Apple addicts camp out for Sydney store opening
Call me an old fogey, but I just don't get the concept of queuing for a store opening. Apple is tonight opening it's first store in the southern hemisphere, in Sydney - my hometown. While it is an impressive building, and all it contains is awesome in terms of technological beauty and usability, queuing overnight to be the first in just doesn't make sense to me.
The first 2500 customers through the door receive a gift - not an iPod, a Macbook, or anything remotely electronic, in fact, but a t-shirt. Woooowwww!!!
Sorry, don't get. I'll wait till the crowds die down, and then pay a visit. The shop isn't likely to be moving anywhere soon. Call me an old fogey, but I just don't get the concept of queuing for a store opening. Apple is tonight opening it's first store in th... more -

Spanish kids treated for mobile phone addiction
That's right, two Spanish kids have been admitted to a mental health clinic by their parents because they can't carry out normal activities without their handsets.
The kids, ages 12 and 13, were reportedly doing badly at school as well as lying to their relatives to fund their phone addiction.
A Spanish addiction expert spoke on the matter saying that these cases could be the "tip of the iceberg", and that mobile phone addiction "could definitely be a danger in the future".

WTF!? Internet addiction nominated for entry in the manual of mental disorders?
First, we all had mild Asperger's. Now, Internet addiction disorder? Give a geek a break. In the March issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry, Jerald Block proposed that Web abuse be added to his field's bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Block cites research from South Korea, where, he says, the affliction is considered a serious public health problem, and the government estimates that 168,000 children may require psychotropic medications. In China, the Beijing Military Region Central Hospital puts the number of teenage pathological computer users at 10 million.
Like other addicts, users reportedly experience cravings (for better software, faster machines), withdrawal (logging off may cause irritability), a loss of sense of time (wee-hour fixes), and negative social repercussions (it's so much easier to date an avatar). Sound familiar? Your friend the World Wide Web may be a monkey on your back. Or not. Just ask yourself this: If Google were a drug, would I smoke it? First, we all had mild Asperger's. Now, Internet addiction disorder? Give a geek a break. In the March issue of the American Journal o... more -

Booze for the broke: Top 5 world's worst ways to get wasted
Apparently being broke doesn't stop some people from whipping up the nastiest concoctions to feed their need to be intoxicated.

Check out this list from Cracked.com.

Drink up girls! You're addicted!
You probably started drinking before your mom, or at the very least your grandmother. On average, women born before 1944 started drinking at age 20, while those born after that started drinking at age 17.
Unfortunately, it’s not all champagne dreams and beergoggles. A new Washington University study is showing women born after 1944 have a greater risk for alcohol dependence than those born before that time.
