"A plan to populate the internet with hundreds or thousands of new top-level domains has security researchers pondering some of the unintended consequences that could be exploited by online criminals. Some of the scenarios aren't pretty.

Consider the mayhem that might result from addresses that end in “exchange,” “mailserver,” “domain,” or other strings that are frequently used to designate highly sensitive resources on corporate and government networks."

"Johan Boswinkel is using biophotons, the faint light waves emitted by cells, to help the body heal"

"Warning: this story is about a man who has developed a groundbreaking new therapy: healing with light. The man is not a doctor. Nor is he an accredited scientist. His proof is rather anecdotal, and, yes, there are countless skeptics eagerly lining up to attack his results and conclusions. Yet Johan Boswinkel might just hold a key to the medicine of the future in his hands.

Why should you read on, after a warning like that? Because modern medicine, despite all its progress, often remains powerless against the many chronic illnesses spawned by our modern lifestyle. Albert Einstein said it well: You can never solve a problem on the same level of thinking on which it was created."

"RankMyHack.com, which has more than 700 members, was created by “s0lar”, a hacker who claims to be a British computer science student.

The website aims to act as an independent means for hackers to verify their peers’ skills, on an underground scene where bravado is common.

“Up until now, when you met another hacker on an IRC or forum, there was no way to indicate if that hacker had any skills what so ever, RankMyHack.com was built to give a clear indication of a hackers general abilities,” s0lar wrote on the website."

"Richer people are less likely to care for their elderly parents than those earning lower salaries, according to a new study.

Increasing a person's wage can cause a significant drop in the amount of time they spend helping their parents with household chores, errands and transport.

For every ten per cent rise in their salary women will spend 36 per cent less time providing care and men will reduce their input by 18 per cent.

Having a sibling or other person equipped to help out makes the effect even more severe."

"Smoking shisha: how bad is it for you?"

By Rob Winters - Published on Tuesday, 23 August 2011 20:11

"For Jawad Rezavi, 26, smoking shisha is the perfect way to unwind in an evening. "After a long day, I'll go to a shisha lounge. It relaxes me. In the same way that some people will enjoy a glass of red wine or need a cigarette to keep going while they're working, I like to enjoy my shisha. If I don't do it, it feels like I'm missing something." Shisha, the origins of which are disputed (some say India, others Persia or Turkey) is a glass-bottomed water pipe in which fruit-flavoured tobacco is covered with foil and roasted with charcoal."
