Gaming the Recession [view article]
Another factor to take into account is online video game rentals from Gamefly. If you use Gamefly you're playing unlimited games for pennies on the dollar (works just like netflix). In addition, they offer trade-in credits for games, try before you buy options, steep discounts on pre-played games, free shipping and a myriad of member benefits... all from the comfort of your own home. And they cover every console available with some 5000+games and distribution centers across the country. ReplyTime To Take Video Games Seriously? [view article]
Which companies appear to be most creative in the "Business Video Training Games"I work for a company that uses similulators to train workers largely where no experienced work force exists. Simulators are installed prior to new plant construction to train workers. By the time the plant is completed the operators know how to run it in record time.
Imagine making on spec products from a new refinery within 10-15 days of start up instead of 60-120 days to get all the bugs out.
We're sophisticated but use a video game to improve data entry skills IE speed and accuracy and I can calculate the ROI on that pretty easy.

Russia's Rising Internet Population [view article]
Bear in mind that the overall potential number of users is much lower than e.g. 82% in Netherlands. A part of the territory may still lack infrastructure for Internet. Lots of people cannot afford Internet or are just busy with other type of problems. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]

Google is going to take over, they are so well positioned now to take advantage of the big shift in advertising spending that is continually moving towards the internet. In franchise marketing we are continually finding that more of our ad spend goes towards the internet. Google will benefit from all of this Internet attention.

I, am a chrysler worker here in Canada,cannot talk about the U.S , but I would have to agree with user 218405. A lot of my co-workers and good friends are still waiting for a recall. To conclude dc1 I am not in management, I work in the painting shop.Sorry but the next move from chrysler won t be a recall but to send more workers home indefinitely. I know the economy is bad but over the years,good and bad,the union did not help that sector. They helped me short term but long term it s a different story. A lot of my friends agrre with me but too afraid to voice their opinion,that tells you a lot about the union isn t it? ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]
To User 218405:You must be in management. Very even sided comment. Reply

Wal-Mart won't let the unions kill them the way they destroyed the auto industry and education in this country. ReplyNBCOlympics.com: Winner, Loser, or Hobbled from the Start? [view article]
I personally watched 20 or so hours online. I thought they did a great job. Silverlight seems as good as Flash. And the download took all of 30 seconds.yo ReplyCloud Computing: More Storm Clouds Ahead [view article]
Cloud computing you say? Been there, done that. 30 years ago while at university using DEC machines from a dumb terminal. You'll have to pry my quad-code from my cold dead hands! ReplyCloud Computing: More Storm Clouds Ahead [view article]
i dont bank online & i would not sail up into the clouds.there is no 100% security on the net.i dont use atm either."privacy&q... dying word.. ReplyLargest Companies in the World [view article]
It's interesting to not see Citigroup and Bank of America listed among the top firms by market capitalization - when they are listed in the top 10 of the 2007 Forbes Global 2000 -- goes to show the effects of the current financial crisis. Interesting to see HSBC and the Chinese Banks not affected to nearly the degree as BofA and Citi.Also interesting to see that almost all the firms are down year to date except Wal-Mart and J&J. (would expect to see a higher percentage of larger firms, which are expected to be more "safe" than smaller firms, holding their own in a down market). Reply

I had no issue with the cable modem provider as you just select another one and another zip code (after clearing your cookies). I hated that part but it worked. Also, silverlight worked great for me on xp pro. No issues. ReplyCloud Computing: More Storm Clouds Ahead [view article]
The key to the big players in cloud storage will be "Trust".They will have to be as secure and as trustable as the major banks.

Oop's, did I say something wrong?
Seems the ATM Process can be hacked through user lack of attention when they use their cards, so now you will soon get a Text Message about large transactions, and then YOU have to notify the bank.
Soon we'll have to police our own data in the cloud, and notify the Cloud company if we see our own secure data being exploited.
It doesn't look good, from this small and probably insignificant point of view.
