Like hundreds of other tasks, iPhones now have an app for listening to the heartbeat with iStethoscope.It’s been around for a while and has, in fact, been downloaded well over 3 million times, by healthcare professionals and the lay population alike. But now, it’s free. Or, for 99¢ you could procure the “pro” variety. The latter allows you to email the heart wave and 8 seconds of the audio, on top of being able to listen to the beat.As long as the user (of whom there are 500 new ones daily) knows where to place the iPhone’s microphone – any of those 6 vital locations between the ribs -- not press too hard, and make sure to press the device against skin – not clothing – th...

The White House has now been put on notice by high-tech executives that they will be compelled to move jobs out of America if this destructive policy is adopted. Bloomberg reports: Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steven Ballmer said the world’s largest software company would move some employees offshore if Congress enacts President Barack Obama’s plans to impose higher taxes on U.S. companies’ foreign profits. “It makes U.S. jobs more expensive,” Ballmer said in an interview. “We’re better off taking lots of people and moving them out of the U.S. as opposed to keeping them inside the U.S.”...

A Twitter glossary is essential to this story on #unsuicide, so that’s where I’ll start. Twitter is the hottest social medium du jour. 140 character posts about anything (pithy observations, links to text, photos, videos, or podcasts, spreading others’ Tweets in a retweet - RT - etc.) are posted to your Twitter feed, like a public blog feed that can be followed by anyone, while you follow others too. Tweets are that short so they can be sent and received by text messages from mobile devices. That’s what makes Twitter more useful and popular than most other social media; it combines texting with blogging. Livetweeting is writing about something as it happens, usually on scene. A hashtag is the combination of # with a word, w...

But, Dan Stoicescu is paying US$ 350,000 to get his. He is also retired at the age of 56, and apparently owned Actavis. “I’d rather spend my money on my genome than a Bentley or an airplane,” (…) Mr. Stoicescu said he worried about being seen as self-indulgent (though he donates much more each year to philanthropic causes), egotistical (for obvious reasons) or stupid (the cost of the technology, he knows, is dropping so fast that he would have certainly paid much less by waiting a few months). In my opinion he shouldn’t worry about being seen as a self-indulgent egotistical stupid person. He already is. Whoever drops the philanthropy excuse is a sure winner for the self-indulgent prize, anytime. ...

It’s ignorance and it’s understandable, but it’s quite hurtful. Having Type-1 diabetes has got nothing to do with diet. We don’t have a family history of diabetes – there’s no rhyme or reason why he got it.” That is right out of the mouth of a mommy that has dealt with diabetes first hand. Little Ivan Bentley was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 5 years old. Obviously we all want what’s best for our children and will fight any battle we have to to make that happen but this particular Mum even fought the system to insure an insulin pump to aid Ivan in his day to day fight with diabetes. And has the insulin pump made a difference? “You can’t imagine the joy I felt at taking him out and buying...
