Facebook Inc(NASDAQ:FB) may decrease one’s willpower and entice him or her into extreme eating or spending, a latest consumer survey shows.
The combined study by Keith Wilcox of Columbia University and Andrew T. Stephen of Pittsburgh University showed that using online social networks can have a constructive effect on self-worth and well-being. On the other hand, these amplified feelings of self-esteem can have a harmful effect on behavior.
Facebook, the biggest social networking website, has more than one billion active clients. A lot of studies have concluded that Facebook usage lowers self-control for users who concentrate on close friends at the time of browsing their social network, the Journal of Consumer Research states.[article_detail_ad_1]
Particularly, such users are more expected to choose an unhealthful snack later than browsing Facebook because ofimproved self-esteem, as stated by a Columbia and Pittsburgh statement.
Greater Facebook use was associated with a greater body-mass index, augmented binge eating, a lesser credit score, and greater levels of credit card debt for clients with many close friends in their social network.
The other tech giants facing challenge is Intel Corporation(NASDAQ:INTC). Released back in 1985, the admiredIntel’si386 processor has served numerous PC users around the world long and well, but freshly the developers of the Linux kernel made a decision to drop support for it.
Developer Ingo Molnar when submitting the change on Tuesday stated that this tree removes very-old-386-CPUs support and thus zaps quite a bit of difficulty.That complexity has representedadditional work for kernel developers for years, Molnar further stated.
Although removing 386 support will make life simpler, it as well means that starting with Linux 3.8, ancient hardware will no longer be able to executefresh versions of Linux.
Molnar further stated that unluckily there’s a nostalgic price: your old original 386 DX33 system from the year 1991 won’t be able to boot modern Linux kernels further.
