A UK study shows that acne helps your heart
, and kids with acne are less likey to die from coronary heart disease later on in life. I’m going to do some of that ‘reading in-between the lines’ that my high school English teacher always yapped about. Us pimple-faced geeks overclocked our CPUs, and talked about the newest video games in our spare time. While the popular kids spent their weekends drinking, smoking, and having sex with girls that wouldn’t even talk to us lowlife late bloomers. Having acne was a default prerequisite for being a geek, taped glasses and a goofy laugh were secondary. My hypothesis is simple: everyone loves the sweet taste of revenge. I’m starting an investigative study to prove that zit-faced geeks somehow contracted coronary heart disease to those who had it made in high school. Heck, if someone in the UK funded the “Acne Helps Prevent Heart Disease” research, then I’m a shoe in with “Geeks Planted Heart Disease in Popular High School Kids”.

SanDisk Sansa e130: The Micro Version of the iPod Mini
This week’s contest post is here! Leave a comment at the end of this post for a chance to win one of the new Slappa Shockshell iPod Mini cases! Tell us what you think of the review or how you’d use the SanDisk Sansa MP3 player.
Introduction
Today, we’ll be looking at the latest entry from SanDisk, a leading memory card manufacturer. SanDisk’s last MP3 player was at one point the #1 selling non-Apple player, yet had only a single digit percentage of the market share. The new Sansa is currently available in both a 512 MB version as the e130, and a 1 GB version, sold as the e140. SanDisk’s Sansa is a far better than Apple’s iPod Shuffle, as a flash mp3 player. We’ll discover what distinguishes this player from its competitors, and why it should be on your shopping list. This is not the first player we’re reviewing here at Live Digitally. You can read here about our standard methods of testing used for music players. Sandisk’s player was tested with firmware 1.0.000 as it was recently introduced only last month. Testing was undertaken with both Duracell disposable alkaline batteries and Energizer NIMH rechargeable cells.
