Health Damaging Habits: Microwaving Food

In our busy lives, convenience shouldn't be underrated, especially when it comes to food. The fact that microwave ovens greatly reduce the amount of time from freezer or fridge to table is huge, which is part of what makes them so popular. Why is it then, that more and more people are giving up the speed and convenience of microwave cooking and joining the 'slow food' movement?

Here are a few things they may know that motivate them to give up convenience in favor of the old, slow way of preparing foods:

GMO Food: What it is and What are its Effects

So much of the food we eat has been corrupted by GMOs.

What exactly is a GMO food, and what does "GMO" mean? GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, and it's a plant or a meat product that has had its DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, in order to produce foreign compounds in that food. This type of alteration is experimental and is not found in nature. Here's an example for you; genetically modified corn has been engineered in a laboratory to produce pesticides in its own tissue. In fact, that pesticide is derived from e coli bacteria; so if you eat that corn, you are in fact eating a derivative of e coli bacteria. You have to decide if you're comfortable feeding that to your family.

Fujitsu Wants To Use Palm Vein Sensors Instead Of Fingerprints

While fingerprint sensors on smartphones are starting to become more common, especially with the iPhone 5s and the Samsung Galaxy S5 picking up on the trend again, this kind of technology has actually be integrated into other consumer electronics in the past, such as laptops.

For the most part fingerprint sensors on laptops felt gimmicky and after a while they tended to stop working. However it seems that Fujitsu is planning on introducing a new type of bio-metrics into laptops that won’t require your fingerprint. Instead it might require your palm vein instead.

Sensors Fitted on Bees to Monitor Environment

Honey bees in Australia are being fitted with sensors as part of a research program to monitor the insects and their environment using so-called swarm sensing.

The research is being led by CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) and aims to improve honey bee pollination and productivity on farms as well as help understand the drivers of bee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a condition decimating honey bee populations worldwide.

Undersea Cable Connecting Singapore to Europe

Can you guess what it is? 20,000km undersea cable to link Singapore to Europe

The Sea-Me-We 5 consortium, a group of 15 telecommunications companies, has awarded Alcatel-Lucent and NEC a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars to lay an undersea cable that will bring a high-speed network link between Europe and Singapore and points in between.

The South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (Sea-Me-We) consortium is funding the 20,000-kilometer (12,400 miles) cable, the fifth such project for the consortium. This one will bring a 100-gigabit-per-second link, Alcatel-Lucent said Friday. Alcatel-Lucent will lay the western stretch from Europe to Sri Lanka, with spurs leading to Sicily, Pakistan, India, and various Middle Eastern countries.

LG to Roll Out with Release of LG L90 Smartphone

Before the recently concluded Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, kicked off, LG had already revealed a trio of handsets from the L Series III range, where they include the LG L90. At the end of last month, we also reported that the LG L90 could very well make its way over to T-Mobile, and here we are

with word that the LG L90 will indeed start to roll out from this week onward. Being the cream of the L Series III crop, the LG L90 would boast of a simple and yet stylish aesthetic to keep company the most up-to-date UX features. LG hopes to position the LG L90 as a smartphone that offers plenty of bang for your hard earned buck, but will it be able to usurp the best selling Motorola Moto G?
The LG L90’s main hardware specifications would include a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8226 chipset, a 4.7-inch qHD IPS (960 x 540 resolution at 235 ppi) display, 8GB of internal memory that can be further expanded via an SD memory card slot, 1GB RAM, an 8MP shooter at the back or a 5MP auto-focus camera, depending on the region which it is released in, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, Android 4.4 KitKat as the operating system of choice, alongside a 2540-mAh battery to keep it chugging all day long.

Apple Looking Forward to Ship 90 Million iPhone 6 Units in 2014

Later this year, presumably during Q3 2014, Apple will launch the iPhone 6. We can only assume this is the case based on previous releases in the past, but interestingly enough it seems that the iPhone 6 is one to look forward to.

Sure there are a lot of reasons to look forward to the iPhone 6, but according to the rumors, Apple could introduce a larger screen in the iPhone 6 that would finally put it in competition with Android devices which has long had large screens with high resolutions. To that extent, it seems that with this larger iPhone, Apple could be looking to ship as many as 90 million iPhone 6 units in 2014 alone.
