06.11.2009Suicide prevention takes a forward step
In a move to curb the alarmingly high rate of youth depression and suicide, social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and Twitter could be
scanned for signs of "at risk" behaviour. Researchers at New Zealand's Victoria University claim to have devised a program that is capable of
scanning posts within social networking sites to identify keywords that could indicate that a poster is at risk of depression, self-harm, suicide or
even harming others. "Our technology picks up words and phrases such as 'depressed', or 'I don't want to live anymore' or 'I
want to kill somebody'", Dr Tiong-Thye Goh said.

16.10.2009Ministers seek curbs on internet suicide sites for teenagers
Websites which encourage vulnerable teenagers to kill themselves are to be blocked under plans by the Government to tackle the dozens of suicides that
have been linked to internet chatrooms.
Ministers are alarmed that pages inciting young people to take their lives – and even giving
advice on suicide methods – are too easily available online.
They are urging internet service providers (ISPs) to veto "harmful or
distasteful" suicide sites, and to provide automatic links to such organisations as the Samaritans or ChildLine when users try to find information on
suicide. ISPs already warn website managers that "offensive" material will be automatically taken down from the internet.

They were on top of the world. The company had the most popular instant messaging client, by far (in the United States), the largest dialup service,

generation, AOL was the Internet as we all signed on for the first time. Even if you didn't use their dialup service, you absolutely had to
download AOL Instant Messenger , so you could stay in contact with all of your friends. Let's face it: Cell phones were still way too expensive,
so instant messages were the text messages of that time.

Microsoft Office System. i4i sued Microsoft in March 2007 claiming that Microsoft violated its 1998 patent (No. 5,787,449) for a document system that
"eliminated the need for manually embedded formatting codes." I4i Chairman Loudon Owen said last month that he would like to see a version of Word
come out without the technology in question.

Foxconn worker commits suicide after losing iPhone prototype
Apple's a company well known for secrecy; you'll know so after having read the article we posted about it not too long ago. Though, can this
obsession with secrecy actually be harmful to a human being? Digital Beat has evidence that proves that it might well be. Sun Danyong, a 25-year-old
worker in technology giant Foxconn's product communications department, recently got into a bit of trouble after one of the iPhone prototypes he
was meant to take care of went missing. Once news of the disappearance got out, Danyong's apartment was 'illegally searched' by employees
of the company, and according to "unsubstantiated allegations" he was detained and even physically abused.

Owen said to ZDnet on Wednesday that "he is one of the hundreds of millions of people who uses Word and the other Microsoft Office tools every
day.". This should be the case seeing as the software that i4i actually offers is only an add on to Microsoft Word. "We're not seeking to stop
