If only I had $1 for every time I've heard someone tell me the benefits of barefoot running over the last 2-3 years.
As with many forms of exercise, dieting and anything health related, fads come and while it's questionable whether people end up healthier because of the fads, someone surely... Comment - Like

When recent news came out that researchers had found a way to skirt around the https security protocols touted as the safest when doing your banking online with 168 bit encryption, it would seem media outlets hardly let the news hit the front page.

For anyone that knows me well, it comes as no surprise that I find the attached video riveting. In it, Steven Pinker, a world-renowned, cognitive scientist, linguist and a brilliant person, describes several aspects involved in the evolution of language.
While watching this video, I was reminde... Comment - Like

I was driven to post something about health care fraud recently after a discussion with an acquaintance regarding alternative medicine.
Often people seek alternative forms of medicine out of desperation; conventional science having done nothing to improve their situation, they become more willing... Comment - Like

To all you naysayers out there that hate the thought of being watched by security cameras (hey, they're not watching you.... they're watching the shoplifters!), check out the video below of someone on their way to the gym in Thornhill.

It was literally the night before this article came out that my friends and I were discussing the effects of the transitions from mag stripe credit cards to the infamous and highly touted chip cards.

Fraudtsers wait for this.
Like ambulance chasers, fraudsters aiming to profit from charitable donations or from pushing viruses onto other computers wait for epidemics like the recent swine flu outbreak.
How do they do it?
Aside from feeding off of the panic that these situations bring about,... Comment - Like
