Steve Jobs's Apple resignation letter in full

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know.

Want a tan without using sunbeds

Scientists have developed a tiny implant that be placed under the skin to give a three-month tan without using sunbeds, it emerged today. The capsule is no bigger than a grain of rice but it is implanted under the skin and stimulates the production of melanin. 

The naturally occurring pigment controls the colour of the skin and how much UV radiation is absorbed. By releasing the chemical, the skin would become darker and could resemble a healthy bronzed tan. Although the implant was initially developed by medics in order to alleviate skin conditions, experts believe it could be taken up by the beauty industry.
