To most people, Wikipedia represents the ultimate in egalitarian encyclopedias. It's a place where any Internet user can go to add their own knowledge on virtually any subject in the world, regardless of individual expertise or background. But recent statistics show that, in spite of its intrinsic openness, Wikipedia's playing ground may not be as level as it seems -- especially when it comes ...

Ah, menstruation. That wonderfully cyclical occurrence that women always discuss with knowing nods, and that men do their best to not think about. But thanks to designer Hiromi Ozaki, formerly clueless guys can now experience the menstrual experience first hand, in all its splendor. Cheers all around. Ozaki, you see, has designed something called the 'Menstruation Machine,' which consists of a ...

Is there anything that Google doesn't know about us? As if who we e-mail, what we watch, and where we'll be wasn't enough, the search giant also knows (or can at least predict) what we want out of our significant other. Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University, posted the results of his search-engine experiment yesterday on his Web site, Predictably Irrational. Ariely, who studies behavioral ...

Pretty much anyone not named Larry Summers would agree that female engineers and computer scientists are just as capable as their male colleagues. So why do women comprise just 22-percent of all computer science graduates? And, more worrisome, why is that figure decreasing? The answer, according to one study, lies in geek culture. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis recently ...

Throw away those those frilly, lace pillowcases and those fluffy, white duvets, men. There's a change coming to the bedroom. At least, that's what manufacturers hope. The Wall Street Journal reports that companies are incorporating more man-friendly features into beds and mattresses (video after the break). But additions like built-in TVs, 'muscle recovery' mattresses, and iPod docks don't come ...

Anyone who has ever shopped with a man before (or is a man) knows that the male species' natural tendency is to find something that works, and buy it. No digging, no squabbling, no hitting the sale racks and checking behind clothes bins for fallen gems. Shopping, needless to say, does not bring out the hunting-gathering instinct in males. Instead, it's more of a what-is-in-my-face-works ...

It's no big secret that men hate shopping. The experience is a bit like the Goldilocks tale, except there is no "just right" ending. Enter the style-savvy ladies over at Oregon-based Trunk Club. According to TechCrunch, the company has created a concierge-type service for dudes who just want to sit at home, get a box of clothes delivered, and then have pretty ladies provide honest feedback. ...

Two independent studies show that Twitter is all about man-on-man action, and that teens are having a hard time embracing microblogging, respectively. Researchers over at Harvard Business surveyed 300,542 users in May, discovering that, though men and women for the most part follow the same number of tweeters, a man is twice as likely to follow another man than he is a woman. In addition, a ...

Low Sperm Count The condition: Despite repeated reassurances from the FCC to the contrary, those invisible electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by cell phones, Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices are being blamed for a whole host of health problems, including nausea, upset stomachs, tinnitus, brain fog and short-term memory loss. The most disturbing charge, however, is the link ...
