iPhone 6 front panel image leaked

Internet rumour mill is once again buzzing with leaks about Apple's next-generation iPhone.

A Chinese forum has leaked a couple of images of what it claims is the front panel of the upcoming iPhone 6. The images show that the upcoming model will have an edge-to-edge screen that is bigger in size than that of iPhone 5S, 5C and 5, with no bezels at all on the sides. The alleged images of the next-generation iPhone also show the Home button positioned closer to the display.
It has been reported several times in the past that Apple will unveil two iPhones this year, one with a 4.7-inch screen and other with 5.5- or 5.7-inch display. The front panel pictured in the leaked image seems to be of the 4.7-inch iPhone.

In February this year, the first set of leaked iPhone images surfaced on the internet. These images showed that the next-generation iPhone will sport a design similar to that of iPad Air and be much thinner than the iPhone 5S.

This will be the first time that the company will venture into the phablet territory, which is dominated by arch rival Samsung. Other rumoured features of the next-generation iPhone include health-centred apps, 13MP camera, solar charging, scratch-resistant sapphire screen and faster Wi-Fi.

Apple is also expected to broaden the functions to the Touch ID fingerprint sensor with the next iPhone.

Sex positions that women love

1. The cowgirl: Let her take charge in this girl-on-top position. It lets her be on top of things while you enjoy the ride, making it a win-win position. Another advantage is that when the woman is in control, she can decide how she wants to reach orgasm.

Tip: For a sureshot clitoral orgasm, ask your woman to lean forward while arching her back and leaning on her hands. Instead of going up and down, she can move laterally so that you hit the right spots and stimulate her in the sensitive areas. Show her some love by sitting up straight and hugging her.

2. Countertop sitting: You've had a brilliant Valentine's Day cookout and can't wait to go to the bedroom get at each other. Make good use of the kitchen counter by lifting her up onto it. Ask her to take on the spread eagle position with you facing her. This position provides maximum G-Spot stimulation and arouses both partners. Since you are taking the lovemaking out of the bedroom, it's also quite spontaneous. However, it's a tricky one since guys tend to ejaculate prematurely.

3. Missionary position: Predictable though it is, the missionary (man on top) position is a classic hit with 
women since it's pleasurable and also harbours closeness. It allows you to kiss, touch and gaze into each other's eyes while your body gets the loving treatment.

Tip: The slant of your entry makes all the difference. Swivel your hips for a happy twist.

4. Sideways: Sideways positions — spooning and side by side —are good news for men who suffer from premature ejaculation since there are fewer chances of losing an erection. Although it limits the movement of both partners, it gives leeway for more snogging. You can caress your woman and the constant contact with your body will soothe her while you whisper sweet nothings into her ear.

Google wanted to buy WhatsApp for even more than $19 billion

Internet search titan Google reportedly went all out to thwart Facebook's acquisition of mobile messaging app WhatsApp. According to a report by TheInformation, Google CEO Larry Page went to meet WhatsApp chief Jan Koum last week in a desperate bid to prevent the deal from materializing.

The report cites three sources claiming that Page reached out to Koum upon hearing of Zuckerberg's offer of giving him a seat on the board of directors of 
Facebook as part of the acquisition deal. One of the sources says that Page told Koum, "Stay independent as you've always planned. You're a big threat to Facebook. And joining Facebook would have a major impact on how things play out for years to come."

It goes on to say that Google was ready to outbid Facebook's $19 billion offer, but Koum reportedly felt that Facebook would give it more independence and the two share the view of bringing people closer.

One of the sources says that Google itself was not too happy about paying such a huge sum for the messaging app but was willing nevertheless in order to keep
it out of Facebook's hands.

This is not the first time Google has approached WhatsApp. Before WhatsApp agreed for Facebook's $19 billion deal, speculation was rife that Google also tried its luck at acquiring the popular messaging service.

A report by Fortune cites two separate sources to claim that Google offered to purchase WhatsApp for $10 billion, though it's unclear exactly when the search giant attempted to arrange a deal. The report stated that the bid came without a promise of a Google board seat, unlike Facebook's agreement.

Another report by The Information cites three unnamed sources as saying that Google was even willing to top Facebook's $19 billion offer. Google CEO Larry Page also assured WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum that Google will allow the messaging startup to operate independently and compete with Facebook. However, WhatsApp founders rebuffed the offer as they reportedly felt the company was able to identify more with Facebook's philosophy.

It also mentions that Google had made an offer to WhatsApp wherein it would get the right to be notified in case WhatsApp entered acquisition talks, in exchange for a sum amounting to millions of dollars. WhatsApp did not accept the offer made a few months ago.

Following the deal with Facebook, Koum would take a place at Facebook's board and has assured that "nothing" would change for users immediately as Facebook plans to run WhatsApp independently, much like Instagram.

Get rid of wrinkles and ageing with these food

When it comes to beauty, Indian consumers are more conscious than ever

Ageing, dark spots, 
wrinkles, and fine lines... these are the last things that a person would like to see on his or her skin.

No wonder, both men and 
women are willing to shell out a lumpsum to look good and are going all natural in the process. According to experts, the secret lies in the plate and that's precisely why what you eat matters the most.

Food experts recommend people to opt for natural products to maintain a youthful look in a healthy way. And when it comes to these natural products, there are umpteen varieties to choose from.

We give you a list of products that one could choose from to delay the
ageing process and to maintain that youthful look.

Leafy greens: Like eggs, leafy greens such as spinach, kale, turnip greens, and romaine lettuce, are great sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. Studies have shown eating 
foods rich in these antioxidants can significantly reduce risk of AMD (age-related macular degeneration), as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Spinach has a very high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score. It is a measurement of a food's ability to destroy the free radicals that cause damage in your body. The higher the ORAC score, the better a food is for you.

Blueberries: These tiny berries are powerhouses of nutrition. They are loaded with antioxidants, which stops premature ageing and help prevent cancer. Wild blueberries also boost your health. A study suggests that anthocyanins in blueberries appear to combat oxidative 
stress, which is one of the main causes of ageing.

Yellow and orange root vegetables: Put plenty of beta-carotene on your plate. These super-antioxidants are good for your skin and eyes. Good choices include carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squash.

Broccoli: Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that is found in broccoli, along with other foods including cranberries, onions, and apples. It is a natural anti-inflammatory agent as well, fighting the number two cause of aging. Broccoli sprouts have 30 times more isothiocyanates (yet another antioxidant) than regular broccoli.

Raw, organic eggs: A single egg contains, nine essential amino acids. It's rich in proteins and has naturally occurring Vitamin D. Consuming your 
eggs raw is the best thing to do as cooking destroys some of the highly perishable nutrients.

Aloe vera: Aloe vera's anti-ageing properties have been known for ages. Scientific evidence suggests that 
Aloe Vera juice can heal skin and reverse skin ageing. Skin ages because of UV light damage and loss of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps in keeping the skin firm and elastic. Ageing breaks down the collagen matrix in your skin which leads to wrinkles. Drinking aloe vera juice is known to reduce the wrinkle depth and improve skin elasticity due to increased collagen production.

Garlic: Allium is an antioxidant that packs a punch. 
Garlic, onions, and scallions are loaded with this free-radical fighter that is good for your skin and your immune system

Porn not an addiction, more of a pleasure giver

There is no such thing as porn addiction and those who say it actually ignore the positive benefits it holds, shows research. 

New study has found very little scientific data - if any at all - to support some of the purported negative side effects of porn 'addiction'. 

"There was no sign that use of pornography is connected to erectile dysfunction or that it causes any changes to the brains of users," explained
David Ley, a clinical psychologist and executive director of  New Mexico Solutions - a large behavioural health programme. 

Despite the furore, the use of sexually explicit material explains very little of the variance in adolescents' behaviours, he added. 

Slapping such labels onto the habit of frequently viewing images of a sexual nature only describes it as a form of pathology. 

According to researchers, it can improve attitudes towards sexuality, increase the quality of life and variety of sexual behaviours and increase pleasure in long-term relationships. 

"It provides a legal outlet for illegal sexual behaviours or desires, and its consumption or availability has been associated with a decrease in sex offenses, especially child molestation," observed Ley. 

"We need better methods to help people who struggle with the high frequency use of visual sexual stimuli, without pathologising them or their use thereof," wrote Ley. 

"The 'porn addiction' concept seems to feed an industry with secondary gain from the acceptance of the idea," he noted in a study published in Springer's journal Current Sexual Health Reports.
