Making a Better Decision in your Life is something that each & every one of us comes across in our daily lives. Starting right from when we wake up in the morning and take a look at the time on the alarm clock, is when we start making our day’s first decision like, Should I get out of the bed now? Will I be late for class or work if I sleep a little longer? Even the simplest decision that we make is what takes our life to a different path, with each decision we take in every moment of our life. Right from getting out bed in the morning to going back to sleep at night our life are based on our decisions. And in the end, making the right decision is what we need. But how do you know whether you are making a Right or Wrong decision at the right time? Making a right or wrong decision once a while helps us to build a self-confidence when we need to make another decision later. Mistake is What Makes You Better – Learn from Your Mistakes Don’t let the mista...

Apple's decision to challenge a federal court order to help the FBI "hack" into a shooting suspect's iPhone 5C is drawing into focus a battle which has been brewing for the past several years. The way this debate has been shaped thus far is, as follows: which do we value more, privacy or security? But this argument is overly simplistic, and it also overlooks a key question. Do we actually have a right to digital privacy in the first place? Personally, I think we should, but that does not mean that we actually do. The "right to privacy" is a bedrock concept in U.S. society and a guiding principle in our legal system. But if you look for it in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights, you won't find it. That's because privacy rights aren't as clear-cut as many Americans generally think they are. Even in the most privileged and private areas of our lives -- our homes, our cars, our bodies -- we do not enjoy an unlimi...

NEW YORK -- A court filing unsealed in a Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday revealed that the federal government wants to compel Apple to help it crack more than just the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino terrorists. The filing -- a letter by an Apple lawyer in an unrelated New York drug case -- noted that federal judges across the country have ordered the tech giant to help the federal government unlock as many as 15 iPhones and other Apple devices in a number of ongoing investigations. "Apple has not agreed to perform any services on the devices to which those requests are directed," attorney Marc Zwillinger concludes in a letter dated Feb. 17 . According to the missive, government lawyers have sought and received favorable court orders -- all issued under the controversial All Writs Act  -- for devices being investigated in New York, California, Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts. The probes involve various iPhone models and at least on...

What is schizophrenia? "Before I started to get ill, I most likely thought the same as the popular understanding of schizophrenia: that it is a multiple personality disorder with violent tendencies, something that you would see in the news about murderers. So, once you receive that diagnosis, you start to feel like the popular opinion is against you." (The Secret Schizophrenic) The first time I experienced stigma was at university Schizophrenia is a mental illness that occurs when the parts of the brain that are responsible for emotion and sensation stop working properly. As a result, an individual might stop living their normal life; they might withdraw from people, feel confused, lose interest in things and be prone to angry outbursts. Schizophrenia symptoms can include slower thinking, talking and movement, jumbled thoughts, emotional flatness or a lack of thought processes, reduced motivation, changes in sleeping patterns and body language, and an in...
