Expecting mothers will be able to get health updates through their cell phones, says Hillary Clinton. This will be possible through an initiative known as the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA).

The U.S. Secretary of State says, messages on cell phones will serve as an efficient and effective way to distribute important information to expecting mothers about proper care for themselves and their young ones. Cell phones, says Clinton, will become instrumental in informing expecting mothers of potential health hazards and warning signs and help them find local and appropriate healthcare facilities. The messages on cell phones will also emphasize on breast feeding practices and educate expecting mothers on the advantages of family planning.

MAMA is a joint effort of the USAID and Johnson & Johnson. The U.N. Foundation, mHealth Alliance, BabyCenter LLC are supporting it. Over the next three years, MAMA will reach Bangladesh, India and South Africa. The lessons learned here will be disseminated globally in collaboration with similar initiatives.

The CEO of Valve Gabe Newell revealed his Steam login and password in front of a packed audience at GDC 2011, and dared everyone to try and gain access to his account. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, but the fact is that no one was able to get into his account.

The dare was a great way for Newell to demonstrate the identity protection power of Steam Guard technology. Now this technology has gone live, and is available to offer the same level of protection for every user of Steam around the world. Steam Guard is a method of protection that allows users to link their account with a specific PC. If someone tries to log in from a different computer, an email notification will be sent to the account holder requesting their approval. A special access code will be provided in the email that will need to be supplied at login.
