Filed under: Company News , Economy Deutsche Bank AG ( DB ) Chief Executive Josef Ackermann is not buying all the talk about economic recovery beginning to take hold. In fact, the head of Germany’s biggest bank went out of his way to raise red flags about things that may still go further south. Earlier this week, Deutsche Bank set aside about $1 billion for risky loans in the second quarter, a seven fold increase, according to Bloomberg News. Unemployment in the 27-member European Union hit a 13-year high in June of 9.4 percent. Many economists expect the U.S. joblessness rate to surpass 10 percent by the end of next year.

Filed under: Economy , People Among the results of a Pew Research Center survey on napping, released Wednesday, is this illuminating factoid: the unemployed are more likely to nap during the week, and lower income adults are disproportionately more likely to nap than middle and upper income adults. Also, more men than women nap, especially among adults over 50, where 41 percent of men nap, compared to 28 percent of women. Researchers worried about under-reporting in the survey of 1,488, noting the “stigma” of napping, leading me to wonder: might these results be far milder than reality, and might there be a connection between napping and the economy? While there is of course no direct data on causality, and there are many more boring reasons for this, it is true that the ranks of the unemployed are predominantly made of of menfolk; the latest unemployment data shows that 10 percent of American adult men are unemployed, compared to 7.6 percent of women. The racial makeup of unemployment, napping and lower-income wage earners are also nearly identical, raising the question again: which is causing which? Is the sort of person who naps more likely to earn less, be laid off more readily? Or is napping our self-medication against unemployment and low wages?

Filed under: Economy , People In America, authorities often seem to view drug problems in a vacuum: recognizing the effects of addiction, but all too rarely considering the causes of consumption. Officially, the implication is that drug use is self-creating and self-perpetuating, instead of the result of larger processes and movements. This is particularly clear in the case of methamphetamine, a brutally addictive drug that has increasingly proven the scourge of small-town America. In Methland: the Death and Life of an American Small Town , Nick Reding explores the causes of the epidemic, suggesting that meth’s extensive popularity is rooted in the painful economic realities of a heartland that economics has left behind.

Filed under: Company News , Technology , Investing Being a video game console maker is a lot like being a movie studio: you’re only as good as your last blockbuster. And these days, thanks to a lack of blockbuster game titles, fewer game consoles are moving off store shelves. The Nintendo Wii, the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s XBox are getting old. What boosts sales of aging consoles are hit games. Nintendo ( NTDOY ), Sony ( SNE ) and Microsoft ( MSFT ) are hungry, maybe desperate, for hits.

Filed under: Technology , Columns Apple says it will patch the iPhone security flaw that was revealed July 30 at the Black Hat Internet security conference in Las Vegas. TUAW, a popular Apple rumor source, noted that all carriers are likely watching this development closely . That’s good news. Google told BusinessWeek it has already patched the hole, and Microsoft is investigating.
