A Brave New Gamer World

“ ‘We've got an entire group of people under age 30 who grew up playing video games,’ said Jim Gee, professor in the UW-Madison School of Education. ‘It's completely changing the way people think about education and the workplace.’

This ‘gamer generation’ includes some 90 million people in the U.S. alone, ages 15 to 35. In fact, sales of video games have now surpassed sales of TVs, DVDs and CDs….

A host of new data is suggesting that video games have created a new generation of employees and executives, bigger than the baby boomers, who will dramatically transform the workplace.

Researchers like John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade, authors of the book ‘Got Game: How the Gamer Generation is Reshaping Business Forever’ argue that managers who understand and harness this generation's distinct attributes will leap far ahead of the competition.

Beck and Wade say these 90 million rising professionals, through sheer numbers, will inevitably dominate business and are already changing the rules. Although many of the changes are positive, such as more open communication and creative problem solving, they have caused a generation gap that frustrates gamers and the boomers who manage them….” [The Capital Times, via Library Link of the Day]

Among DVD+R/-R discs of varying speeds, 16x discs will account for the largest portion in terms of shipment in beginning the third quarter of this year at the earliest, according to Taiwanese makers of optical discs. Of Taiwan’s output of DVD+R/-R discs, 8x plus 4x discs take up 80%-90% currently, with the remaining 10%-20% being 16x discs produced by no more than five leading makers, the makers indicated. Although the global demand for DVD discs is increasing as reflected on orders received, second-tier makers in Taiwan have offered lower prices to compete for 8x and 4x DVD+R/-R discs.

Don't expect to use your branded GSM

Don't expect to use your branded GSM
outside your carriers network 06/14/2004 08:09 AM

I have a GSM telephone by T-Mobile and when I went overseas this time I took it with me figuring I could pop a sim card into it and use it in the country I was visiting. Turned out since the phone was a branded one it was locked out from being able to be used in another country. I found a unlock code for it on a website and weighed using it but decided against it.

Instead I bought a cheap phone and will use that on future travels. The true test will be when I get back and try the Sim from T-Mobile in the new phone. It seems a group of consumers are pissed of about this lockout feature and are suing to force companies to unlock the phones we buy.

I must admit that in the United States I do not see cell phones for-sale stand-alone seems most are branded. As consumers become more educated this will change. [ Boing Boing] [Popular Science] [Unlock Me] [GSM Software]

Who's Surfing Internet Porn? Might Not
Be Who You Would Expect 01/02/2004 02:30 PM
A recent study from Nielsen/NetRatings has found that, despite the general perception of who is surfing porn sites, one-third of porn site visitors are women. The article doesn't go into details, so it's unclear how they defined "porn sites" and how they measured this. They do quote one woman who claims that "you can get both education and inspiration" from the sites. So, maybe that's the defense schools and libraries should use for not filtering the internet: it's "educational" (yes, I'm joking). Anyway, I don't think it's all that surprising that there are women who like porn (studies have shown that before), but I'd say the details of the study need to be explained a bit more before people go jumping to conclusions.

Last year’s Macworld was a whirlwind of releases and new technologies, which saw updated PowerBooks, Airport Extreme and iLife.

If Bush can't deal with allies, how can
we expect him to run a war? 03/11/2003 01:59 PM
Noted neoconservative Fred Kaplan has a great article in Slate where he asks the question that so many others are asking:

If the administration lacks the acumen or persuasive power to deal with such familiar institutions as the U.N. Security Council or the established governments of France, Germany, Turkey, Russia, China—even Canada—then how is it going to handle Iraq's feuding opposition groups, Kurdish separatists, and myriad ethno-religious factions, to say nothing of the turbulence throughout the region?

Kaplan concludes, as do I:

It is becoming increasingly and distressingly clear that, however justified the coming war with Iraq may be, the Bush administration is in no shape—diplomatically, politically, or intellectually—to wage it or at least to settle its aftermath. It is hard to remember when, if ever, the United States has so badly handled a foreign-policy crisis or been so distrusted by so many friends and foes as a result.

I wonder what it means for such a noted neocon to come out against the Bush administration on the fundamental issue of competence. Maybe the Republican wall in front of Bush will finally crack, and Republican legislators will put their duty as citizens in front of their party loyalties. One can always hope. I highly recommend the article , even if it is in Slate.

FTC Legalizes Porn Spam - Expect Plenty

FTC Legalizes Porn Spam - Expect Plenty 04/13/2004 02:10 PM
The latest move by our government to legitimize spam by simply adding rules that tell you how to spam properly, is this decision by the FTC that all porn spam must be labeled to say "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" (capital screaming required?). Also, such spam cannot contain "graphic material." In other words, porn spammers have just been told it's okay to spam. This should pretty much guarantee that we all start receiving a lot more pornographic spam - though, easily labeled so that anyone glancing over your shoulder (assuming you don't use filters) to check out your inbox will immediately see "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT" everywhere. I'm a bit surprised they're doing this, considering the recent ridiculous crackdown on "indecency." Not that I have a problem with anyone viewing whatever porn they want - but it should be their choice, and not forced upon them by spammers.

Garbage day in the village

Garbage day in the village 05/29/2004 08:51 PM

May 30, or 530. 5 3 can be read "gomi" in Japanese which means garbage. So what does May 30 mean in our village? Garbage 0 day. This morning, I participated with most of the village in picking up trash and junk around the village. Along one of the roads, there was an area that was clearly being used as an illegal garbage dump by many people. There were mufflers, car batteries, toilets, beds, bicycles and even a car dumped there. We spent the morning hoisting this junk out of the mud and carrying it in trucks to a location where the local government would come and collect it for us.

There were many children helping out as well. Hopefully this annual garage day will help educate them not to dump trash by the road.

I got a chance to meet more of my neighbors so it was nice. I still have a hard time remembering everyone's name but sharing this massive chore with the whole village was quite a bonding experience.

An interesting look at an attempt to bridge the digital divide four years ago by putting up a housing project that included free computers and internet access. The article suggests that plan certainly hasn't been a huge success. There was a rough start when many people were unwilling to go through the necessary two week training program to get the free PC. Also, now that the program has used up its funding, no one really knows how well it's done. Not a single study has been done to see how (or if!) the people are actually using these free PCs. More telling, though, is the fact that none of the other similar housing projects has offered the same deal.
