How Secure Is My Password is a site that will check how common your password is, and how easy it would be to hack. Sounds like a smart idea. Ok, let’s enter our passw–what? We shouldn’t use our real password, because someone could steal it? Well, damn. Thanks for nothing. Lifehacker says the site is just a good way to get a sense of how safe different types of passwords really are. For instance, the word password is a bad password. (Now there’s a revelation!) Somewhat obviously, you should choose an obscure word ...

Lately, the New York Times came up with the analysis of a recent study: Researchers at the University of Maryland who asked 200 students to give up all media for one full day found that after 24 hours many showed signs of withdrawal, craving and anxiety along with an inability to function well without their media and social links. Susan Moeller, the study’s project director and a journalism professor at the university, said many students wrote about how they hated losing their media connections, which some equated to going without friends and family. I did some research and browsed the website of Microsoft’s Internet Addiction Recovery Program. (...

You may recall the agency issued warning letters in March to 14 drug makers, which were tagged for identifying specific brands for violating fair balance guidelines - sponsored link ads for specific drugs were cited as misleading because risk info wasn’t included. Earlier this month, comScore found that sponsored link exposures to U.S. Internet users quickly plunged, even for brands not cited by the FDA. Sponsored link exposures dropped 59 percent from 10.5 million during the week ending March 29 to 4.3 million during the week ending April 5. Declines in sponsored link exposures not only occurred in the weeks immediately following the letters, but continued over the...

But London’s High Court threw out the case, Reuters reports. The move is a big setback Lilly, which hoped to plug a cut-price route for med reaching the US. But faced with some of the highest drug prices in the world, many US patients have resorted to Canadian Internet pharmacies, which can offer discounts of as much as 80 percent by buying drugs for a lower price from other countries. The trademarks at the center of the case were the Lilly name, as well as the drug names Cialis, Evista, Humulin and Humalog. Evista is a drug for osteoporosis and Humalog and Humulin are for diabetes. And Cialis is for impotence. In November, Lilly won a tempor...
