Ever find yourself wishing you had more storage on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad? Kingston feels your pain and has released their new Wi-Drive USb 2.0 portable hard drives with 802.11g/n wi-fi allowing up to three Apple devices to wirelessly connect at the same time. WPA/WEP security means you can lock down access to the files on your Wi-Drive and according to Kingston the internal battery will run for approximately four hours of continuous use. Configurable access point name (APN) means you can set the network name of the drive to whatever you want and a dedicated app is available to download from Apple’s App Store. Theoretically, with an Apple TV, an iPod Touch, and one of these Wi-Drives you should be able to wirelessly stream HD content from the drive to your HD television using AirPlay. We may need to pick up a Kingston Wi-Drive to test this theory! Comes in 16GB and 32GB flavors.

Mental Health Disorders Prevalent Among Youth Worldwide
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) published in Lancet, mental health disorders account for nearly half of the disease burden in the world’s adolescents and young adults. Young people aged 10 to 24 years equal 27% of the world’s population. This age group is important in public health interventions because health problems and risk factors for future disease often appear in these years. This new WHO report provides a comprehensive assessment of the global burden of disease and risk factors that contribute to worldwide morbidity and mortality. The authors used previously-collected data from the WHO’s Global Burden of Disease Study and evaluated global and regional risk factors and disease prevalence.
Overall, mental health disorders were the most prevalent source of disability for young people worldwide, accounting for 45% of total morbidity. Disorders included major depression, substance abuse, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The next most prevalent causes of disability were injuries (12%) and infectious and parasitic diseases (10%).
In the United States, the prevalence of mental health disorders among adolescents and young adults is substantially lower than what was reported in this study. Approximately one-third of young people in the US meet the criteria for at least one mental health disorder, with anxiety being the most common condition. Comorbidity among mental health disorders is high, and four out of ten young people with one mental health disorder meet the criteria for an additional disorder. Overall, more than one in five young people experience severe impairment or stress due to mental health disorders.
As supported by the US-based studies and WHO data, the prevalence of mental health disorders varies across gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. While data is limited regarding treatment of mental health disorders worldwide, in the US, only half of the young people who need care actually receive it.
Mental disorders that are prevalent in later life can appear during adolescence or young adulthood, and some can appear in early childhood years. This highlights the need for the recognition of the consequences and significance of childhood mental health disorders. Not only does a childhood mental health disorder increase the risk for an adult mental health disorder, it also increases the prevalence of risky health behaviors and other chronic diseases, all of which contribute to morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Worldwide, the health — especially mental health — of young people has been largely neglected until now, since this group is considered to be the healthiest of all. But, this group would likely benefit from increased prevention and early intervention efforts for mental health disorders.

Motorola create a tablet with high resolution and android 4.0
Motorola is working on a tablet worthy to compete with the iPad 3, and to make some major changes proposed for the design, the future product is keeping little resemblance to the current Xoom tablet.
First, Motorola decided to give up the screen of 16:9 in favor of the Apple series iPad-like of tablets with 4:3. The next step is crowding of the screen diagonal of 10 inches with not less than 3.14 million pixels, 2048 x 1536 resolution. It seems that the name of the future tablet is not Xoom 2s, already caught in some images, but rather we are dealing with a completely new product.
From the terms of the characteristics of the screen, the two tablets may be on an equal footing when it comes to software complicates things. Apple iPad 3 will use the iOS 5 operating system, which we know already that brings more news from the current iOS 4. Motorola has available the Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich as is known.
Ice Cream Sandwich is the first unified version of the Android, an operating system adapted to work equally well on tablets and Smartphone’s. Full compatibility with applications from Android Market is just one of the advantages of Honeycomb Android.
Adoption of the 4:3 format, instead of 16:9, can say that Motorola pay more attention to the practicality of a tablet, by choosing a less suitable screen for watching movies, but allows us to use more efficiently the space work.
