a new opinion in Telecommunications about Apple iPhone 4S 32 GB

For the past few years, I've always bought Blackberry smartphones due to wanting a proper QWERTY keyboard and my dislike of unresponsive touchscreen devices caused by previous bad experience. Finally this year, I decided to change and buy an iPhone because of constant problems with Blackberries crashing and becoming slow. As I have purchased a few apple products in the past, I had high expectations of the iPhone - it surpassed them all! Although I thought the touchscreen would be an issue, the on-screen keyboard and responsive screen mean that I have no problems with using it, and prefer it to a traditional keypad now!

I decided to get the 32GB model due to wanting to use the phone as a replacement to my iPod which had recently broken, and have found that the storage is well suited to my needs e.g. quite a few apps and around (2000 songs). However, if you have much more than that I would reccomend getting the 64GB version as once you choose the amount of memory you are stuck with it as it cannot be expanded through external memory cards much like other phones can.

The phone has all the features you would expect of a modern smart phone, along with some others that you may not think you need but will end up using constantly e.g. the popular 'Maps' app. Making calls is quick and easy, and the sound quality is great i.e. no crackling. Messages (the app for sending texts etc.) is also straightforward, and the addition of the conversation style view, where it shows all messages to and from a person in one screen, means it is quick to see what has been sent and recieved. Moreover, the integrated 'iMessage' allows you to send free messages to other iPhone and ipad users, saving you money!

The 8MP camera is one of the best I have used, and it even easily compares to basic digital cameras (with the same features you would expect e.g. flash, manal focussing where you can choose what to focus on). However, at night the picture quality does become slightly less and the images often appear grainy.

Siri is also a great addition to the features found on the iPhone 4, the predecessor to the iPhone 4s. Using Siri makes it easier to find things on the phone, and can tell you a variety of things by searching the web for you so you don't have to. It can also do things like search for nearby restaurants, and even tell you the latest sports scores!

The app store also makes this phone a clear stand out in the market, with a very wide range of apps and something suitable for everyone! With many free apps, you can extend what your phone can do with no additional cost and personalise it so it fulfills your own needs. The app store is constantly being updated too so the possibilities of what you can download expand greatly each time you use it!

One down side of the iPhone to me is the relatively quick battery drain compared to other smart phones. On an average days use for me, the battery can go from 100% to 0% in as little time as 12 hours, which can be very impractical if there are no charging facilities available. Compared to a Blackberry, this is very short as mine could often go a whole day without needing to be charged.

With this issue, and even though the price does seem quite high, I truly think you get good value for money when you buy an iPhone 4s, and would definitely reccomend this phone to anyone.

Mice at risk of asthma, allergies can fight off skin cancer

ScienceDaily (Oct. 15, 2012) ? A molecule involved in asthma and allergies has now been shown to make mice resistant to skin cancer, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

The molecule, called TSLP (thymic stromal lymphopoietin), is produced by damaged skin and activates the immune system. Chronic low levels of TSLP are suspected in making the immune system oversensitive to what should be a harmless environment, leading to the skin rashes and overproduction of mucus common in allergies and asthma.

"But at extremely high levels, TSLP appears to train the immune system to recognize skin cancer cells, and target those cells for elimination," says Raphael Kopan, PhD, the Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Professor of Developmental Biology. "These experiments demonstrate that there is a way for a natural molecule to help immune cells recognize and reject tumors, at least in the skin."

The study appears online Oct 15 in Cancer Cell.

These findings are surprising because most current evidence suggests that the allergic inflammation and release of TSLP increases -- not decreases -- the risk of tumor development.

The disparity may be explained by the amount of TSLP that is produced. The mice that were resistant to skin tumor growth had blood levels of TSLP that were 1,000-fold higher than normal. And levels in the skin -- where it is made -- may be even higher.

"This is an example of where hyper-vigilance of the immune system may end up paying dividends," Kopan says. "Not only does it respond aggressively to an innocuous allergen, but it begins to monitor, survey and destroy cells that are mutant."

The results are supported by another study in the same issue of Cancer Cell also showing TSLP prevents skin cancer in mice.

For Kopan's group, the new research is the culmination of work that began more than six years ago. He and then graduate student Shadmehr Demehri, MD, PhD, wanted to investigate the defects found in mice born without a certain signaling protein in the skin. The protein, called Notch, is vital in properly forming many of the body's tissues, including skin.

Kopan calls it wonderful detective work, beginning with linking TSLP produced in the Notch-deficient skin with asthma. That study was published in PLoS Biology in 2009. And though they couldn't explain it at the time, they saw that many of these animals appeared to be immune to skin cancer.

"We were just trying to understand what was going on with our mice," Kopan says. "We did not set out to find a way to stimulate the immune system to eradicate tumors. But it's often the unexpected observations that lead to practical outcomes."

Since the mice expressed elevated levels of TSLP for genetic reasons related to abnormal Notch signaling, Kopan, Demehri and their colleagues asked whether TSLP would likewise protect normal mice from skin cancer. They tested a drug called Calcipotriol that dermatologists prescribe to treat psoriasis. Calcipotriol is considered a vitamin D "mimic" and is known to cause the skin to produce TSLP.

The researchers found that applying Calcipotriol to the skin of normal, healthy mice protected them from developing skin tumors when exposed to cancer-causing agents. In addition, they saw that existing skin tumors in otherwise normal mice shrank when Calcipotriol was applied.

"We already have treatments in clinical practice, often for other conditions, that induce the skin to produce TSLP," says Demehri, now a dermatology resident who treats patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. "So the next step is to find out if these topical drugs will be helpful in treating pre-cancerous skin lesions in humans."

Kopan stresses that more work must be done to fully understand the role of TSLP in skin cancer. In particular, these short-term studies were limited to the skin of mice and could not completely explain why Calcipotriol protected the healthy mice from skin cancer.

"In the Calcipotriol experiments, we have not fully separated whether the drug's beneficial effects are due to the production of TSLP, or the fact that the drug mimics vitamin D," Kopan says.

According to Kopan, future studies will also investigate whether TSLP might have similar effects on other types of cancer.

Congress widens scrutiny of meningitis outbreak

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers on Friday widened their investigation into the deadly meningitis outbreak to include the role state regulators played in monitoring the pharmacy that produced steroid treatments blamed for killing 14 people in six states.

The U.S. House of Representatives' Energy and Commerce Committee called on the Massachusetts pharmacy board to tell congressional staff what it knew about the New England Compounding Center before the recall of more than 17,000 vials of injectable steroid treatments for back and joint pain from health facilities in 23 states.

Separately, New England Compounding, which voluntarily gave up its license in Massachusetts after it was identified as the likely source of the outbreak, started to shed employees.

The suburban Boston company has cut more than half of its workforce, or about 40 employees.

New England Compounding, which had been licensed in 49 states, is expected to face a torrent of regulatory action and lawsuits.

As past regulatory actions came into focus the U.S. House panel, which oversees health issues including drug safety, said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was aware of production problems at Framingham, Massachusetts-based firm in 2006, including potential public health risks involving a different sterile injectable drug.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee said it would seek information next week from "critical stakeholders" involved in the outbreak, following a closed-door Friday briefing from the staff of the FDA and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS UNDER WAY

The rare fungal form of meningitis has now infected 184 people in 12 states, with Texas reporting its first case on Friday.

The outbreak is a major national health scandal, with multiple investigations under way and a leading Democratic lawmaker, Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, calling for a criminal investigation of the company.

The House committee asked the Massachusetts regulator to agree to a briefing no later than October 19 and requested all inspection reports, records and communications related to New England Compounding Center (NECC) and its sister pharmacy, Ameridose LLC, which has the same owners.

"The committee is investigating whether any remedial measures were taken after this inspection and why the NECC was able to continue operating in this manner more than six years after the fact," Republican Fred Upton, the committee chairman, said in a letter co-authored by six other panel members.

The Massachusetts agency did not comment directly on the committee's request for information, but the state health department said that it had taken swift action in response to the meningitis outbreak.

The specialist pharmacy appears to have violated the licensing regulation that restricted their production to the receipt of "individual patient-specific prescriptions," the department said in a statement. "We are jointly examining all root causes of these events with the FDA."

Late on Friday, Michigan suspended the company's license in the state, which is among the hardest hit in the outbreak.

Attorney General Bill Schuette's office alleged that the specialist pharmacy was acting as a drug manufacturer - distributing large amounts of medication to hospitals and clinics - while licensed only to fill individual prescriptions for patients in the state.

FDA WANTS EXPANDED OVERSIGHT

Lawmakers and organizations including the advocacy group Public Citizen have raised questions about whether the FDA and Massachusetts regulators had the knowledge and authority to act against New England Compounding before the outbreak occurred.

The compounding company has recalled the suspect product, surrendered its operating license and has said it is cooperating with the investigations.

The regulatory issue involves a little-known segment of the pharmacy industry called drug-compounding, in which pharmacists alter or recombine ingredients from FDA-approved drugs to meet the special needs of doctors and their patients.

Pharmacies like NECC are allowed to compound drugs for specific prescriptions, mainly under the supervision of state pharmacy boards rather than the more stringent safety and efficacy standards that the FDA imposes.

FDA officials have called for a new regulatory framework, saying the agency's power to oversee compounding pharmacies is limited, partly as the result of legal challenges that have popped up in courts across the country over more than a decade.

The House committee noted a 2006 FDA letter that said NECC's actions were not consistent with traditional compounding practices and likened the operation to a drug manufacturer.

The CDC is working furiously to contain the meningitis outbreak from medications shipped to 23 states. Deaths have been reported in Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Maryland and Virginia.

Meningitis is an infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include headache, fever and nausea and it must be treated quickly to improve chances of survival. Fungal meningitis is a rare form and is not contagious.

'Taken 2' takes down 'Argo' in close weekend

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Liam Neeson's "Taken 2" has defended its box-office title with a narrow win over Ben Affleck's "Argo."

Sunday studio estimates put 20th Century Fox's action sequel "Taken 2" at No. 1 with $22.5 million in its second weekend. "Taken 2" raised its domestic total to $86.8 million.

Affleck's "Argo," an Iranian hostage thriller from Warner Bros., opened in second-place with $20.1 million.

Ethan Hawke's fright flick "Sinister," a Lionsgate release about a true-crime writer caught up in supernatural horror, debuted at No. 3 with $18.3 million,

Sony's "Here Comes the Boom," with Kevin James as a teacher who becomes a mixed martial arts sensation, started weakly at No. 5 with $12 million.

The weekend's other new wide release, CBS Films' crime comedy "Seven Psychopaths," also opened to small crowds, taking in $4.3 million to finish at No. 9. The movie's ensemble cast includes Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson.

The follow-up to "Taken," the hit that established dramatic star Neeson as an action hero, "Taken 2" was dinged by critics who called it a replay of the original. The sequel has Neeson's ex-CIA guy up against a gang of Albanian goons out for revenge for their kin that he killed in the first movie.

"It kind of proves that reviews do not matter," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "Audiences just continue to eat this up. They just love Liam Neeson in this role."

"Argo" may prove the opposite, using its great reviews and Academy Awards buzz to settle in for a long stay at the box office. Affleck directed and starred in the real-life story about a CIA operative who concocts a plan to rescue six Americans hiding in Tehran after the 1979 U.S. embassy takeover by disguising them as members of a fake movie crew.

Revenues on the film ticked up a whopping 47 percent from opening day Friday to Saturday, a sign that audiences were talking it up exuberantly to friends.

"This is a really good indication of how quickly word of mouth can spread," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros. "The critical acclaim in this case is going to translate into commercial success."

"Argo" played almost entirely to older crowds that do not necessarily rush out to see movies over opening weekend but often check out well-reviewed films in subsequent weeks.

Lionsgate was happy to come in third with "Sinister," ''especially given most people's projections on the film were in the low teens at best," said David Spitz, head of distribution. "It's always nice to come in and over-perform everybody's expectations."

Hollywood's business continues to grow as it heads into the busy holiday season. Overall domestic revenues came in at $132 million, up 51 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Real Steel" led with $16.3 million.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1. "Taken 2," $22.5 million ($41 million international).

2. "Argo," $20.1 million.

3. "Sinister," $18.3 million.

4. "Hotel Transylvania," $17.3 million.

5. "Here Comes the Boom," $12 million.

6. "Pitch Perfect," $9.3 million.

7. "Frankenweenie," $7 million ($4.9 million international).

8. "Looper," $6.3 million.

9. "Seven Psychopaths," $4.3 million.

10. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," $2.2 million.

The seventh-generation iPod nano is yet another full redesign of Apple?s music player, but it?s a welcome move away from the smaller form factor of its predecessor. The new Nano is taller and slimmer, with a 2.5 inch capacitive touchscreen display. It also has a physical home button, which many people were missing.

I spent a few days with the new nano, and though I have an iPhone 4S, and am used to Internet connectivity and cloud-based syncing ? something this doesn?t offer ? there were times when the nano was just the device I needed.

Its compact size, cute form factor and intuitive design makes it the perfect device for listenening to your music, audiobooks or podcasts, or watching short videos while commuting, at the gym, or waiting on the carpool line. It?s light and easy to carry, and gives you a wonderful option when you really don?t want to have your phone with you.

Design

The new iPod nano looks like a smaller version of the iPod touch. The volume rocker on the left side is easy to find and use without looking, and the sleep/wake button is exactly where you would expect to find it: on the top right edge. The headphone jack is on the bottom, right next to the new, smaller Lightning connecter. A USB charging cable is included, but if you were hoping to connect it to any of your existing speaker docks, you?ll have to purchase the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter that only Apple is selling. It costs a way-too-expensive $29, and in our opinion, should be included in the package.

The device itself is constructed of a single piece of aluminum, so it looks and feels smooth in the palm of your hand. It?s tiny, standing barely above 3 inches tall and weighing 1.1 ounces. It includes Apple?s new EarPods which many people say fits their ears better than the previous style earbuds. If they?re not for you, you can always check out our headphone recommendations. The wallpaper background on the nano matches the color of the device you?ve chosen (there are eight to choose from) and though you can change the pattern in the settings, it is a nice touch.

Features

This music player is so intuitive, an adult could use it. Of course kids already know how to navigate these devices, but adults new to MP3 players often have a difficult time with the menu and file structure. Yes, I really do think this is easy enough for my mom to use.

Like the previous versions, this retains the big icons on the home screen, which you can tap and move to personalize to your liking. One tap opens your music, one more tap lets you scroll and start playing. Want to switch to video? Simply tap the home screen to get back to the main menu.

The nano has always been a great choice for runners. Not only can you carry your music with you, but the built-in pedometer and Nike+ support make for a great workout coach. After your run ? or walk, as I like to do ? you can sync the device to Nike to track your progress. Since most of my exercise comes from running for the train, I like the stopwatch and timer functions which tell me exactly how much time I have in between hearing the warning whistle sound, and the train actually rolling into the station.

SEE ALSO: Is the 5th-Gen iPod Touch Still Relevant? [REVIEW]

One downside to the nano is that you still have to use iTunes to move music and other media onto it. Once you?ve been able to download apps and songs while on the go, it?s hard to go back to being tethered to a computer and iTunes. Apple has brought back the ability to watch video in this version, but I wish the company had also brought back the ability to record video. That was a welcome addition in the fourth-generation model, which went away when the screen size shrank.

Speaking of screens, though it?s not a retina display like the new iPhone and iPad, it does a nice job of displaying photos. The multi-touch display means pictures can be pinched and zoomed just like on other iOS devices.

Connectivity

Because there?s no Wi-Fi, you can?t connect to the Internet or download music and apps, or text with friends. There is, however, built-in Bluetooth so you can wirelessly connect to speakers, headphones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. This means you don?t have to be tethered to EarPods at the gym; you can use a Bluetooth headset and avoid those messy wires. This is also great if your car speakers are Bluetooth-enabled.

The FM Radio adds a Live Pause feature which is nice for news junkies like me. You can hear the latest news, quietly catch a playoff game while watching your kid?s soccer game, or listen to a live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera. If you need to stop momentarily, simply tap the screen to pause the broadcast and you can go back to it when you?re ready.

Who?s it For?

The nano is great for anyone just learning how to use an MP3 player, or younger kids who aren?t yet ready to have a connected device. For $149 there?s 16GB of storage which can hold plenty of music and video. Apple claims 30 hours of battery life, though we haven?t tested this yet. While you can still find the previous generation nano for less, it lacks the larger display and video playback.

For parents who want to give their kids the ability to play music and games without accessing the Internet, or for anyone who wants media without having to be tied to a phone, this is the media player to get.
