Last year we reported on a story about a young man by the name of Chris Staniforth in In the UK who died of a deep vein thrombosis. this is apparently becoming more common than we believed at the time. This time it occurred in New Taipei, Taiwan where another young man Chen Rong-yu, 23 passed during an internet cafe marathon session, and stayed unnoticed for as many as 9 hours. This should be a wake up call for the rest of us. GET UP! once in awhile and move around. Stop taking for granted that your body will deal with a lack of movement. And if you are in an environment where others are sitting for extended periods look around and pay attention to your neighbors. if they seem to be having a problem, ask them. The worst you'll get for your trouble is a dirty look for distracting them.

IRVINE, CALIF., February, 2012 – Hear the word "geek" and visions of someone overly intellectual and socially awkward may come to mind. When that "geek" is also a "dad" the image may very well be a middle-aged man wearing black socks with sandals and a pocket protector, but new thinking may be changing all that for the better. A new survey by Cisco's Home Networking Business, maker of Linksys® products, finds that today's geeks are cooler, connected and more engaged fathers than people may realize.

The upcoming trinity will also include HD7640G or HD7660G graphics.Other features include USB 3.0, mPCIE (mSATA), WiFi 802.11n, Gigabit LAN, TV tuner, 4-in-1 card reader.

There are three models available: MC101 Barebone, MC101, and MC101 Pro. The barebone will not include any OS while the other two will include Windows 7 Home Premium.
