"Wie wandelnde Leichen"
Bei Internet-Sucht hilft nur kalter Entzug
Tief liegende Augen, blasse Gesichtsfarbe, zitternde Hände: "Sie sehen aus wie wandelnde Leichen", sagt Psychologe Andreas Koch von der Berliner Caritas. Er meint so genannte Internet-Junkies, die täglich 10 bis 15 Stunden im Netz hängen - ohne ausreichend zu essen, zu trinken oder sich zu waschen. Viele von ihnen leben von Hartz IV und haben sich aus dem realen Leben weitestgehend verabschiedet - bis die Telefongesellschaft schließlich den Anschluss sperrt.

Hellster Komet in 30 Jahren am Himmel
Der zurzeit noch in Europa zu sehende Komet McNaught ist nach Einschätzung eines NASA-Forschers der hellste Komet in 30 Jahren. Der nach seinem australischen Entdecker benannte Komet sei sechs Mal heller als Hale-Bopp im Jahr 1997 und 100 Mal heller als der Halleysche Komet im Jahr 1986.
Vermutlich beste Sichtbarkeit am 9. - 11. January 2007, etwa 17:20 pm or 7:30 am, MEZ ( München, ~ 48,20°).

Comet McNaught
Comet McNaught (C/2006 P1) is plunging toward the Sun and brightening dramatically. It is now visible both at sunset and at dawn. In the morning, the comet emerges just ahead of the rising sun. In the evening, it pops out of the western twilight as soon as the sun sets. In both cases, a clear view of the horizon is essential.

Letting your hair down
When Julia Roberts flashed under-arm hair at a film premiere there was uproar. But one woman, at least, wants to overturn prejudices and has taken a New Year's resolution not to shave.

MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents
It is no secret that the MPAA and other anti-piracy organizations track down alleged pirates by uploading fake torrents. Up until now it was always unclear where those files came from, and how to identify them.
The MPAA and other anti-piracy watchdogs try to trap people into downloading fake torrents, so they can collect IP addresses, and send copyright infringement letters to ISPs. They hire a company to put up fake copies of popular movies, music albums, and TV series. They even use pirate like filenames such as “Battlestar Galactica S03E07 REPACK DSR XviD-ORENJi” and “Miami Vice[2006]DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo“.
