  1. Wrong. Let me give you all the actual characteristics and requirements of an addiction: 1. Physical AND/OR Mental cravings for the subject at hand. You have a physical and mental craving for most drugs after you abuse them continuously as your body develops a requirement for them in order to function... At best you may have a mental craving to play video games, but honestly you have the mind of a 5 year old if you can't live without games. This is actual cravings, not "...Mm, I can't wait till I get home so I can play some L4D." and 2. This is probably the more defining part of an addiction... Physical and/or Mental withdrawal symptoms. Meaning when the subject at hand is taken from you you experience EXTREME physical and/or mental withdraws. This doesn't mean "Damn, haven't playing WoW in awhile. Really need to get my subscription back before I get even more bored." If that classified as an addiction, then everything someone enjoyed would be an addiction. Withdrawal symptoms are where you vomit because you haven't done crack in awhile, or your mind just goes blank and you go fetal position because you haven't gotten drunk in a few days. THOSE are withdrawal symptoms. When my internet goes down or my comp is fucked up and I can't play any computer games for a few days sure, I get bored, but i have never just started vomiting and getting nausea or headaches(physical withdrawal) from not playing them, nor have I ever crawled up into a corner and started shaking from not being able to shout "BOOM HEADSHOT"(mental withdrawal). This whole video game addiction crap is just an excuse for people to blame their failing grades, lack of a job, etc on. If someone goes to their job everyday for years why is that not an addiction? Why is some kid that loves to run outside and play sports instead of homework not 'addicted'? This video game shit is just a bunch of political crap made up by therapists and parents. People who think that we're addicted to video games just because we like playing them instead of doing homework or whatever(LOL, Duh. EVERYONE likes doing fun things better than work. Not doing your work in favor of something leisurely is called LAZINESS. Not addiction) are honestly stupid. Because we like doing something continuously since its fun doesn't mean we have a comparable addiction to someone whose been tripping balls on meth everyday for years. So, until someone presents me with solid, SCIENTIFIC proof about video games(not some bullshit study that shows teens who play video games have worse grades or some shit. Nor some news station with a 5 minute special on some kid with ADHD getting all cranky. Those are studies, not proof.) that directly connects a video game with both extreme cravings and withdrawal I'm not even going to believe for a second there's addiction involved. /rant

  15. iPad

    Wait, so theres a difference between having a full functional laptop screen on your lap with a thousand more options and possibilities than having a little screen on your lap that can't do half of what the prior could do? The only difference in what your saying would be the keys and mouse, which TBH is more of a bonus than disadvantage.
  16. iPad

    Looks like Apples run out of ideas and is just riding on their ability to make things appear nice. Really, what a waste of money. At least with an iTouch/iPhone you could fit the damn thing in your pocket and it'd actually server good purposes wherever you were... With this I imagine even if you had the chance to take it around(which is unlikely that it'll be used for more than like a portable DVD player or some shit), the thing would break so easily from what it looks like. Seriously, people yell at Windows for "releasing things before they're ready"? Right back at you, Apple.
