An estimated 15 percent of American teenagers have received nude or sexually suggestive photographs on their cell phones, according to a study Wednesday by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. The study about the tech-fueled trend called "sexting" said that boys are as likely as girls to send "sexts," while teens who pay for their own cell phone bills are more likely to text salacious shots.The study of 800 teens found that just 4 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds admitting to sexting photos or videos of themselves. About 8 percent of 17-year-olds sent sexts and 30 percent received them, the report found.
Teenage sexting usually is done as part of a relationship or would-be relationship between teens, the Pew focus groups found. However, those messages are often forwarded to people outside the relationship, especially after a breakup.
"It doesn't take that many people creating these images for a lot of people to see them," said Amanda Lenhart, a senior research specialist at the Pew project and author of the report.
But researchers said the study still indicates sexting, which could lead to other problems such as cyber bullying, has become part of the fabric of modern teenage life. About 75 percent of US teenagers have cell phones and 66 percent of them send text messages, Pew said.
"Kids have experience with it," said Lenhart. "It's something they have to deal with and talk about in their lives." Originally posted on this page.

Now you can check out the weather in Google Earth. The latest version projects images of rain and snow over the areas with those weather patterns as it’s actually happening!!
According to Quarup Barreirinhas, Software Engineer at Google, "This is a fun and useful tool for anyone planning to travel or who wants to check a specific area where a friend of relative might be visiting or living. For example, in preparation for my recent trip to the American southwest, I decided to check on the status of Hurricane Alex a few days in advance. Via Google Earth, I could see that the hurricane was entering Mexico and Texas. Zooming close to ground, I saw that the Texas coastline was getting a bit of rain".
You may owned multiple Google accounts for various reasons but unfortunately you can't login on them at a same time coz Google or like practically any other website out there, doesn’t provide for this feature. Sometime it can be a headache to manage the different accounts. But now looks like that Google is working on a new feature which will enable users to be logged into several accounts at a time in the same browser.
This feature will allow users to sign into different accounts in different tabs on same browser. For example, they can have two Gmail accounts opened concomitantly without one interfering with the other. The feature only works for a handful of Google sites for now, Calendar, Code, Docs, Gmail, Reader and Sites. There is a caveat for Gmail users, they won’t be able to use the offline feature if they enable multiple-account logins. Right now, you have to log out before logging in to a different account.
