  1. Re:Please Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is! on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    I would consider buying the N9, pending a closer examination. Unfortunately the Nokia website does not list the UK as a country where it will be available in the foreseeable future.

  2. Prozac affects some people too on Merck's Drug Propecia Linked To Sexual Dysfunction · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who was prescribed Prozac five years ago and was told by the psychiatrist that he may experience temporary loss of libido. My friend took the medication for a couple of months and decided that the feeling of apathy that the drug produces was worse than his depression and stopped the course. After a few weeks my friends libido had not returned to normal and my friend put this down to the depression. This condition persisted and my friend started reading on the internet that other people had experienced similar problems. My friend went through an agonising period deciding whether to go to the press with this information, providing his full name. The hurdle faced by anyone in this position is that people tend not to take users of anti-depressants seriously. It is easy to put someone who has taken mind altering drugs down as a nutter. The psychiatrist denied any knowledge of similar cases and it looks as if this affects a small percentage of users. My friend has improved slightly. This may be due to ageing, but I would urge anyone who does not really need to take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to stay away.
