Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7 last week and the tech media response was, perhaps, the best example to date of how biased some tech news outlets are regarding certain brands.

However, many established technology writers seemed to report the same conflicting story: That Windows Phone 7 looked great, offered something genuinely different from what’s currently available BUT that it would fail.

The Lancet reported that in 3000 patients with stroke (78%, with ischaemic stroke; 22%, with intracerebral haemorrhagic stroke) and 3000 controls, significant risk factors for all types of stroke were: – history of hypertension (OR 2·64) – current smoking (2·09) – waist-to-hip ratio (1·65) – diet risk score (1·35) – regular physical activity (0·69) – diabetes mellitus (1·36) – alcohol intake (1·51) – psychosocial stress (1·30) – depression (1·35) – cardiac causes (2·38) – ratio of apolipoproteins B to A1 (1·89) Collectively, these risk factors accounted for 88·1% of the PAR for all strokes. When an alternate definition of hypertension was used (history of hypertension or blood pressure higher than 160/90 mm Hg), the combined PAR was 90·3% (85·3—93·7) for all stroke.
