A debilitating psychological condition which affects computer users everywhere. Update addiction has to do with the excessive downloading of software updates and should not be confused with an Updating Whore. You are likely an update addict if...
You click "Software Update..." (on Mac) or "Windows Update" (on Windows) more than three times a day.
You cannot resist buying the latest version of software or operating system -- even if you don't need, want, or even care to know about the new features.
You click "Check for updates" every time you run a program.
You stay up late watching the progress bar to make sure your latest update "really updated."
You get frustrated by stable software because it doesn't require updates every other day. So you always choose beta or nightly builds to ensure that you can download a maximum number of updates.

Get the Porn Addiction mug.Band formed in L.A. in the 80s consisting of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins, and Eric Avery. Perry's band before this was Psi Com. A great band that redefined the rock genre. Their biggest hits were Been Caught Stealing (which they won an award at the MTV VMAs) and Jane Says. Flea from RHCP played for them in one of their reunion albums, Kettle Whistle, and Chris Chaney was their new bassist on Strays. All members have done their own projects aside from Jane's Addiction which are all good. A band not to be overlooked in any way. The name comes from Perry Farrell's old roommate Jane Bainter who had a bad heroin addiction and it became the name of their band. Other influences include girlfriends Casey Niccoli and Xiola Bleu and, of course, many other things in Perry's life. A great band, the best I know.
