    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. Reply

    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.

    And what about those of us who couldn't watch anything, because our cable modem providers hadn't signed up with NBC? There was no way to know this in advance. Plus, there
    was no way to buy a separate package! Idiots!     Reply

    'Serious Gaming' Set To Take Off [view article]
    Just from my anecdotal experience from playing and observing the computer game world since Pong in the 70s, and my knowledge of software development, I think the progress in the gaming universe has been and will continue to be linear, not parabolic. As jopann alluded to, the constraints in game development are not technical, but human. Reply

    Dow Price Targets from Last November [view article]
    What a joke analysts really are. I watched Bear Stearns and Countrywide get sold off cheap, yet analysts still had high target prices, ridiculous and a total waste of time.
    My tip is to live as far away from Wall Street as possible and ignor this mob.     Reply

    'Serious Gaming' Set To Take Off [view article]
    From an experienced former game developer:

    Military and defense will provide developers with a place to innovate.

    Totally wrong. Military and defense provide developers with a place to implement educational and training games on top of existing technology and gameplay innovations.


    Healthcare and emergency response will embrace large-scale games.

    This is possible. MMO-style interactions would provide for this.


    Universities will become competition to game developers.

    Again totally wrong. Universities are filled with under-motivated, low-talent and low-skill individuals attempting to make games. This underestimates the skill level required to complete a polished game experience.

    Enterprises will seek to make games a part of work.

    What? Sounds good on paper, but probably will not make any money for any of these unknown "Enterprises"...

    If you want to be successful, you have to be able to do it yourself and not rely on so called "experts" like the anal ysts. Reply

    Gaming the Recession [view article]
    I don't think you should shrug off TV as an non-effective entertainment option. Granted, there are a lot of bad shows out there, but there are also many good ones. In fact, I think I enjoy watching an NFL game on TV vs. going to one in person. No ticket necessary, no traffic, no crowds, no lines, no overpriced beer/food, and always indoors.

    Otherwise I enjoyed the article. Video gaming is still one of the cheapest recession-resistant forms of entertainment out there.     Reply
