Having smelly and damp armpits are something that most people do find troublesome, which explains the deodorant business which is absolutely booming. For those who tend to sweat around the ‘pits easily, here is a new procedure known as miraDry which intends to keep your armpit’s sweat glands nice and quiet using of all things, a dose of microwave energy. Just how does the work? It will zap your armpits with microwave energy, where it is touted to kill off anywhere from 22,000 to 30,000 sweat glands in the area of concentration, hence reducing the amount of sweating by an average of 82%.

I guess you can more or less say that with the introduction of more and more powerful smartphones arriving in the mass market, the need for a dedicated portable media player has diminished – especially when the visual real estate of such smartphones end up larger than ever before – 4″ and above. Well, if you happen to have a soft spot for a dedicated portable media player, you might be interested to hear that Cowon’s X9 is now available and ready to ship, where it will come in either black or white shades.

The Cowon X9 will measure 72.5mm x 114.9mm and tips the scales at 159 grams, while sporting a 4.3-inch touchscreen display. In terms of storage space, you will be able to choose from 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of internal flash memory, which can be further augmented thanks to the inclusion of a microSD memory card slot. Cowon touts that their X9 is capable of delivering up to 110 hours of continuous music playback, which is definitely a boon to any long distance traveler, not to mention up to 13 hours of video playback. In order to juice it up, it takes just 4.5 hours over an AC adapter, although you can take the USB route which requires half a dozen hours instead. Depending on the capacity, price starts from $229.99 onwards.

Let’s face it; divorce attorneys don’t enjoy a great reputation. I have always thought this to be more than a bit unfair, because we do care about our clients and their well-being. We never see clients at their best; in fact, we usually see them at rock bottom as we try to help them through one of the worst experiences of their lives.

But what happens when the client finally turns the key in the lock, after the final papers have been signed, and is home alone? There is no one to speak to, no one with whom to exchange the briefest “hello”. There is no one to go out with. Even the arguments, however unpleasant, were a form of social contact. Now it’s all ended.

How long does it really take to get over a divorce? The process is far from straightforward, and many can struggle with emotional turmoil during the process and for years to come. Over the past three decades in legal practice, I’ve seen the reactions of hundreds of people and spotted many patterns of behavior.

The latest addition to Cowon’s line of portable media players is reaching consumers’ hands in the good, old US of A as shipping is now underway for the X9. The PMP — which comes in either black or white — measures 72.5mm wide, 114.9mm tall and weighs in at 159 grams. It also features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, your choice of either 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of internal flash memory, as well as a MicroSD slot. Although good sound quality is typically Cowon’s calling card, the X9 also serves up a healthy helping of battery life with the company claiming up to 110 hours of music playback. Operating time when watching video is said to be up to 13 hours while charging time takes 4.5 hours via AC adapter and 6 hours when juicing through a USB connection. Supported file formats include MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, WAV, XviD, WMV and ASF. Unlike the Plenue Z2 and the D3, the X9 opts out of using the Android OS — which is either good or bad depending on one’s preferences. Its 480 x 272 resolution is also decidedly lower than, say, the 800 x 480 seen in the Z2’s 3.7-inch screen. As for cost, folks interested in getting the X9 will have to lighten their wallets to the tune of $229.99. For more details, check out the Cowon site via the link below.

The Sony Xperia SL which has been spotted in three different colors already (the customary pink and silver included, of course) as well as confirmed in a benchmark test to carry a 1.7GHz dual-core processor has finally been seen online, on its official page no less. Here is the skinny on the Sony Xperia SL, where the entire device tips the scales at 144 grams, measuring 5″ x 2.5″ x 0.4″, in addition to a 4.3″ touchscreen TFT display that boasts of scratch resistant qualities at 1,280 x 720 pixels, a 12.1-megapixel camera with auto focus coupled with 16x digital zoom and LED flash, not to mention having Google’s Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system run right out of the box. You have four colors to choose from – black, white, pink or silver. The thing is, we would very much like to know more about its availability and pricing details, but unfortunately, those do seem to be lacking, even on Sony Mobile’s site. I guess patience will be able to help us answer more of our questions this time around.
