Anti-Snoops

A new gadget (designed for sneaky photographers) that detects photo flashes which then fires back a flash ruining stolen photos was invented.
Brilliant like flash isn’t it?

Safer and Faster E-mails

Do you want to manage your e-mails safer and faster? Boxbe can do that.

See the new folder in your Yahoo! Mail called “Boxbe Waiting List”? Emails from people who are not on your Guest List or who you’ve asked to be waitlisted will go into this folder. It’s like a shield that protects your inbox.

In your Boxbe Waiting List folder, you can see the junk score of each email in its subject line. To find messages with the lowest junk score, just sort by subject. It’s one more way Boxbe helps you find the emails that matter.

At the top of each message in your Waiting List is a small section with convenient information and links. You can approve or block a sender directly from here. All the common actions at your fingertips!

I know Boxbe works because after I installed it, most of my mails suddenly had attachments! It’s as if hackers suddenly lost their grips!

Deadly Celiac Disease

Gluten is one of the flour substance I fear the most because it’s a silent stomach destroyer. Now, it’s proving worse than I thought:

‘The number of Americans diagnosed with celiac disease has quadrupled since the 1950s, and the condition “is emerging as a substantial public health concern,” Mayo Clinic researchers warn. People who had the gluten-intolerance disease and didn’t know it were four times more likely to have died during the past few decades than those without it, Reuters reports.
‘Europe has seen comparable increases. “Getting more patients and health professionals to consider the possibility of celiac disease is important,” says the senior author of a new report, who notes that the soaring numbers may correlate with environmental circumstances—perhaps including the “hygiene hypothesis,” which says less germy  lifestyles may have boosted allergies. The way food is processed and how we eat it may also be factors.’  SOURCE: Reuters

CBS News has an excellent video report about this.
