MyQuire: Another Social Network
2007-04-12 07:28:00
Can’t get enough social networks? I know I, um can’t. Anyways, here we go. MyQuire, it’s a network where you can handle a lot of different things including tasks, scheduling, projects, even photos. Of course you’ll also immediately find the social community aspects under its skin. Friends, networks, and associates features are there. Brian made the point that MyQuire mimics 8apps a bit in the overall goal its trying to accomplish, and I agree with him. Both applications are trying to make organization, brainstorming, and task handling on the web easier.Looking deeper under the surface you’ll find everything you’re used to. You have your own homepage that you’ll be able to edit at will.

FAQ's about CTS & RSI
2007-04-11 06:05:00
What categories of people are more at risk?As a group, women are more at risk than men. There are several reasons for this. Women tend to do more of the repetitive computer tasks than men do. They also have less muscle mass than men have, and a greater percentage of women fall outside the height range considered the norm. The further you are from the standard, or "average" male that most office furniture was designed for, the more risk you have.Are there any other factors that should be considered?Yes, there are also genetic factors. As with many other injuries, some people have a genetic predisposition to getting them. Another factor is how your work at the computer is accomplished during a day. Consider two people doing the same number of keystrokes in the same amount of time at a computer. One sits down for three hours and works nonstop. The other breaks up the work into multiple sessions. The person who does all the work at one time is more at risk for CTS and RSI.How does repet...
