Thanks for the link.
I have a huge interest in weight loss, mainly because I used to be a bit overweight, (although never really "fat") and have struggled to keep my weight under control ever since I started trying to.

In fact, I've published an app for Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cachapa.libra) based on the Hacker's diet: http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet

If you haven't done so, I really recommend you read it. If you have, then I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how it compares with the link you posted.

Exactly why I'm very worried about this. Here's my prediction just in case it really happens, so I can link yo it and appear to be a keen industry analyst: over the next year MS will start changing Skype's protocol, until it's incompatible with current software. The Windows version will (of course) always be up to date while other platforms will lag behind, according to their userbase: macos will be fine, android and ios a bit less so, and Linux will simply be forgotten. This will enable them to slowly kill competition without scaring the userbase into adopting an alternative. Fortunately Google talk now works on more devices with voice, so there might be a decent alternative in the near future.

New Nerve Gas Antidotes 110

SoyChemist writes "Scientists from Korea and the Czech Republic have discovered new drugs that can counteract the chemical overload caused by nerve gas. All of the experimental medications belong to a family of chemicals called oximes. Those molecules reactivate the enzyme that is damaged by the chemical weapons. Last year, the FDA approved the first combined atropine and oxime auto-injector for use by emergency personnel. Israel has been providing them to their citizens since the first Gulf War."

I don't think there will be a problem with the O2 lock-in, as most mobile phones in Europe are already sold with carrier lock.

I do hope that the EC will intervine, tough I seriously doubt it.

I'm still waiting for an answer to my complaint about regional lock-in in consoles and dvds (at least a "forget it, dude" would have been nice).
