The Chinese Government is rumored to distribute laptops to all its citizens in an attempt to nip over-population in the bud (or rather, seed). Ok, perhaps socialism hasn’t come along this far, but recent studies do indicate that laptop use may hurt sperm production in young adult males permanently.

What You Say?

It’s true, “teenage boys and young men may consider limiting their use of laptop computers on their laps,” quipped Yefim Sheynkin, the lead researcher of an interesting (though somewhat sparse, yuk yuk) study on the effects laptops have on scrotal temperatures and sperm counts. When a laptop is balanced on one’s knees, the user is forced to close their legs together, raising scrotal temperatures by an average of 2.1 degrees celsius (3.8 F). Internal laptop temperatures can soar to 70 degrees celsius (158 F). The result is higher scrotal temperatures in males by around 2.7 degrees celsius (4.86 F),
according to Sheynkin’s study on 29 brave male volunteers.

Someone Set Up Us the Bomb

Are you thinking what I’m thinking, that the US government (the same monster that somehow puts poisons in plane jetstreams to kill off the elderly) was behind the advent of the laptop computer in order to control population? If so, your medication might be just a placebo. Whatever the case, studies show that 1 degree celsius is the minimal difference for inhibited spermatogenisis (sperm production). Although damage is temporary in most cases, habitual and prolonged laptop use
might cause permanent damage. Sheynkin said: “The body needs to maintain a proper testicular
temperature for normal sperm production and development. We don’t know the exact frequency and
time of heat exposure capable of producing reversible or irreversible changes in spermatogenesis.”

You Have No Chance to Survive, Make Your Time

Ok, so as inconclusive as this study seems, it is an established truth that heat is bad for the
little guys. Not only this, but laptops are just plain uncomfortable. There is a solution out
there. I have come accross the Xpad Heatshield, a handy new item that shields your lap from
uncomfortable laptop heat and channels heat away quickly. Perhaps the most energy consuming device
in a laptop is the cooling fan. I have found that when I use my Xpad with my powerbook, the
battery life increases, probably by about 20% or so. Plus, I have heard that putting your laptop
on a soft surface (like a pillow) inhibits heat dissipation, damaging your laptop’s battery
permanently. Xpad protects our batteries, our posterity, and passively protests the government’s
evil conspiracies.

The Xpad is simple in design. It is a solid base with raised rubber pads (in the shape of an “X) that raise the laptop by a little less than an inch. It allows heat to escape quite easily while gripping your laptop firmly to the base. A pad on the bottom makes it comfortable for your lap.

Ringtones are like hot cakes for the youngsters, the market is huge, estimated world wide sales of $ 2.5 Billion per year. The cost of a ringtone is ranging from $0.99 - $2.99. Most singers and performers provide rights for their melodies to be converted to ringtones versions. Survey shows that about 26% of cell phone owners downloaded at least once a ringtone.
Many people downloading more than one as you can customize and set the phone to play different ringtones per specific caller.

For instance if mom is calling the cell phone will play a certain ringtone and another one for dad and for your girl friend a different one so you don’t have to guess who is calling you, it is totally personalized per caller.

There are four types of ringtones:

* Monophonic ringtones play a melody of a song one note at a time, with no harmonies.

* Polyphonic tones add harmonies to the song.

* Real-life ringtones include voices, quotes, or other strange, real sounds.

* Master tones are compressed clips of actual songs, as heard on the radio(not just their melodies or a simple harmonic version).

How do you download a ringtone?

There many web sites that offer a huge selections of lyrics and songs, themes from movies, hip-hop, pop, dance, singers, classics and you name it.

The selection is per specific cell phone model and the process is simple, fast and easy. You select a ringtone, choose your cell phone maker and model, you see on the screen an SMS code, you type it in your mobile phone and send, then an SMS message is sent to you with your ringtone to be installed in two short steps process.

It is estimated though that the ringtone download party will cool down a bit in the next few years as more cell phones will become an MP3 players of real music and other cool features.
