Taking some vitamin supplements later in life can’t be recommended for older women because they may do more harm than good, according to a new study.

This completes the round trip for all our Canadian carriers – SaskTel has now jumped on board and will release the new iPhone 4S. No details on when or what the prices will be, but certainly good news for the carriers and Saskatchewan.

Those of us who are still playing with Google Plus are eagerly awaiting its further integration into other Google services (in ways other than the red box in the top right corner). The updates are coming slowly but surely; Google Docs is now integrated with Hangouts, Google Maps can be shared as posts, and Plus posts are starting to appear in Google Web search.
But Google Plus is built around sharing, and one of Google’s best sharing services is missing: Google Reader. It’s the free RSS reader that lets anyone subscribe to any website’s feed, and it’s behind some of the most popular RSS client apps, like Feedly. But there’s no built in way to share articles from Google Reader with your circles on Plus. Fortunately, you can make one pretty easily. Here’s how.
These are the steps to add Google Plus as a service on your Google Reader. Once you’ve set this up, all you have to do to share an article is the bit in the last step.



Name:


Now, when you go back to Google Reader and click on any article, you’ll see Google+ in the ‘Send to’ drop-down menu at the bottom.

Clicking this will open a new window to add that article as a +snippet, which you can share with any circles or individuals you choose on Google Plus. That’s it!

Not all blog posts will turn into nice +snippets, but that’s up to the site from which you’re sharing. Until Google creates some simple integration of these services, this method will have to do. Once it’s set up, though, it’s easy to share your Google Reader articles with your Plus-buddies.

After popping up at IFA, and teasing us with the whole ‘pre-sale’ thing, the Archos 101 G9 is finally ready to empty your wallet. We’ve only seen it on the company’s store so far, where the base model’s available now bearing a $370 price tag, with no sign of the 250GB variant yet. For your cash you get Android 3.2, a 1.0GHz dual core processor, and even HDMI out for those times when the 10.1 inch screen just isn’t big enough. Still not sure if the Archos slab’s for you? Try checking out our hands-on to see if this slate with the French flair is worth your hard earned cash, and head on down to the source link if the answer is oui.

If you’ve been dreaming of a world where Android apps are free to roam across your Windows desktop, you’re in luck, because BlueStacks has just turned your reverie into reality. Today, the startup unveiled an alpha version of its App Player — software that allows users to run a host of Android apps on Windows PCs, tablets or desktops, without requiring them to make modifications to their original OS. Available as a free download, this early test version comes pre-loaded with ten apps, and can support an extra 26, on top of that. BlueStacks’ free Cloud Connect app, meanwhile, allows you to port third-party apps directly from your handset to your computer, though some games, including Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, are prohibited. Those, it turns out, will be included under a paid version of the App Player, which BlueStacks hopes to launch at a later date. You can take the free software for a spin at the source link below, or meander past the break for a demo video, along with a pair of press releases.

Initially, T-Mobile’s Bobsled brand simply offered a way to VoIP call your Facebook friends for free but with that angle sufficiently covered, it has moved on to wider access. Starting today it supports dialing out to mobile and landline numbers in the US, Canada or Puerto Rico right from your desktop browser. Also new are free apps for Android and iOS devices, however those are still limited to calling your Facebook friends (and enemies.) Still not quite sure what all this newfangled internet telephone business is? Check out the video demo above and press release embedded after the break.

Halloween is right around the corner. So what better time to get together with friends, family and loved ones and publicly sh*t yourself? That’s exactly what the Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls, Canada aims to do. See, it’s a factory that produces Nightmares Fears, and as these photos will prove, business is booming. We still don’t know what it is, exactly, that is causing the following people to stop and drop and lose their effing minds out of terror, but whatever it is, we hope to never find out. Mainly because we look horrendous when terrified…
So dim the lights, light some candles, watch this video (don’t), and enjoy!

VERY NECESSARY CLOSE-UP:
(All photos found via Nightmares Fear Factory Flickr Page. Thanks for the heads up to my pal Richard Tamayo!)
UPDATE: Commenter Caged Wisdom points us to this post, which explains what it is these people are looking at:
I’ve been in the nightmare’s fear factory, it’s not bad, that’s not photo shopped, it’s a pitch dark room were suddenly a car drives at you with a loud horn stopped at the last possible second. They also have these fucking actors that will sneak up behind you and harass you in the pitch dark as you’re trying to follow this tiny red path of LED lights. You wouldn’t think it was scary but completely losing your sense of vision and then fucked up shit starts happening (thanks to the actors) it drives people to these reaction photos. No two times in there are the same.
On second thought, I would most definitely sh*t my pants if I were in these people’s… pants.
So you think you've had some rough days on the mountain biking trails? Check out the video below in which rider Evan van der Spuy of South Africa literally gets bowled over by a red hartbeest, a type of antelope, that according to the Adventure Journal, can grow to be in excess of 300 pounds and run at 40 miles per hour.
This encounter took place near Albert Falls Dam in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Fortunately, Evan came away with just a sore neck, but had to go to the hospital to be checked-out none the less. He did have his helmet broken in the encounter as well.
So what’t the wildest thing you’ve come across out on the trail? I’ve encountered a few deer on occasion, but that’s about it. They’ve mostly left me alone though, and fortunately didn’t decided that I was a mate that they wanted to chase down.
