Scientists are now beginning to understand more on the causes of migraines and the potential medicines that will help millions of people.
‘For millions of people, these developments mark a breakthrough—not only in terms of relief from pain if all goes well but also in regard to attitudes about migraine. Scientists and physicians are finally coming to see migraine for the complex, biologically fascinating process it is and to recognize its powerfully debilitating effects. The disorder is “imaginary” no longer.’
YouTube is now offering higher quality streaming of videos.
“Select videos on the site are already available in 480×360 resolution — it’s not HD, but it is a step up from the old 320×240 format.

Yesterday, Starbucks Corp. decided to move away from T-Mobile as their wifi provider to AT&t. What does this mean to current AT&T DSL users? Thats right, free wifi!
