I like that the name can be a pun, "Updated-itis: a disease where the afflicted person cannot help but check hourly whether all of their software is up-to-date"

I like that... it was originally a play on yodas strange little syntax.
Of course, anyone that knows what the suffix "-itis" is for will be cringing. It always has bugged me when people use "-itis"-- your [insert thing here] is not inflamed ;)
