It looks like Huawei are going from strength to strength these days and it would appear that they are all set to start promoting the Ascend P1 Android smartphone on television.
The following video cropped up today on Huawei's YouTube channel and like many other smartphone commercials around at the moment it doesn't focus so much on the actual device but trys to portrait a message. The message here is quite clear:
The Ascend P1 is beauty meets brains -- proof that technology and good looks can go hand-in-hand.
I think Huawei are making a lot of sense here as the device certainly matches up to its image. With a dual-core 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460 Cortext-A9 processor, measuring 7.69mm thin and 64.8 mm long, combined with a 4.3-inch super AMOLED 960 x 540 touch screen with Corning® Gorilla® Glass, an 8-megapixel BSI rear-facing camera and Dolby Mobile 3.0 + 5.1 surround sound technology the Ascend P1 is not a phone to be sniffed at.
You can check out the new TV commercial below and if you didn't see our full review of the device you can do so here.

LUMOback wants to show all those DIY posture dilitantes what's what with its Smart Posture Sensor, an app and hardware combo that tracks your carriage and vibrates when you hunch. The thinnish 8.5mm sensor is worn like a belt, and on top of the tactile nagging, it provides detailed iPhone or iPad charting of the sitting, running and even sleeping you did, complete with an xkcd-like stickman video replaying all your crooked moves. So far the team is about a third of the way to its $100K mark, and a minimum $99 pledge will get you a jet-black model if it's built, with a $125 chip-in letting you vote on a a second shipping color, to boot. If some of your activities consist of, say, blogging in front of a computer screen all day, check the video after the break for relief.

In the 1995 techno thriller, The Net, Sandra Bullock plays a software programmer who unwittingly uncovers a plot to gain access to the world?s most sensitive computers. The bad guy, played by Jeremy Northam, tries to kill Bullock literally and virtually?by stealing her identity. (For a hacker, Bullock?s character is remarkably dim; when she finally catches on to what?s happening, she whines: ?Our whole lives are on the computer.?) Apple (AAPL) gets the customary product cameo as the movie imagines a world in which ordering pizza online or accessing a database from a laptop computer in a car is commonplace.
A second product has a more prominent role, only there?s no logo or corporate sponsor credited for the cell phone used by Northam?s villain. In the final chase scene, he makes a call simply by pressing his phone?s touchscreen. When The Net was made, there was only one cell phone with a touchscreen and sufficient smarts for one-touch dialing: the Simon Personal Communicator. By the time the movie hit theaters that summer, the phone was off the market after its brief, six-month run before consumers. At least Simon left a more lasting impression than the movie did.
Early prototype designs. The yellow one (never produced) got all the attention in presentations
Simon was the first smartphone. Twenty years ago, it envisioned our app-happy mobile lives, squeezing the features of a cell phone, pager, fax machine, and computer into an 18-ounce black brick. The touchscreen (monochrome) had icons you tapped, or poked with a stylus, for e-mail, calculator, calendar, clock, and a game called Scramble in which you moved squares around the screen until you formed a picture. It featured predictive typing that would guess the next characters as you pecked. And it had apps, or at least a way to deliver more features?including a camera, maps, and music?by plugging a memory card into the phone.
BellSouth wanted customers to think of the phone as being as easy to use as ?Simon Says ...?
It would take an additional 10 years before anyone called a cell phone ?smart,? and a further five before the iPhone shattered our view of what these digital devices could do for us. Simon retailed for $899 and sold approximately 50,000 units. If you were a heavy data user, you had about 60 minutes before you needed to recharge?as little as 30 minutes in areas with poor cell coverage. The Smithsonian Institution has one. Nearly two decades later, you can still find Simons for sale by collectors at the same retail price.
When a few IBM (IBM) engineers first showed a working prototype at the 1992 Comdex computer show in Las Vegas, the model was code-named ?Angler? and drew crowds of people eight-to-10 deep. BellSouth Cellular teamed with IBM to turn it into a commercial product with a Milton-Bradley-meets-Gene-Rodenberry name. The two companies hold 11 Simon-related patents?including how to highlight text on a touchscreen to do things like place a call, update apps in the field, and remotely set up and activate a cell phone?among other unique functions that are now standard on smartphones.
The story of Simon is the timeless lesson of tech innovation: Groundbreaking products require a rich ecosystem before the ?big idea? can become truly useful or widespread. In this case, what was needed included fast networks, Web browsers, and a whole lot of apps waiting to be pulled off the Internet. In the early 1990s, none of these were available. Phone networks were designed mostly for voice, not sending data. When Simon was conceived, a Web browser had yet to be released. IBM was hemorrhaging money and people, losing $16 billion and over 100,000 jobs in the years from 1991 to 1993. In the end, technical limitations, product delays, a world-class corporate meltdown, revolving-door management, and bad business decisions conspired against Simon.
Plastic mockups of memory cards show how additional features (today's apps) could make Simon versatile
IBM and BellSouth chose to drop the phone and abandon a next-generation version of Simon that would have been closer in size to an iPhone. Motorola (MOT), a supplier of the cellular smarts for the prototype, passed when it came time to build the product, concerned that it would be helping IBM become a future competitor. Mitsubishi (6503:JP) replaced Motorola and built the commercial product.
Simon?s short lifespan also illustrates how truly original tech products feed so many other creative efforts, if not those of its creators?at least directly. ?The innovations of the Simon are reflected in virtually all modern touchscreen phones,? writes Bill Buxton in an e-mail. Buxton, a computer scientist at Microsoft (MSFT) Research, has been collecting groundbreaking tech gadgets for 30 years. He has two Simons, including one in its original box.
It?s somehow fitting that Simon is nowhere in the credits of The Net. IBM has no record of Simon in its archives. The company passes inquiries on to BellSouth, which merged with AT&T (T) in an $86 billion deal in 2006. The original engineers that worked on Simon still refer to themselves as ?Simoneers.? In over 20 conversations and e-mail exchanges I had with the BellSouth and IBM team members about the project, some memories had faded over time. But the team discussed its technical accomplishments with pride, despite Simon?s belly flop in the market.
Frank J. Canova Jr. is the IBM engineer who came up with the original concept for Simon. With 51 patents logged over the course of his career, he always had a few ideas banging around in his head. In the early ?90s, he was thinking chip-and-wireless technology was becoming small enough to put in the palm of your hand. He described his concept to colleagues, including his boss Jerry Merckel, who was on an industry task force working up specifications for a now defunct device (the PCMCIA card) that could plug into a laptop computer for extra memory?the grandfather of today?s thumb drives. Merckel realized the cards could be used to launch other apps or services for Canova?s phone. He just needed approval to build a prototype.
Paul C. Mugge indirectly put all this in motion after he became director of the Florida Research Lab in late 1988?long after the glory days of the IBM Personal Computer Co.?with a mandate to re-energize development. Mugge put together a small team of engineers including Canova and Merckel to explore ways to use ever-smaller, more powerful electronics to build new products.
One day in Mugge?s office, he listened to Merckel?s pitch. ?This is the phone of the future,? Merckel said, reaching into a sleek black aluminum box to pull out plastic cards, all in different colors. (Those cards didn?t function and were purely for show; they had been created by Hunter T. Foy, who headed a small group of industrial designers attached to the lab.) Merckel explained to Mugge that you plug the card into the phone to get directions or music. One card, labeled ?ZZ Top?s Greatest Hits? (with a picture of the group), was Merckel?s personal favorite. On reading the label, Mugge asked: ?Who?s ZZ Top?? He approved the project anyway.
The applications on those cards became the core of IBM?s first services, code-named InTouch. ?We knew services would make or break Simon,? says Mugge, now executive director of the Center for Innovation Management Studies at North Carolina State University. ?As you see with Apple, without apps [the iPhone] is just a device. It all came to pass?unfortunately 15 years later,? he says.
To give the concept form, IBM turned to Frog Design, a rare move because the computer giant never went outside for design work. When Foy projected it would cost $80,000 to create the prototype, he says, Merckel and Mugge ?threw up on it.? When Frog didn?t come up with anything radically different from Foy?s early sketches, he was soon back on the project. IBM paid Frog $49,760 for its sketches, according to an unsigned copy of the agreement.
There wasn?t much leeway for Frog to come up with a different look. The phone could be only so small. The memory cards dictated a certain width. The touchscreen had a set thickness. And you needed a battery with enough juice to power the device. The finished prototype is the Shaq of phones, standing 8 inches high, 2.5 inches wide, and 1.5 in. thick. Pull out your smartphone and you?ll see the difference.
Everything about the phone required something unique, from the motherboard housing an Intel (INTC) chip to the operating system and on to the way all its features interrelated. At first there was no rush to produce the prototype, but IBM decided 14 weeks before Comdex that it wanted to display the device at the trade show. The race was on. Canova and other engineers worked 80-hour weeks, including weekends, right up to the last day.
The prototype at Comdex displayed a map of the Las Vegas strip, plus stock quotes. There was no website for Canova to download that information, so he scanned the maps into the prototype?s memory from printed sources and punched in sample ticker data. ?It was hard for people to believe back then you would carry maps or stock quotes in your phone,? he says. ?As we know now, it was just the tip of the iceberg.?
When the team finished the prototype?it wasn?t clear they?d make the deadline until two weeks before the show?IBM sent a manager to Florida to make sure ?Angler? worked as advertised. (A substitute was ready if it didn?t.) It worked too well: The company made the team encase each of the three prototypes for Comdex in bulky, see-through plastic housing to make clear that these were not finished products. ?IBM was afraid people would want to buy it,? says Canova.
In truth, IBM wasn?t sure it wanted to be in the phone business. Alan Testani recalls showing Jack Keuhler, then IBM?s top technologist, a prototype. Keuhler, an internal critic of IBM?s already troubled communications effort, called it ?a World War II walkie talkie.? It wasn?t a compliment.
Early prototype designs. The yellow one, which was never produced, got all the attention in presentations
The effort moved forward, anyway. Deep within IBM?s DNA was the eternal belief that the multiplication of electronic gadgets?cell phones or PCs?would fuel demand for big, powerful mainframe computers. Jim Cannavino, then a senior vice president responsible for IBM?s Personal Systems division, recalls telling the board: ?Whether you want to build them or not (cell phones), you really want them to happen. That was the air cover to get Simon out the door.?
Canova has a video taken by one of the Simoneers as they?re setting up in Las Vegas before Comdex opens. The narrator approaches the mustachioed engineer as he?s intently working on the prototype. Then in his early 30s, Canova is wearing a white, short-sleeved shirt. He seems genuinely surprised as he reports that everything is working smoothly. There?s a hint of pride when he says colleagues like the device.
Later, Canova walked out into the cool Las Vegas night to call Gary Wisgo, the project?s engineering manager. Wisgo had booked too late to get a hotel room anywhere near the convention center. ?Here I was, talking to someone with access to my calendar, e-mail, and much more, with only a phone in my hand. For the first time, no computer was needed,? recalls Canova. ?That simple moment is when I realized the world was about to change.?
When the show opened the next day, Canova and the other engineers demonstrating the product were swamped. The prototype was a hit. Wisgo remembers awakening to a ringing phone at 6 a.m. An excited engineer was calling to tell him the project had made the front page of USA Today?s Money section, with a photo of Canova holding the prototype. The positive reaction convinced IBM?s senor management to build a real product. It helped that BellSouth wanted in on the action. IBM pumped money into the effort and the team grew from five engineers to 32. This was one of the rare parts of IBM that was hiring.
The timing was perfect for Jim Thorpe, senior vice president of marketing for BellSouth Cellular, whose boss wanted to know what they could do to differentiate the company. Thorpe had set up a research and development lab, run by Dan Norman, to devise innovative products. It was BellSouth that came up with the name Simon, following an internal debate over whether the phone should have a science fiction-sounding name (Merlin and Wizard were suggestions.) Others wanted something easy to remember that would evoke simplicity. One of the marketing managers had seen his kids play with the popular electronic memory game, Simon, which asked you to repeat a series of tones that got progressively more difficult in order to win. He suggested Simon, as in ?Simon says simplicity.? An ad campaign was born.
The Simon Personal Communicator had its coming-out party on Nov. 2, 1993, at a telecommunications trade show at Disney World (DIS) in Orlando. Before an audience of 150 analysts and journalists, Norman and Rich Guidotti, a product development manager, did their interpretation of Alexander Graham Bell?s celebrated moment. On stage, Norman sent Guidotti a fax: ?Rich, Simon looks great. Dan.? Thorpe has the fax framed in his house, along with the stylus Norman used.
To promote Simon at trade shows and to distributors, BellSouth made a video. Norman says the company was concerned customers would think Simon was too complicated because it could do so much. (This was right after Apple?s Newton bombed.) They hired an actress to have a little fun with Simon, playing a character named Christy. She is shown in situations you might not think to use Simon, but could: Send a fax while on a picnic, or check e-mail at the opera. As the video progresses, Christy starts making outrageous claims such as, ?It?ll wash your car,? and ?You can talk to aliens.? Norman appears in the video as the voice of reason, denying you can do those things. The video even veers into late-night infomercial territory: ?What would you expect to pay for a machine that does all this, $5,000, $10,000, or more? How about under $1,000??
The video drummed up interest, but Simon wasn?t ready for its scheduled release in May 1994. Customers couldn?t get one until Aug. 16. IBM was still wrestling with the device?s short battery life. Its engineers reworked some software, but? the ultimate solution was to provide a second battery, as a lot of video cameras did at the time. That was just one issue. Consumers were then enthralled by the popular, less expensive, $500 flip cell phones. They were small and cool. (And they looked much more like those communicators on Star Trek.)
Norman, who has one of the original Simon prototypes from Comdex, conceived what would have been a first for the cellular industry?activating a cell phone ?wirelessly over the air.? (AT&T now holds the patent.) At the time, cell phones had to be programmed at the store. It was a laborious, manual process that could take two hours. Norman planned to include with every Simon the software that would let BellSouth handle everything. Simon was off the market before the feature was ready. ?That was actually a bigger deal than anything else that Simon was capable of doing,? he says.
There was a second generation of Simon, code named Neon?thinner and shorter?that also didn?t make it out. The design, sans fax, was to be closer in shape to the eventual iPhone. IBM even made a logo for Neon with the name running both vertically and horizontally around the letter O; it would say Neon, no matter how it was held. ?We actually rotated the screen like the iPhone,? says Canova.
By now, IBM was closing plants and offices around the world. The company moved PC operations out of Florida, sending the Simon design work to Raleigh, N.C. Many Simon engineers didn?t want to move north, so they left. Canova eventually departed after trying to work with the team in Raleigh.
Merckel, now a professor of engineering at the University of North Florida, had more features in the works, too, including a card that would turn the phone into a radio. He also tried to convince Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to supply the chip for future products. Those efforts went nowhere. ?I threw it in the trash,? he says of the working prototype for the radio. ?IBM was disappearing.?
By early 1995, Simon was off the market. IBM decided not to pursue the business. BellSouth put money into improving its own communications network.
Today, BellSouth executives say Simon was worthwhile. Tech companies began to think about how they could use cellular technology in their products. BellSouth received recognition and attracted partners such as Microsoft, which had never before called on their company.
For Mugge, the lesson of Simon is a familiar tale for many pioneers: ?Don?t invent one of these things before they invent the Internet or fiber optics with tremendous bandwidth.?

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Facing weekend deadlines for action, congressional leaders have agreed to deals overhauling the nation's transportation programs without a Republican provision forcing approval of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, and avoiding a doubling of interest rates for new student loans, congressional officials said Wednesday.
The agreements underscored the pressures both parties face to avoid angering voters and facing embarrassing headlines in the run-up to this November's presidential and congressional elections. Letting road-building programs grind to a halt during an economic downturn would be a blow to the image of lawmakers, while Democrats and Republicans alike seemed eager to avoid enraging millions of students and their parents by boosting the costs of college loans.
In contrast, enactment of the transportation measure would create or save 3 million jobs, said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chief sponsor of the Senate version of the bill. And the student loan measure would spare an estimated 7.4 million students who get subsidized Stafford loans beginning July 1 ? this Sunday ? from facing $1,000 in higher interest costs over the lives of their loans, which typically take over a decade to repay.
Congressional leaders were planning to combine the highway and student loan measures into a single bill to reduce potential procedural obstacles and hoped for final approval this week. Lawmakers would then leave Washington for a July 4 recess.
The two-year highway bill would prevent the government's authority to spend money on highways, bridges and transit systems from lapsing on Saturday, along with its ability to collect gasoline and diesel taxes. With both parties checkmating each other's top priorities this campaign season, Democrats and Republicans say the highway measure will be Congress' top job-creation initiative until the November elections.
"This is the jobs bill for the 112th Congress," said House Transportation Committee Chairman John Mica, R-Fla.
As the price for the highway agreement, lawmakers said Republicans dropped a House-approved provision requiring the government to approve the proposed Keystone pipeline, which is to move oil from western Canada to Texas' Gulf Coast.
Pipeline approval ? which prompted a veto threat from President Barack Obama ? has been a top goal this election year for the GOP, which has pitted its claims that it would create jobs against environmental worries that it could accelerate global warming and endanger Midwestern water supplies.
Republicans also agreed to abandon language blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating the toxic ash generated by coal-fired power plants, lawmakers said. The ash is used as an ingredient in some types of cement.
In return, House Republicans won Senate concessions that would halve the time allowed for environmental reviews for highway projects, and squeeze money for bike paths and pedestrian safety projects by forcing them to compete with other transportation projects, said congressional aides and environmental lobbyists.
The bill would give states more flexibility in spending federal money, impose new safety regulations and expand a federal loan guarantee program to encourage private investments in transportation projects.
Despite the measure's short-term impact, the bill delays for two years decisions about a long-term funding scheme for highway and transit programs. Gas and diesel taxes no longer cover the cost of transportation programs and are forecast to bring in less revenue as the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks increases.
President Barack Obama spent weeks this spring touring college campuses and lambasting Republicans for not pushing a freeze on student loan rates through Congress. GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, looking to avoid handing Obama an issue, quickly said he favored the interest rate extension and congressional GOP leaders did too, though some Republicans think the government should not spend money to keep loan rates low.
The student loan pact would keep today's 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans from doubling for new loans approved beginning on Sunday, an automatic increase that Congress enacted five years ago to save money. If they did double, it would affect 7.4 million students expected to get the loans over the 12 months beginning July 1, adding $1,000 to the interest costs of the typical borrower over each loan's life.
The tentative agreement was on the same package Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had said Tuesday that they had shaken hands on, said a congressional Republican who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the measure's status. McConnell said he expected the House to accept the agreement.
"We're moving, I think, towards an agreement on a transportation bill that would also include a one-year fix on the student loan rate increase," Boehner told reporters early Wednesday after meeting privately with House Republicans.
Some GOP lawmakers at that meeting said Boehner seemed to favor the emerging deal and said it received a positive reception.
"The general sense is there's a tremendous amount of support for getting it done," said Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y. "That's what's going to drive it across the finish line."
The two parties spent the last several weeks dueling over how to pay for the $6 billion cost of the student loan bill.
Under the agreement, the government would raise $5 billion by changing how companies calculate the money they have to set aside for pensions. That change would make their contributions more consistent from year to year and in effect reduce their payments initially, lowering the tax deductions they receive for their pension contributions.
Another $500 million would come from increasing the fees companies pay for the government to insure their pension plans, linking those fees to inflation.
In addition, $1.2 billion would be saved by limiting federal subsidies of Stafford loans to six years for undergraduates.
Lawmakers were discussing potentially wrapping in another Senate bill to reauthorize the national flood insurance program for five years.
The program, which provides federally backed insurance for 5.6 million households and businesses, many in flood-prone areas, has gone deeply into the red from claims after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The Senate legislation would try to return the program to fiscal soundness through such steps as allowing premium increases and reducing subsidies for vacation homes.

Brain tumor cells, from Ignatova et al., Glia, 2002
I had a very strange week. While in Washington, D.C., writing news releases, for the Model Organisms to Human Biology: Cancer Genetics meeting sponsored by the Genetics Society of America, I had left, back home in upstate New York, my dear hospice patient. Ruth was nearing the end of her battle with liver cancer. It was jarring to go from holding her hand to listening to litanies of deranged signal transduction pathways and cascades of mutations that cause the damn diseases.
I?ve been Ruth?s hospice volunteer for 4 months, visiting her in a nursing home. Age 85 and fiercely intelligent, she refused a surgery that she knew she would likely not awaken from. So she decided to let nature take its course. Until about 3 weeks ago, it was easy to pretend she wasn?t really sick, she was so vibrant, chatty, and eager to talk about books and films and what was happening in the world. But then, suddenly, she couldn?t find the words for things. It escalated quickly. And we both knew that the large tumor in her abdomen had sent seeds of itself upward, into her brain. At least I was able to show her in my anatomy and physiology textbook that her Wernicke?s area was affected, the speech center in her cerebral cortex, and not anything vital. Yet.
So on June 17, at the opening keynote talk at the Model Organisms meeting, I felt a stab when Bert Vogelstein said, ?about 3,000 resistant cells are present in every visible metastasis.? Dr. Vogelstein, whose name is practically synonymous with ?genes behind colon cancer,? is director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins University and Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He?d just shown two photos from a recent study of a melanoma patient before and soon after a new treatment: the lesions spotting his body had vanished. But after the 3,000-cell comment, Dr. Vogelstein put up a third slide ? the man?s skin tumors were back. And it had taken mere months.
I thought of Ruth, and the trajectory that her cancer cells had taken from her liver to her brain.
Dr. Vogelstein continued, ?Metastasis is a fait accompli. All we?re doing is killing the tumors that don?t have resistant cells. It is a side effect of the evolution of cancer,? referring to the genetic changes that drive a cancer to invade and then spread.
If even the tiniest secondary tumor harbors thousands of cells protecting it from the drugs we throw at it, what?s a cancer patient to do? Dr. Vogelstein had two suggestions: treat when the tumor is small and less likely to have acquired mutations in resistance genes, or use combinations of agents. ?The chance that a single cell in a metastasis has 2 genes mutant that can confer resistance is exponentially less than they?d have one,? he said, adding that using combinations of treatments is nothing new.
One in three of us has had or will have cancer. I lost both parents to cancer, and had it myself. I think about it a lot.
If Dr. Vogelstein?s message could be summed up in one word, it would be FRUSTRATION. So here are 4 things to prevent cancer, catch it early, or keep it from spreading. The first three are so oft-stated and so obvious and time-tested I won?t even link to anything:
1. Stay away from the obvious triggers, if you can. Smoke. Sun. Pollution.
2. Eat mostly vegetables, limiting saturated fats and simple carbs.
3. Exercise.
4. Stay ahead of your doctors. Don?t get medical information from a 2-minute story on the evening news, a 10-minute visit with a health care practitioner, or blogs that repeat information (even news releases) without linking to original, peer-reviewed sources.
Educate yourself. Scan EurekAlert for a heads up on breaking medical news. Check out www.clinicaltrials.gov to learn about experimental treatments. And read medical journals. Yes you can!
Medical journals run editorials, summaries, and abstracts for those who don?t want to plow through jargony, stat-studded articles. Thanks to reading back-to-back studies in the New England Journal of Medicine, in March 2009, someone close to me chose active surveillance instead of surgery for prostate cancer. Although the news that PSA screening has led to overtreatment flitted in and out of the media, and the two investigations evaluated 258,693 men, it took THREE YEARS for the PSA test to be declared useless as a screening test for prostate cancer. I wonder how many unnecessary surgeries happened in the interim. (These findings may seem to contradict what I said above about metastasis, but they point to the fact that different types of cancer, and different subtypes, have different tendencies to metastasize. And many prostate cancers wouldn?t do so within a normal human lifespan.)
A final word: if you do everything right, and still get cancer, don?t feel guilty. Blame biology. For cancer is a consequence of being many-celled, of living longer, and of the inherent changeability of our DNA.

prostate cancer risk factors: 1, tall individuals who have prostate cancer risk seemed to be higher. It really is unclear the precise cause are closely related towards the promotion of body human growth hormone will even promote abnormal cell division and cancer.
?2, a higher daily consumption of saturated essential fatty acids or animal oil to prostate cancer risk might be partly explained considering that the animal oil will modify the body?s hormonal changes.
3, testosterone can stimulate prostatic hyperplasia, men with higher testosterone levels for example those patients with gonadal dysgenesis or testosterone treatment than low testosterone levels almost certainly going to develop prostate cancer.

Facebook quietly added a new feature to its mobile?website and apps this weekend. It's called "Find Friends Nearby" and it ... well, it does exactly what you'd think it might.
TechCrunch's Ingrid Lunden was among the first to call attention to the new feature, after a developer tipped her off.
You can access?Find Friends Nearby either through the iOS or Android?Facebook apps ? just open up the main?menu, tap "Apps," select "Find Friends," press "Other Tools," and then pick "Find Friends Nearby"?? or by?heading to http://fb.com/ffn?on your mobile device.
Note that you'll have to authorize either the apps or your browser to access your current location. This doesn't mean that?you're allowing either to reveal your location all the time though. As soon as you leave the Find Friends Nearby page, you'll be off the radar once again. (This makes sense because it prevents people from stalking you?invisibly or from being stalked without actively choosing to announce their location.)
While you are on the Find Friends Nearby page?? it looks the same in the apps and in the browser ? you'll be able to find out who happens to be both near you and staring at that same page.
The feature is incredibly convenient if you happen to be chatting with someone in person and want to add him as a Facebook friend. Rather than tapping out his name and wasting minutes scrolling through a list of similarly named individuals, you can just ask your new pal to open up the Find Friends Nearby page and add him with a quick tap.
Opening up the Find My Friends page, while convenient, also exposes you to potential awkward or creepy moments. There is always a chance that someone you are avoiding or not interested in interacting with ?will happen to have the same page open?? and spot your name. He or she would instantly know that you are nearby and quickly view the public information on your Facebook profile.
So the final verdict? Find Friends Nearby is incredibly convenient, but?? like many similar tools ? not without potential for disaster.?
Want more tech news, silly puns, or amusing links? You'll get plenty of all three if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.
