Urban noise may disrupt songbirds' sex lives

Male songbirds that sing in a low, "sexy" voice are most likely to snag mates, but noisy human environments are cramping their style, forcing some species to sing shrilly to pierce the auditory urban blight. Now, Dutch scientists have shown that male great tits can overcome this dilemma by pulling out their Barry White impressions at just the right moment.

Previous research had already established that lower-frequency mating songs were perceived to be sexier. In many creatures -- including, perhaps, humans -- a deep voice correlates with size, fitness and overall masculinity.

Do you sleep cradling the phone? Sneak peeks at Twitter during meetings? Shudder at going without Internet? You're not alone.

Anecdotally, our Internet use seems to have spawned real addictions. And, according to several recently released surveys, we've got it bad.

More than half of Americans would rather give up alcohol, caffeine and chocolate for a week before parting temporarily with their cellphones, according to a recent survey by technology firm TeleNav Inc.

One-third would give up sex; 22 percent would give up their toothbrushes (versus 40 percent of iPhone users, who evidently love their phone more than clean teeth); and 21 percent would rather go shoeless before separating from a mobile phone. Sixty-six percent sleep with their smartphones by their side.
