Enough With The Crackberry Addiction

Maybe I'm in denial, but are that many people addicted to their "Crackberries"?

In April of last year, The Washington Post did a story on pain from thumb strain related to Blackberry use.

Sure celebrities are seen carrying them all over the place. And everyone on the subway, including myself, is pounding away on their. But is it that bad? A study done by Rutgers University has kicked up the buzz on this again.

• Yesterday's New York Post crowed "Tech Junkies, Be "Berry" Afraid."
• The story is hot on the other side of the pond too. The Daily Mail says "Blackberry Addiction Similar to Drugs."

Stop the madness.

Quotable

Here is a tidbit of celebrity wisdom to brighten your day. Gwyneth Paltrow on Nicole Richie from Harper's Bazaar:

"I just hope the whole paparazzi thing continues in the way it's been going, which is with less interest in people like me and more interest in people like Nicole Richie -- who I think is an excellent dresser, by the way," Paltrow says."She's supercute. It's really fair that the press attention goes to those who want it and court it. I think that's great."
