Streamyx Outage Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

Posted: Sunday, 10 April 2005 (22:14)

The recent outage affecting Screamyx Streamyx users saw a significant rise among Malaysian Internet users suffering from Internet Withdrawal Syndrome. The inability to surf websites, chat, play online games, download music/movies/tv episodes via BitTorrent, email, and perhaps get some serious work done in between had most users going ballistic to the point of being manic depressive.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, an increasing number of people also exhibited the newly discovered Blogging Deprivation Syndrome. It reportedly started when they can't blog about their Internet Withdrawal Symptom.

Update (April 12 @ 1540 hours): Om Malik has written an entry about Internet Anxiety Disorder.
