Yes Virginia, playing mobile video games too much can hurt you. Take a medical case study which was published on JAMA's online website. A 29-year old man had been playing Candy Crush Saga everyday for 6 to 8 weeks. While a righty, the unnamed patient (would you let them reveal your name for this?) suffered from chronic left thumb pain. This man played the game with his left hand, according to the medical history, while using his right hand to do other things.

We will spare you the medical jargon and tell you that the patient had ruptured one of his tendons and required surgery. The tendon ...

Samsung's Galaxy S6 edge unboxing videos are like nothing you've seen before
4/14/2015 7:11:00 PM

Usually, unboxing videos are quite boring, and rarely provide details that you didn't already know about. That's why Samsung decided to unbox its Galaxy S6 edge in a unique manner.

As you'll see, Samsung's videos are less about unboxing the handset, and more about not boring the viewers. There are two videos to watch, the first presenting a black sapphire Galaxy S6 edge, and the second one showing the handset's gold platinum version. Mind you, the first video could very well have received a PG rating (if it were a movie), due to its often violent nature.

Samsung didn't make unboxing ...
