Researchers: Ban on fast food TV advertising would reverse childhood obesity trends
A ban on fast-food advertisements in the United States could reduce the number of overweight children by as much as 18 percent, according to a new study co-authored by economists with the National Bureau of Economic Research. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the study also reports that eliminating the tax deductibility associated with television advertising would result in a reduction of childhood obesity, though in smaller numbers.

Researchers make new electronics -- with a twist
(Northwestern University) They've made electronics that can bend. They've made electronics that can stretch. And now, they've reached the ultimate goal -- electronics that can be subjected to any complex deformation, including twisting. Northwestern University's Yonggang Huang and the University of Illinois' John Rogers have improved their so-called "pop-up" technology to create circuits that can be twisted. Such electronics could be used in places where flat, unbending electronics would fail, like on the human body.

Carriers Want More Wireless User Data
While insight into customer behavior influences mobile operators' growth and investment strategies, mobile operators and proprietors of Internet portals say there is simply not enough existing subscriber data to analyze, according to research by Nokia Siemens Networks. The big question is what tools to use, as NebuAd's troubled year underscores.
- Despite a summer-long clamor by Congress and consumer groups over broadband providers collecting information on users' Web surfing habits, mobile operators and mobile Internet portals want more data on customers. And they not only want more data, they want it more quickly than their current syste...

Proxim's 802.11n Hits 320M BPS
WLAN provider Proxim Wireless cracks speed records with an 802.11n deployment featuring a distributed wireless architecture that Proxim claims will cost half of what competitors' WLANs cost. By eliminating the centralized controller found in most Wi-Fi networks, Proxim hopes to overcome the enterprise objections of controller upgrades, deployment issues and network planning that have deterred companies from upgrading to 802.11n.
- Proxim Wireless rolled out its 802.11n dual-radio solution Nov. 17, promising 320M bps of throughput. Proxim said its single radio version could hit maximum speeds of 170M bps. The speeds are almost seven times faster than current wireless networks. In addition to designing the industry's fastes...
