A few buzzworthy video games items out of the U.K. press this morning. As my colleague Brier Dudley has noted , the Inquirer is reporting that Google is going to buy Kirkland-based Valve "any second now." Valve is a video game company with an industry leading distribution platform called Steam. (Update, 12:53 p.m.: Turns out that it ain't happening, according to MTV Multiplayer , which quoted a Valve spokesman saying, "complete fabrication." Oh, and Valve is now in Bellevue, not Kirkland.) The U.K. Guardian Games blog has an interesting interview with former Microsoft Xbox Boss Peter Moore , who left the company last summer to head EA Sports . Moore, who started at the Redmond company in January 2003, provides some candid assessments of life inside the Microsoft games business. Here are the bits I found most interesting. ...

Windows Cloud' to descend this month, says Ballmer Microsoft prefers to 'obsolete ourselves' By Kelly Fiveash Microsoft will let loose a new operating system, Windows Cloud, at the company’s annual developer conference later this month. Boss Steve Ballmer announced Redmond’s plans at a Software plus Services partner event in London this lunchtime. He playfully gave the OS the temporary name of Windows Cloud. Apparently, we’ll learn more from Microsoft about the platform at the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles, which takes place at the end of October. “We need a new operating system designed for the cloud and we will introduce one in about four weeks, we’ll even have a name to give you by then. But let’s just call it for the purposes of today ‘Windows Cloud’,” said Ballmer. “Just like Windows Server looked a lot like Windows but with new properties, new characteristics and new features, so will Windows Cloud look a lot like Windows Server.” Ballmer also hinted at what would be built into the new OS, including geo replication, how to design apps intended to commingle [we think he means appeasing regulators by providing more interoperability], management modelling and an SOA model, to effectively create a new platform. “We’re not driving an agenda towards being service providers but we’ve gotta build a service that is Windows in the cloud,” admitted Ballmer. He also hit out at internet kingpin and pesky rival Google Conti ... Source: news.bbc.co.uk --- 9 days ago

mikesd81 writes "Google has developed 'Mail Goggles,' a Gmail add-on that makes sending email from Gmail more difficult during certain times (which you can set). If you have Mail Goggles installed, it will force you to answer a series of math questions before sending out any new messages. You can adjust the math difficulty and times this option is in effect. If you get any of the questions wrong, Mail Goggles will say, 'Water and bed for you. Or try again.' Of course, if you set the math settings too high, you may have a tough time solving some of those problems in under 60 seconds, even when sober. Then again, if you're sober, you could just turn Mail Goggles off and hit send on that impassioned letter to your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or that flame to your Boss."

As mornings after go, there are few combinations more deadly than a computer, too much alcohol and a seething sense of indignation. But there could soon be a solution for people who cannot resist sending an ill-conceived drunken email to their Boss or a former lover. An altruistic Google employee has come up with a system that will block — or at least make people reconsider sending — the type of message they will probably regret the next day. Mail Goggles, which can be set to spring into action late at night and at weekends, asks emailers to answer a series of short maths questions before sending a message. The basic addition and multiplication sums have to be completed within a time limit. The idea, according to the Gmail engineer Jon Perlow, is to help those who are a little too tired and emotional to foresee the consequences of their actions. "Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send," Perlow confessed on the Gmail blog. "Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late-night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together." The programme, he said, was designed to establish whether "you're really sure you want to send that late-night Friday email … what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple maths problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?". Even communications experts occasionally need a moment to take a deep bre ... Source: blogs.cricinfo.com --- 1 day ago
The launch of the official BCCI website - aiming, its backers claim, to be the most popular cricket site in the world - has attracted comment from the Guardian in their media blog. So far it looks rather less like a website devoted to cricket than to the BCCI. Top story yesterday was "Lalit Modi bags TV award", the IPL commissioner having won a coveted CNBC Awaaz Consumer Award - well, someone must covet them. Top comment piece was "In Praise of Sharad Pawar", a 1,685-word paean about the outgoing BCCI Boss, "a statesman who is clear of thought, dispassionate and above all a true team leader" by his BCCI colleague IS Bindra. This venture bears close watching, for the BCCI is offering not just a web portal but to exercise a significant degree of control over the coverage of cricket in India, to the exclusion of its established rival Cricinfo. They are moving fast: a Google search for "BCCI" still directs you to the old BCCI site which looks like it was banged together in an hour by a teenage slacker between puffs on a bong. So far, though, there is little to allay suspicions that India's hegemonic pretensions in international cricket are less about the game than about the aggrandisement of its political and media elite. And as we are finding elsewhere, no hubris fails to find its nemesis. ... Source: www.stevepavlina.com --- 3 days ago
A coworker of mine is a lawyer. Her mother used to say crap about her when she was a kid and she was punished without any chance to say something to defend herself. She married and divorced after a long confrontation. She is trapped in the "drama triangle" (Google for it if you want to know about it). She is playing victim and she is making my Boss to play persecutor. I used to get into trouble for helping her, until I realized about her game. She is not cheating me intentionally, but she truly believes she is a victim. She sees this: -I am treated unfairly. Justice must be made. -I have rights, I must enforce them -There is assymetry of forces, fight harder -Confrontation -She loses -I am treated unfairly. Justice must be made. I see this: -She makes mistakes at work -She feels bad when her quality grades are low -She feels it is unfair -She feels bad -She appeal to gain some points, but as she fights for it, she creates an environment of confrontation that annoys everyone. Fortunately my Boss does not play roles of drama triangle. -She loses -She feels there is injustice and rejection, but she is not addressing the root cause of her mistakes. She presents herself like arrogant, not like the fragile human being she is. If you ask me, her relationship with her mother is causing this, but she seems like imprisoned in a case with recursive and selfreinforcing ideas, and everything that sounds like she is making a mistake is rejected.

Why hasn't Microsoft already made their office tools available as online versions? It could set them up in a good position against Google's online office efforts -- the shift to the so-called computing cloud, the buzzword of recent times. I once heard someone argue they don't move to the cloud because it would cannibalize their own desktop office suite. But times are changing, and now Google Microsoft Boss Steve Ballmer said some interesting things, according to The Register: "We need a new operating system designed for the cloud and we will introduce one in about four weeks, we'll even have a name to give you by then.

Remember that time when you sent an email to an ex when you were drunk? Perhaps an email to that cute girl in the office that you've always wanted to speak to or perhaps a rant at your Boss under the influence of beer? Google to the rescue! Google has announced "mail goggles". When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind? Google's idea is to prevent those embarrassing mishaps on a Friday evening after a few alcoholic beverages. Perhaps phone manufacturers could implement this too as I regularly need electronic restraint on a Friday evening from txting the wrong person at the wrong time.

Just a quick post to mention a silly (or is it?) experiment that Google has released to the public: Mail Goggles . This feature is designed to prevent you from sending stupid e-mails in the small hours, when you're most likely to be inebriated and at risk of making a complete idiot of yourself. Don't drink and e-mail. When enabled, Mail Goggles kicks in at the time you specify (default is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday), and throws five math problems up on the screen when you press "send." You have a limited period of time to solve them. If you can answer the questions, presumably you're of mind sound enough to tell off your Boss, or pour your heart out to your ex-lover. If you can solve simple math problems even when under the table, there's an option to ramp up the difficulty of the questions, but sadly they remain in the mathematical realm and don't drift into interesting algebra or calculus. To activate Mail Goggles, go into Gmail's settings, and turn on Mail Goggles in the "Labs" tab. Then adjust how and when it works in the "General" tab. Seriously? I'm hoping this feature shows up on blogging products. ...
True story: One time a friend and neighbor of mine who worked for the World Bank was slated to go to Africa on some big fancy World Bank trip to Africa. In order to go on this fancy World Bank trip to Africa he was prescribed a potent batch of anti-malaria pills. As you may or may not have heard about anti-malaria pills, they can sometimes have adverse effects on the person taking them. Like hallucinations. This poor guy, for reasons he never fully explained, decided to check his e-mail--deep in the throes of medicinally-induced hallucinations and night-terrors. Long story short: he called one of his clients a terrible, terrible name. And to facilitate his hasty retirement from the World Bank, copied his entire department on the e-mail, Boss and all. If only he had Mail Goggles. What, you may be asking, are Mail Goggles? Simply put, Google's latest offering is raddest thing to ever arrive in Rad Town: a filter that strives to keep you from sending e-mail that, deep down, you don't really mean to send. You know, like when it's 3 AM and you've just emptied your cabinets of Johnny Walker and Ben AND Jerry before settling in to check your Gmail--and maybe ping that ex you've been thinking about stalking--before hitting the sack (a little moment I like to call "Wednesday"). Google wants to help you NOT send that e-mail! Behold: The way it works, I gather from the official Gmail blog , is that you can choose when it's active. If you'r ...
