Guys read this 'cos us music fans are in major trouble!!!

This articles discusses the effects of ipods on the hearing of young people. The article details the damage us young people are causing to our eardrums because of listening to ipods at volume levels that arent safe and for really long lengths of time.

This potentially will cause eventual loss of hearing! I found this quite shocking that despite knowing these obvious health risks most of us will ignore this and continue blasting our choons at dangerous levels (example the annoying people on the bus with odd tastes in music that you can hear what theyre listening to even though your five seats behind). I was quite surprised to learn that almost 5 million young people in America have experienced hearing loss due to volumes of mp3 players that evoke constant loud noises.


So cmon lads lower down the ipods because you might not be able to hear those banging toons at all if you keep blaring 'em!!!!

Quite a scary article here guys!
This article deals with cybercrime and how it is newly targeting job seekers and recruiters alike. From reading this I learned how those sick scammers are setting up fake advertisments for jobs, so unsuspecting unemployed workers would apply for the seemingly promosing offer while the scammer uses their details to sell to recruiters and in turn make money for their greedy selves.

I found this most shocking as it is affecting such vulnerable people and exploiting them. How scary is this like after all we are living through a recession and jobs are like gold dust lately. This article also draws attention to how scammers will use all personal details given by the job seeker for phising purposes a serious aspect of cyber crime used today.

Word to the wise and always be careful when posting any personal info to any website.
