When you first hear the term internet addiction, you may smile and think this new term is a joke. Okay, so maybe people do waste a lot of time on the internet. But how can that be such a bad thing?

Yet, internet addiction can be a serious problem. Like many addictions, it is a compulsive disorder. First, take the word addiction itself. Addiction means that you are dependent on something, it is taking up a lot of your time. Now think about the time one can waste on the internet. Okay, so an hour here and there isn't a bad thing. But if a person is addicted to the internet they will be online longer than just an hour and it won't just be an event that happens occasionally, being online is something they do daily for hours on end. This addiction can lead to time away from family and friends. It can even led to time that should be spent at work.

Internet addiction can be further explained into subcategories, too. One may not just be addicted to the internet. One can get addicted to certain activities that perform while on the internet such as: online auctions, online chat rooms, online surfing, online gaming, and this addiction can even led to more serious online problems such as online gambling and online cybersex.

How do you know if you have a problem? You should start by looking at your internet habits. Then ask yourself such questions as: How often are you online? Does being online ever interfere with your work or home duties and if so how often does it? How often do you check your email? Do people in your home complain about how often you are online? Do you continue to search out new online friends? When you are not online do you anticipate when you can go back online? Do you get annoyed when someone interrupts you while you are online? Do you loose sleep because you are online late at night? Do you ever hide the length of time you were online?

The answer to the above questions can indicate that you have a problem. If you think you do, what should you do? Like with any other health problem, you may want to consider counseling. If you can't afford counseling, you may want to check out some websites that offers some help.

It may seem strange that there are websites that help with online addiction. Yet, if you think about it online websites may be the best place for online addiction sufferer to seek help. A great site is netaddiction.com. At this site, they further explain what online addiction is. They also have online self tests you can take, to see if you have a problem and to see just how deep your problem is. They also offer advice for more serious online problems such as online gambling and online cybersex activities. They even have chat rooms where recovering addicts and family members of recovering addicts can come together and share.

Should one avoid the internet for fear of getting addicted, no? The internet is a wonderful tool. You can learn a lot online. Plus, it is a great place to just relax and have fun. But moderation is the key in any activity, including the internet.

Parents should also monitor their children to make sure that they are not becoming addicted to the internet. Some children, especially teenagers, have problems building friendships and relationships. You don't want your child's only friendships to be on the internet.

The internet and your online friends should not take the place of real life and real life people. If you remember that one sentence, you will continue to enjoy the internet in a healthy way.

Yahoo! Versus Google - Does Yahoo! Stand a Chance at Winning?

WHAT WAS TERRY SEMEL THINKING?

One of the last desperate gasps of corporate manuvering that ex-CEO of Yahoo! Terry Semel did, was to offer a full quarter of Yahoo! stock to News Corp. in exchange for the ownership of MySpace.com that News Corp. had forked out over $580 million for two years ago. Needless to say, that lame duck deal never saw the light of day, as Semel has since left Yahoo! for greener pastures in the internet world, leaving the far superior-thinking Jerry Yang at the helm of Yahoo! for the immediate future.

Semel's horrible management of Yahoo! over the past five years was a combination of misinformed business decisions concerning the future of the internet itself, and the lack of Semel's ability to cut through the corporate bureaucracy that has allowed Google to leap past Yahoo! to become the #1 search engine that it currently is today. Everyone in Silicon valley realized that Semel had to leave Yahoo! if the company ever wanted to gain back the ground that Semel had lost to Google over his disastrous reign for the past few years, so Semel's resignation came as no real shock to anyone.

THE FOUNDER IS BACK IN CHARGE

Major tech companies always need their CEO's to be people who have a strong background in technical issues, and Yang is certainly no exception. As one of the major founders of Yahoo! since its inception, Yang should be able to come up with a new company strategy that will put on emphasis on attaining new technological advantages over Google that will allow Yahoo! to step up the competition.

A lot of key personnel in Yahoo's ranks had left the company because they hated the fact that Semel was not an internet guy at all, and he had no real interest in running Yahoo's day-to-day business. He was seen as a figurehead for a once cutting-edge tech company that had lost any focus on what it takes to keep up with a behemoth like Google has turned into.

RUMORS OF A BUY-OUT RUN RAMPANT

The performance gap between Yahoo! and Google really needs to be closed very quickly if Yang is to succeed at his new job, and a huge buy-out from another tech company might just have to take place for that gap to be closed. Microsoft and Comcast both have been rumored to be seeking out exactly how much Yahoo! would be worth to them, while other insiders believe that Yahoo! fares a better chance at financial gains if they just align themselves with Google and outsource their search engine to Google for a huge cut of the ad revenue that would be generated on Google's much more popular pages.

THINGS COULD NOT LOOK WORSE FOR YAHOO!

Google's main searches bring back 40 percent more ad revenue than Yahoo! does, and the February release of "Panama", the new Yahoo! ad system that was supposed to generate a more streamlined approach to help increase Yahoo's advertising revenue did absolutely nothing for them. Yahoo's banner advertising which was once their pride and joy could drop their second-quarter results far below the midpoint of the predictions that Yahoo! had forcasted only a few months ago.

Yahoo! even had a chance to buy the extremely popular social bookmarking site Facebook, at a price of $1 billion last year, but did not complete the deal because of Terry Semel having to re-think the deal. Now, with Facebook's overwhelming new popularity, that decision could potentially cost Yahoo! millions of dollars in lost revenue over the next five years.

Nobody wants to see Google take over the entire search engine ad revenue market all by themselves. Yahoo! should look at every possible strategy so they can somehow come up out on top, and get out of their own way so that true success will come back to their search engine business which will allow them to give Google the much needed competition they need so that this search engine monopoly can finally end.

No one's going to mistake this for a fashion phone, but we're thinking that's just fine with Sonim, the company well-known for its ultra-rugged XP3 that's just passed a new XP2 model through the FCC's barrage of testing. Dubbed "Spirit," the XP2 appears to be Sonim's first phone with 3G on board -- though the tiny display will probably make it useful more for tethering than anything else -- and that insane-looking octagonal shell has us believing that they're going to be able to make some truly wild claims about its survivability. UMTS while spot-welding the phone in 30 feet of water? Probably not, but if any phone could do it, we suspect it'd be this bad boy. No word on pricing, availability, or even an announcement, but we'll keep you updated.

Sonim's XP2 strong-arms its way through the FCC originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:52:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
