It is also the home of some of the world\'s most powerful electronics, microelectronics and computer companies. It...

There are many theories surrounding the basic need in us to continue the human race. Much of it stems from the theory of caveman \'oh, see woman, need to spread genes and dominate\'. On the female side, apparently we use ancient methods of sniffing out a \'manly aroma\' to find the one that\'s going to protect and procreate.

Now this can mean one of two things - you either go home and sort yourself out or you improvise. Or, better still, you get what you need where you need it, when you need it. But what and how?
