Nokia gets offiicial with 3G 6263 for T-Mobile

We already had a pretty good indication that this one was coming thanks to our pals at the FCC, but Nokia has just now gotten official with its 3G 6263 handset which, as we previously suspected, does indeed appear to be nearly identical to the Euro-centric 6267. Getting a slight downgrade from that model, however, is the camera, which now clocks in at just 1.3 megapixels as opposed to 2. You will get the same 2.2-inch QVGA display though, as well as the same built-in Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and usual range of internet and music player features. If that'll do, you should be able to grab one of these from T-Mobile right away.

The developing field of cyberpsychology encompasses all psychological phenomena that are associated with or impacted by emerging technology. Cyber comes from the word cybernetics, the study of the operation of control and communication; psychology is the study of the mind and behavior. Cyberpsychology is the study of human mind and behavior in the context of human-technology interaction. However, mainstream research studies seem to focus on the impact of the Internet and cyberspace on the psychology of individuals and groups. Some hot topics include: online identity management, personality types in cyberspace, transference to computers, addiction to computers and Internet, regressive behavior in cyberspace, online gender-switching, etc.

While statistical and theoretical research in this field is based around Internet usage, cyberpsychology also includes the study of the psychological ramifications of cyborgs, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality amongst other things. Although some of these topics may appear to be the stuff of science fiction, they are quickly becoming science fact as evidenced by interdisciplinary approaches involving the fields of biology, engineering, and mathematics. The field of cyberpsychology remains open to refinement as well as new purposes including inquiry into the nature of current and future trends in mental illness associated with technological advances.

Online child pornography getting brutal

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY on the internet is becoming more brutal and graphic, and the number of images depicting violent abuse has risen fourfold since 2003, according to an internet watchdog report published on tuesday.

The British-based internet watch Foundation said in its annual review that it received nearly 32000 reports of potentially illegal content on its hot line last year; marking a 34 per cent increase from the previous year.

"Although there is a volume issue, the worrying issue is the severity and gravity of the images is increasing," said the foundation's chife executive, peter robbins. "We're talking about prepubescent children being raped."

The foundation identified about 10700 individual internet addressess on 3000 sites containing child pornography content.

About 80 per cent of the chilfdren in the abusive images are female, and 91 per cent appear to be children under the age of 12, it said.

more than three in five child pornography websites were hosted in the US, while nearly a third were based in Russia.

The US National Center for missing and exploited children last year completed a pilot programme in partnership with financial institutions aimed at cutting off child pornography websites' revenues.

They identified sites that accepted credit card payments, then contacted individual banks to stop the flow of money to the sites. the center also operates a child sexual abuse hotline.
