But as a general sense of what's going on
by Lin Luan LIN NFL Shop According to IDC, tablet makers shipped 49.2 million units during the first quarter of 2013, for an increase of 142 percent over the same period a year ago. PC sales, meanwhile, are down to 76.3 million units shipped. At this rate, it's safe to assume tablets will overtake PCs by the end of the year.IDC's figures aren't gospel, because for the most part they aren't based on official numbers from hardware vendors. But as a general sense of what's going on, they provide us with a few interesting takeaways:

Other, more recent studies, are finding roots of criminality in other parts of the brain. As Time.com's Maia Szalavitz reported in April, a team of researchers led by Kent Kiehl, associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico, published a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in which the brains of 96 male felons sentenced to at least a year in jail for crimes including robbery, drug dealing and assault, were scanned in a functional magnetic resonance imager (fMRI). While they were in the fMRI, the men performed a task that required them to hit a key on a computer when they saw the letter X on a screen, but refrain when they saw the letter K. Since the X appeared 84% of the time and since the two letters look awfully similar to begin with, it was easy to get into the habit of over-clicking. The ability to avoid hitting the key too much calls for a measure of impulse control, a faculty processed in a region of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). The inmates who did worse on the test turned out to have lower levels of activity in the ACC; the ones who performed better had higher levels. Kiehl tracked all of the inmates for four years after their release from prison and found that those with the sleepy ACCs were also more than 4 times likelier to be re-arrested than the others. If you can't control your impulse to click, the study suggested, you might have equal difficulty controlling the impulse to run afoul of the law.

"There are more papers coming out that show how MRIs predict who reoffends," said Kiehl in a follow-up e-mail with Time. "We are examining treatments that increase activity in the anterior cingulate. The goal is to see if we can help identify the best therapies to reduce recidivism."
