Breast Pain? Why You Can Stop Worrying About Cancer

The fear factor Breast pain can be scary. Your mind immediately thinks cancer, but in all likelihood, cancer is not the cause. “The important thing for patients to realize is that while it can be a sign [of cancer], it is very rare,” says Michael Cowher, a breast surgeon with Cleveland Clinic. Breast cancer rarely produces painful symptoms, and the best way to detect it is still with your fingers.

Surprising Things That Could Impact Your Sexual Health

The “Yes Means Yes” bill, recently passed in California, was one of those rare instances —a new law that stands to change the way we view sexual assault in this country (see below for more detail).  But this landmark decision isn’t the only current legislation that could impact the way we handle important sexual-health issues in the United States. Right now, everything from emergency contraception to blood donation among gay

You played as a train in Fallout 3, but you didn't realise it

An interesting story recently broke on 4chan, describing how the metro car in Fallout 3’s Broken Steel add-on was actually powered by sticking the car on the head of an NPC and making them run really fast. However, our pals over at PC Gamer have discovered that’s not entirely true. After a bit of tinkering, they uncovered that it’s not a hat but actually an arm piece. In fact, the

Apple gives weak forecast, shares fall nearly 7 percent

BENGALURU/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Apple Inc shares slumped nearly 7 percent in after-hours trading as its fourth-quarter revenue forecast fell short of estimates and it missed some targets for iPhone sales. The forecast overshadowed Apple’s strong sales in China, which more than doubled to $13.23 billion from a year earlier. Apple Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said in an interview the results in China were “spectacular” during the quarter and

2016 Audi R8 Driven! The Software Makes the Difference

-Hardware matters, but often it’s the software that tells the hardware how to operate that makes the difference.

The new Audi R8 is perhaps the greatest example of tuning through 1s and 0s. There’s no question the hardware here is superb. The

2016 Kia Sorento 2.0T AWD Tested: Four Can Be More than Six

-It used to be rare that we’d test a four-cylinder vehicle that cost more than the same model equipped with a V-6, but that’s becoming more common—and it’s what we have here: a loaded Kia Sorento SXL for $45,095, fully 10 percent pricier than the V-6 AWD edition tested previously. This four, though, isn’t the base engine—it’s the 240-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter found in the EX and in this SXL (for

Zoom-Zoomstart: Mazda Introduces Mobile App With Remote Vehicle Features

– Mazda, which is perhaps the most-awarded car company (by yours truly, of course), is introducing a new mobile app–based suite of remote-control vehicle features dubbed Mazda Mobile Start. Similar to GM’s OnStar app, Mazda Mobile Start (MMS) allows users to remotely start their engine, lock or unlock the doors, fire up the car alarm, and find their car’s location all from a smartphone app.– – – For now, Mazda
