Surgeons Who Play Video Games are More Skilled

Recent studies showed that the surgeons who play video games are more skilled. It seems that video games contribute to a more precise technique of using different medical instruments. The February issue of Archives of Surgery states that there is a direct link between having video game skills and the abilities of a surgeon to perform a laparoscopic surgery. ...

Hey, Micky, thanks for sharing that. Honestly, I didn't see the Japanese from that side. I mean, I always thought they were something like this "+40" described them.

As someone living in Japan right now, I can tell you that the iPhone is far beyond anything they have here. People here rarely buy smartphones, and the browsers on the 3G phones leave much to be desired.

Perhaps the sale of iPhones will increase peoples exposure to Apple as well, it would be nice to see some more variety. I can hardly talk people out of using internet explorer, much less switch to a different operating system.

This is ridiculous!! giving antidepressants to small children... and babies... there are so many complications that can arise from this... and what kind of nervous system will these kids have when they grow old??? i am against antidepressants in adults, because all they do is fight with the so-called "symptoms" and just for a short time... the main cause is the one to be changed here, not its consequences - that is the way of thinking of people in depression, their way of living and so on... if you don't change this, you'll have to take pills all your life and they won't help you... but most of all, giving them to babies and children... i totally disagree with it...

the smoking should be banned completely, the smokers should give off their habits

I am honestly sorry that this happened but i dont think that smoking should be banned in public places. It goes against personal rights. Most workers usually know when they have health problems and if they think that they are going to be affected by their work environment they need to find a different job that suits them better. I do however think that smoking and non smoking sections of places like restaurants should be better separated. and also if they were to ban smoking in public places...I'm pretty sure people can wait to have a cigarette until they get home or in their car. or go smoke outside. it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
