Believe it or not — Mens who post lots of selfies are more likely to be psychopaths
Well, Believe it or not — But, science has confirmed that men who take lots of selfies are a bit… different. They are more likely to be psychopaths
Men who use Instagram-style filters to add that certain ‘je ne said quoi’ to their snaps are the most extreme.
The study at Ohio State University found that men who post endless selfies were more likely to have certain, ah, unwanted mental traits, such as psychopathic behaviour.
People who used filters to edit shots scored even higher for anti-social behaviour such as narcissism, an obsession with one’s own appearance.
What this suggests about the mental health of many of our favourite celebrities, we can only speculate.
Psychologists from the University of Ohio sampled 800 men aged 18 to 40 about their photo-posting habits on social media.
As well as questionnaires to test their levels of vanity, they were also asked if they edited their photos by cropping them or adding a filter.
Assistant Professor Jesse Fox, lead author of the study at The Ohio State University, said: ‘It’s not surprising that men who post a lot of selfies and spend more time editing them are more narcissistic, but this is the first time it has actually been confirmed in a study.
‘The more interesting finding is that they also score higher on this other anti-social personality trait, psychopathy, and are more prone to self-objectification.
‘Most people don’t think that men even do that sort of thing, but they definitely do.’
Professor Fox said: ‘Psychopathy is characterised by impulsivity.
‘They are going to snap the photos and put them online right away. They want to see themselves. They don’t want to spend time editing.’

Its not confirmed to whom that tweet is directed to and no ones knows who is targeted.
It might be Diamond Platnumz as they are now not in a good relationship as it seems like Davido is not happy about Diamonds success and he was not recognized as part of the people who made diamond famous by making my number one remix with him.
"Niggas forget who helped them ..... So quick .... " Does he refering to someone else..? May be yes or no
Huessein Idd, an Information technology graduate selling electronics online with Kaymu
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, January 5th 2015 - He goes by the name of Hussein Idd, an Information technology graduate at Learn IT. His passion for IT did not end at university level; it went all the way to opening a business in the year 2010: Jay's Infonet Solutions, where he sells electronics and accessories such as laptops, cell-phones, hard drives, flash disks, etc.
Today, Hussein sells his electronics and other accessories through Kaymu, a company he feels that can help other people like himself.
“I decided to do business online first with the influence of Kaymu, after brainstorming with my closest friends I felt there was a need to also serve people who weren't able to shop physically - either they are too busy or they simply enjoy buying online with the items being delivered to their home without the trouble to come all the way to the shop, so the only way to do this was to sell online.”
Hussein explains how selling online can save time and money, and how it can help buyers and sellers in a very positive way, and offer safe and convenient payment solutions.
“Kaymu helped me move to a different level in terms of business growth, and it’s given me the chance to do that without a lot of effort or investment,” Hussein continues. “You should just put thought into what you want to sell on Kaymu - especially fast moving products that people use on a daily basis, that’s really important but I’m convinced that if you have the right product, selling on Kaymu can work wonders for your business.”
He describes his first meeting with Kaymu where a company representative came to his office and explained how the platform worked." I was actually surprised when they first started talking about Kaymu because I never thought any company in Tanzania could offer this kind of platform." He continues, "I did not hesitate joining because I fully understood what kind of impact it could bring to my business."
With internet access becoming more affordable and faster, e-commerce in Tanzania has grown dramatically over the past two years.
"It has been very positive since I established myself and it proved to be successful as my sales increased and I became well known in this platform . It's an interesting adventure I'm taking and really looking forward to bringing in variety of other electronics and services in the near future."
He describes e-commerce as Tanzania's future of which he is proud to be part of. He says " I'm happy to be one of the few in the country who will proudly lead the line towards bridging the digital divide in Tanzania", as the economy continues to grow technology grows as well, the dependence rate on traditional retail will eventually drop immensely.
He concludes by explaining how he forecasts his business will eventually be in the next 5 years. He feels that with the help of using the Kaymu platform his business will dramatically grow, "I see my business going to new heights, this industry is on the rise and I want my shop to be one of the best that's ever been in this marketplace.”

Apple to release iPhone 6s mini this year
After the release of iPhone 6, which is a larger phone in order to compete with Samsung, HTC, Sony, Techno and other brands who were rising in the market because of their larger phones. Now Apple claimed a smaller phone was preferable because users could reach the whole screen during one-handed use.
More and more reports claim that Apple will not simply abandon smaller iPhones now that it’s launched the bigger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which have both been massive successes for the company. Instead of simply keeping the “old” iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s as part of its iPhone lineup, the company is expected to launch a brand new 4-inch iPhone part of the iPhone 6 (or iPhone 6s) family later this year.
The most recent such report comes from U.S. investment firm Zacks Equity Research, according to MyDrivers, which says that Apple is being “forced” by continued interest in smaller iPhones to launch a new 4-inch iPhone 6 handset for 2015.
The company reportedly wants to sell at least 10 million iPhone 6s minis this year and the smaller device is expected to be significantly cheaper than the regular iPhone 6 models.
Its believed that Apple is going to launch a 4-inch iPhone 6s mini in 2015, alongside corresponding 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6s models.
Whats your opinion on this is it a good move or huge no-brainer for Apple
