This week, the 19-year-old dropout from a telecommunications college voluntarily entered the clinic for 10 to 15 days residential treatment to get her off the net.
Addicts develop a chemical imbalance in the brain, stimulating production of a compound called 5-HT, which produces feelings of euphoria while online. When away from the screen, levels drop off and the addict suffers withdrawal symptoms including anxiety and headaches.

A range of fashion clothing for chickens has been launched by a group of designers working in Austria and Japan.
Austrian Edgar Honetschlaeger said he decided to work with the Japanese on the project because he hoped to make the chicken label clothing essential. He said "It's something that you don't really need but everyone wants to have anyway".
The idea has already taken off after the designers staged a fashion show that is now touring the world.

Jackson is not guilty !
A so long trial and a surprising result...
But now I'm not sure if his career is over or not.
How sad such a talented person became a weirdo and had so many troubles with justice
