Dawn of the X-Men? MUTANTS swarm AMONG US, say geneticists

I could be a mutant!

I seem to be able to do things that (most) other people can't. For example I can increase/decrease my heart rate and blood pressure at will. I can regulate my own temperature and I have an above average lung capacity.

Brits turned off by Smart TVs

It's overkill for most tech people

I recently bought a new Sony TV which had iPlayer and YouTube, LoveFilm etc... built in, it's a great feature with a nice interface but here is the think. I'm a techie, I'm the sort of person who - in theory - should get the most use out of a smart TV but because I'm a techie I already own an Xbox capable of most (if not all after the recent update) of the features my TV can do, if that were not enough I also have a media centre PC attached to it with XBMC installed which can do all that and a hell of a lot more besides.

I doubt the non-techie folk like my Mum and Dad for example would get any use out of those features or even find out that they were there in the first place!

Aussie convicted over Simpsons sex pics

FAR too far

Ok this is getting ludicrous, this NANNY state world we now live in has been designed to protect PEOPLE, most children.

Yes ok whilst I agree that having a cartoon of two children having sex is disgustic, the fact is, THEY ARE NOT REAL!!! No one is actually being harmed here and therefore no one is being protected by this conviction.

This does not even mean he gets aroused by this material as a quick search for simpsons porn (which I'm sure many people have done in the past) in google images with safe search off will yeld at least one or two images of the kids screwing around, whats more due to the nature of the internet, if you have done that search on your current computer and have seen those thumbnails. YOU TOO have 'child porn' on your PC as it will remain in your cache for a considerable amount of time.
