- “Mobile phones cause cancer…”
- “..yes, but only in rats.”
- “Actually they are completely safe” (report incidentally sponsored by mobile phone company X - whoops!)

There’s no denying how practical devices mobile phones are - many people could almost not do without them today - but I think we need to know more about the long term effects of them.

It is not difficult to understand that the mobile phone companies will fight any attempt to ruin their business, including reports that would deem their products hazardous to our health.

However, I think it is time we (as a human race) stopped worshipping the God of economical growth above all else. Things with the environment for example, are already catching up with us and unless we start making some changes we are only setting ourselves up for a nasty fall.

It comes as no surprise that watching television would do very little to give you any kind of exercise (unless you are watching an exercise tape of course), but according to some studies watching too much television may actually cause Alzheimer.

According to professors at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, people tend to be in a mentally very inactive state when they watch television - and we all know what eventually happens to any body part that is too inactive…

What is not quite as well known however, is the various kinds of radiation emitted from your trusty old television set. According to a study conducted by Eugene Sobel in 1995, there may very well be a causal relationship between these types of radiation and developing Alzheimer disease.

I am not advocating anyone to throw out their tv-set, but it would certainly be interesting to know more about this subject. Is there any difference as to the type of television, for example…

Meanwhile though, I think it is relatively safe to keep Sudokuing

The Sudoku puzzle has been the most successful launch of a new puzzle game ever, and today it can be found in daily newspapers all over the world. It also comes in many digital formats for computers, cell phones or portable gaming systems.

There are also claims that support Sudoku solving as a very healthy activity, perhaps even with the power to prevent and/or slow down conditions such as Alzheimers disease. At the very least it is very good for stimulating logical thinking.

The long and the short of it is that Sudoku puzzles are a great and inexpensive form of educational entertainment for young and old alike - especially in our day an age of lazily watching tv in a state of mental standstill.

The rules of the game are very simple, but many people still give up before they fully get into “the groove” of solving Sudokus. Thus never getting any of the benefits from actually solving these puzzles.

Sudoku Hint’s new guide is an ideal place to start, covering both the basics of the game as well as more advanced strategies.

Most importantly however, this guide takes the reader by the hand and guides him or her from their first wavering steps of Sudoku solving towards complete understanding of the more advanced aspects of the game. So that, at the end of the book, the reader can try to tackle a full Sudoku puzzle of “diabolical” difficulty level.

The guide is illustrated with many puzzle examples, as well as a set of puzzles to be solved by the reader.

Sudoku Hint’s Sudoku Guide is a great choice for anyone interested in learning more about the game, and would be an ideal Christmas present for someone who would appreciate a challenging surprise.

The Sudoku Guide is available for immediate purchase and download at:

Now is a good time to purchase this 60 page guide to Sudoku, since it is available at a 25% discount until the last of Novemeber.

Playing Sudoku can be a frustrating experience (to say the least) when you first start out. You just have to keep telling yourself that no one can be a master at anything they have only tried their hands on a few times only.

Once you get the hang of it you will be surprised how “easily” you are able to solve even rather difficult puzzles. Although I am not sure if it has been proven sientifically or not, I am willing to claim that regular Sudoku solving has a way of becoming part of your life - sort of like they say martial arts is a way of life.

The life of a Sudoku solver can thus, theoretically at least, be enhanced on the logical level by the very affordable and rewarding hobby of playing Sudoku.

Well, luckily for you:

1) Getting started with playing Sudoku isn’t all that difficult and

Well, not nessecarily.

In fact, a Sudoku solving piece of software can be used in order to enhance your Sudoku skills. But only if it is used in the right manner. The sudoku solving feature is offered on some websites and in certain downloadable applications for your PC.

On the web alone there should be enough puzzles to keep you playing every day for a lifetime. And then there are also various shareware games you can download and play on your computer as well as commercial and free games for handheld gaming devices such as the Sony PSP.

Although finding a lot of Sudoku is as easy as falling of a log, I have still dedicated a section of the site to this topic. When I find a good source for Sudoku puzzles, wether on- or offline, I will add it to the page where to find Sudoku puzzles.

If you have some suggestion that would fit into this category, let me know and I’ll have a look.

Although this clip from mobuzztv begins by being a little mean with Sylvester Stallone, after about a minute, there is an interesting piece of news about the first national Sudoku championship held in the UK - the women absolutely kicked the mens but in this sudoku competition.

Well, there you go!

Although the men clearly outnumbered the women in this sudoku competition, an 18 year old woman ended up victorious, not to mention the fact the amount of women outnumbered the men in the finals. Hmm, maybe this has something to do with the aledged better multi-tasking capability of women…

The notes about Sudoku not being math, but that math and logic are basically the same or at least very similar, where also rather interesting.

As far as women being logical or Stallone making another Rocky - I’ll keep my opinions to myself
