I think a lot of people are missing the main point in the article which is we don't know what exercise is doing to a person long term and nobody knows if lowering the risk factors actually has positive outcomes on longevity. It is basically pointing out that the mantra of more exercise for everyone has little long…

80% of the women go for 20% of the men... pretty much explains our society, wars and every other facet of the male/female dynamic. No study needed... you are welcome science.

Don't end that last sentence without some examples.

So they were shaking him down for a few dollars and ended up getting a nasty PR problem. Belize will loose more tourist dollars than they could have squeezed McAfee for. I personally would get out of there and head over to a place like Panama.

There would have been lawsuits on this deal no matter how this offering went. The market will correct the pricing of this stock over time so none of this is really news worthy. Apple buying them out... that would be news worthy.

Many tend to forget that the village makes this wealth possible. Our military protects interests and our government invests billions into creating and sustaining the public services including the internet. His prosperity is a direct result of our collective efforts. To skip out after using the services we all helped…

I am with the author. Most people shouldn't attempt coding. It is a skill quickly forgotten without practice, it reinforces logic skills only with a lot of dedication and gives idiots a false sense of what real programming/logic is. Taking a SQL course (which isn't coding) or hardware course is time better spent with…

I wonder if the teens were dancing or dry humping which seems to pass for dancing to some. There are a fair share of school dance videos performing moves one is unable to legally get at strip clubs. Prudish parents or public dry humping... I think a video is needed to suss out the truth?

No reason to believe that Apple cannot build better Maps functionality. They certainly have the cash for it. The limiting factor will obviously be the requirement to install iTunes when using it on a computer.

Yet another body fat story on Giz. I think they are becoming obsessed with overweight people.

Why are near daily stories on overweight people becoming a norm on a tech blog? Does Giz have some ax to grind against overweight people?

Cordless hammer drill borders on oxymoron territory. Save yourself some pain and get a corded hammer drill for situations where a hammer drill is needed. Otherwise pick up a decent cordless drill for the other 99.9% of the work.

How about stop breeding. Parents contribute more to gas consumption than heavy people. So if we really want to cut gas consumption stop having children.

Wrong... thank you for playing here is the exit. In a plane crash, more than 19 out of 20 people survive. Even if a plane goes down with you in it, you are likely to walk away from it.

Left out of this discussion is that same car crash study had underweight passengers at more risk than normal weight passengers and normal weight passengers at more risk than slightly obese passengers. So going on the car crash philosophy we should all be carrying a few extra pounds... just not too many.

How not to be awesome... write books on technology with no practical knowledge on the subject. Even with excellent writing and a quadruple black belt in Google ninja skills, an author should have "real world" experience with tech subject matter. Otherwise in many cases the book ends up as cursory overview with little…

This is libel and sadly the courts or arbitration are probably the best place to sort this out. The amount of damage that is done from a libel claim like this is certainly up for discussion. Bullying may be an unavoidable part of life but that does not mean a person should just roll over and take it.

No sane person wants to fly into a tower, but I also do not want to get blown up in a terminal either. Now a crazy person can walk in with a couple of large suitcase bombs and detonate in the choke point before going through security. Besides the fix to a hijacking wasn't better gate security which has proven to be…

When did North Korea get Fox News?
