twice as likely to join a gang, compared to those with other forms, finds a new study of more than 2000 US teens. What's more, gang members with these mutations are far more likely to use a weapon than other members. According to Kevin Beaver, a biosocial criminologist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, who led the study.The relatively common mutations result in reduced levels of a protein, called monoamine oxidase A, which recycles several of the chemicals that foster neuron connections. Low MAOA activity has been linked previously to antisocial behaviour in people who experienced child abuse. While two brain regions involved in ...

| PhonePoint Pen LetsYou Write On Thin Air ! |
| 2009-06-18 02:29:00 |
The phrase"writing on thin air",atleast up till now has referred to something that gets vanished quickly.Researchers at Duke University have created what they are calling a "PhonePoint Pen" that uses a modern cell phone's built-in accelerometer to detect writing in thin air, and then automatically send a note to a designated e-mail account. There are still some bugs to work out, but the researchers believe they've proven that the idea really works. "We are convinced that this is feasible and this will become something that people will use," Romit Roy Choudhury, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke. "The existing technology wasn't all that great," he added. "And the idea struck me that maybe it's possible that I could have a pen with an accelerometer and I co...

| Top 7 Ways In Which Gadgets Can Hurt You |
| 2009-06-08 05:22:00 |
Recently, doctors are noticing an uptick in more ignoble injuries, such as the "cell phone elbow." Instead of the usual carpal tunnel syndrome from typing, Dr. Peter Evans of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio began to see more of his patients coming in with an unexplained stinging, burning and tingly feeling in their hands. "When the elbow is flexed greater than 90 degrees you're now stretching the nerve around your elbow," explained Evans, who authored a "one-minute" consultation about cell phone elbow in this week's Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine. Evans said the longer the nerve is stretched, the greater the risk of cutting off blood flow to the nerve.The cell phone elbow sufferers are not alone. In the past two years, doctors have reported an array of rashes, nerve damage, phantom p...

| Demigod Hits PC This Week-Demigod Hands on Review and Developer Walkthrough |
| 2009-04-14 03:22:00 |
Enter Demigod, a genre-bending title where you play as an incarnation of a deity, waging war against human armies and their respective godly leaders. I recently went hands-on with the game and got a taste of what it's like to wield the power of a god.Demigod isn't what you might expect. The latest game from Gas Powered Games doesn't follow the classic real-time strategy formula like Supreme Commander did. And while Demigod is a real-time strategy game, it's also more of an arena-based combat game. In it, players control giant, powerful figures called demigods in the quest to destroy the opposing team's fortress while at the same time defending their own. It's a game of momentum, where you press the attack to its limits and then fall back at the right moment to recover. As such, Demigod ha...

| GODFATHER 2 HITS PC,PS3 AND XBOX 360 THIS WEEK -EXCLUSIVE GAMEPLAY VIDEOS AND REVIEW |
| 2009-04-04 06:28:00 |
The Godfather II is an intensely violent experience that routinely surprised us with the level of potential for sadistic combat. At its core, the game is a straightforward third-person action game with a few guns and melee weapons to go along with a lock-on targeting and cover system. But when you wear down your enemies' health, you can execute them in some truly horrific ways. The most gruesome is probably the baseball-bat execution, followed closely by the Tommy gun--both of which involve shoving these weapons into someone's mouth and your inevitable wince in response.The Godfather II is a tale of two games, a blend of sandbox action and strategic resource management. The low-level mobster in you will want to parade around 1950s-era depictions of New York, Miami, and Havana causing as mu...

| ERASE FEARFUL MEMORIES WITHOUT DRUGS |
| 2009-04-04 05:54:00 |
The concept of Memory Erasing has fuelled our imagiantion ever since MIB came out.But it would have been really easy if it were like a flashing device which instantly erases memory as seen in movies.Up till now, the most widely used therapy for erasing memory is extinction therapy,which works up to a point, but fearful memories often reappear,according to researchers. Marie Monfils, a neuroscientist at the University of Texas in Austin and her colleagues performed intense research in this subject.For instance,Her team first taught rats to associate a musical tone with a slight electric shock. Playing the tone with no shock generally causes rats to freeze in fear. When her team played the tone over and over again, 19 times, the rats displayed less and less fear. This is standard extinction ...
