UK studios are behind more than a third of the games launched for Microsoft's Kinect motion gaming device since its launch, data released by the UKIE has revealed. |
Citing figures provided by Gfk ChartTrack, the UKIE revealed that UK game developers had made 42 per cent of Kinect games and 30 per cent of games for Sony's Move motion gaming peripheral for the PlayStation 3. |
Kinect Sports, the current best selling Kinect game, was developed by UK-based studio Rare and accounts for 28 per cent of total games sales for the platform. The figures also showed that Guildford's MediaMolecule is behind the UK's current best selling game, Little Big Planet 2. |
“The array of strong products that our home-grown, UK talent is producing is something we can all be proud of. This just shows how our UK developer base remains one of the best in the world, and can continue to step up to the plate as the market develops and platforms evolve,” UKIE director general Michael Rawlinson sa... |

The owner of stricken cruise liner Costa Concordia today said the loss of the ship would wipe up to £62 million from its profits this year. |
Carnival, which owns Costa Cruises, said the grounded vessel would be out of service until at the least the end of its financial year to November 30, costing it between 85 million and 95 million US dollars this year. It said it was too early to calculate other costs. |
Shares in Carnival, the world's largest cruise ship operator, were down 21 per cent today, wiping nearly £1 billion from its market value. Its stock had already fallen about 30 per cent over the previous year as the weak economic climate hit demand for cruises. |
Analysts have suggested that the shipwreck could reduce the company's profits by a tenth this year, although they have said the longer-term losses will be harder to calculate. |
The timing of the fatal sinking could not be worse for the business, as January to March is the so-called wave season, accounting for about a third of all bookings. |
However, Carnival, which is listed on the London and New York stock exchanges, said it was insured to the tune of 40 million US dollars (£26.1 million) for the vessel. |

The town's health department is overtaxed, Board of Health Chairman Mike Hugo told selectmen last night. |
National staffing standards for health departments call for 31 full-time employees for a town like Framingham that serves a population between 50,000 and 100,000. |
Framingham's health department has eight full-time employees and one part time, according to Hugo's slide presentation to selectmen inside the Memorial Building's Ablondi Room. |
According to Hugo, the town has three sanitarians who perform 960 inspections every year. Restaurants usually take between 90 minutes and five hours to inspect, supermarkets take 15 hours, while housing violations take 90 minutes. |
There are 411 food establishments in Framingham that are supposed to be inspected an average of twice per year. In addition there are 38 public swimming pools and bathing beaches, nine summer camps, seven tanning establishments, four tattoo establishments, and 80 tobacco sellers that the health department is supposed t... |
The department also coordinates seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines, oversees animal permitting, and dictates pesticide regulations, among other things. |
Hugo told the board the department's resources are overloaded. |
Town Manager Julian Suso said discussions are ongoing about increasing the health department's fees that would allow staff to increase. A proposal could go before Town Meeting next spring, he said. |
In other business the Board of Health is going to examine Conigliaro Industries, a 701 Waverley St. business, after a massive fire occurred there last week. |
"The Board of Health never had any control when it was built...this is a site that got away," said Hugo. |
Also, the Department of Public Works gave selectmen a presentation on multiple department projects. |
The report summarized among other items solid waste and recycling trends. The town decreased the amount of curbside trash by 14.5 percent between fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2009, from 17,027 tons to 14,548 tons. |
Recycling has decreased 5 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009, decreasing from 4,984 tons to 4,709 tons. |
The board did not adjourn before deadline last night, for more selectmen coverage check the Daily News Web site tomorrow. |
The Internet may never forget, but clearly most people can't seem to remember much about network history past their last few status updates. Had we all remembered the historic U.S. immigration protests of 2006, largely organized through MySpace and other network media channels, perhaps Malcolm Gladwell may have never w... |
The U.S. immigration protests in the spring of 2006 were significant in that millions of people took to the streets in major cities across the U.S. protesting proposed immigration policies, organizing some of the largest demonstrations in our country's history. One little-known fact is that much of the word was spread ... |
Gladwell's initial essay for the New Yorker used a few tangential examples of why social media and networks would never be the instigators, conductors, or collaboration tools of a protest. Certainly many took pleasure in kicking the Egypt example back in Gladwell's court, and clearly Facebook deserves credit as being t... |
Many of Gladwell's fans say he is just misunderstood, but perhaps his point could have been made better in the context of the U.S. student immigration protests. How did this protest display "weak ties," and why was "not much asked" of its participants in terms of risk and commitment? |
Certainly, both the Egypt and the U.S. protests started in the streets, but they spread via networks. To say that these two events were superficial and "did not ask too much of them" would be entirely incorrect and offensive to those involved, as many faced severe consequences for their participation, including the pos... |
The immigration demonstrations have had a far-reaching impact on the U.S. from a cultural and policy level, spurring dialogue and awareness from neighborhoods, all the way up to the highest reaches of government. The notion that people somehow lose their human nature in a digital realm is ludicrous. Even calling Facebo... |

P.K. Subban and Zdeno Chara aren't teammates, but they were Ivy League classmates this week. |
The two all-star defensemen attended Harvard Business School together, taking courses in "The Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports." |
The three-day program teaches "proven approaches for launching and managing creative products and portfolios, managing and marketing talent, assessing and determining when to make smaller versus blockbuster bets, identifying and capitalizing on market disruptions, and other strategic challenges," according to the schoo... |
It is designed for professionals in the talent industry, including athletes, musicians, actors, and agents. |
Chara and Subban shared some of their experiences on social media. |
Subban called Chara "an old acquaintance of mine" in a video he shared from the class on Thursday. |
Chara posted some thoughts on his Instagram account. |
"It's been (an) absolutely unbelievable experience and I love every piece of it, every minute, every class, such a great time to spend after the season," he said in the video. |
The Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins defensemen weren't the only professional athletes in the class. |
Michael Strahan, a former Super Bowl champion with the New York Giants and current TV personality, former NBA player Chris Bosh, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn, former NFL wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, and international soccer players Kaka, Mario Melchiot, Edwin van der Sar and Nuri Sahin were also in the group. |
The professor, Anita Elberse, shared a picture with her famous students on Instagram. |
"Learning different aspects of the business side and just such a learning experience," Chara said. "Really enjoying everything I am doing at Harvard and I am thankful to all the professors and participants." |

Dubai: Four words and hashtag. That’s all it took for a Twitter user to prove that social media can be a tool to bring people together and spread love. |
The short and sweet tweet received a lot of love online, with thousands of ‘likes’ and retweets on Twitter. |
Speaking about the reaction he received to the tweet, Shivam, who does not use his last name because of his disassociation with caste and religion, told Gulf News that it proved that people wanted to believe in the power of good. |
His wife, Bhawna, who also does not use a last name for similar reasons, has been a partner in his growth ever since he self-published his first book. |
“It started with a tweet about my first ever published Kindle book on religion and science,” he said. |
After she liked the tweet, things took off. However, their journey together was anything but easy. |
“It has been a roller coaster ride with a lot of learning, efforts and commitment. From being in two different parts of India to finally getting jobs in a single city, we both made consistent efforts to spend more time together and understand each other better. And this journey saw me publish two self help books which ... |
However, incidents like Shivam’s tweet are few and far between. Over the years, various studies have noted the rise in hate speech on social media platforms. Media marketing company Cision documented a 600 per cent increase in the amount of intolerant and hate speech in social media postings by Canadians between Novemb... |
Shivam, however, feels that those looking for personal growth and happiness are better off ignoring the negativity. |
“Like everything else in this world, Twitter too has its pros and cons. It gives us an amazing chance to meet so many people across the world, share countless ideologies and learn about new things every day. Yes, there has been an increasing trend of spewing hatred on all social media platforms but it’s most often prop... |
Shivam did believe, though, that a small amount of hatred was spewed because people had not learnt how to respectfully disagree. |
After a solid second week on Dancing With the Stars, Bindi Irwin and pro partner Derek Hough faced some setbacks going into their third week of the dancing competition. |
The two had a futuristic routine planned out to the theme song from The Jetsons, but when the music rights fell through, they had to start from scratch, learning a brand-new quickstep to The Jeffersons theme song with two days left. The 17-year-old wildlife activist was also dealing with an injured foot throughout the ... |
"Bindi’s in a lot of pain, her foot’s hurting her," Hough observed throughout their rehearsals. "Even though she’s not telling me, I can see it in her eyes." |
It wasn’t their best dance, but the judges praised the pair’s last-minute performance, and Hough took a moment backstage to gush about his partner’s progress. |
"When she first started, she walked in the room, never worn heels in her life, never danced in her life," he said. "The fact that she learned that dance in two days and went out there and did that, I’m in absolute awe of this woman, she’s amazing. I can’t even believe it." |
The pair also had some special fans in the audience. Jeffersons’ star Marla Gibbs said Irwin and Hough were "fantastic" and Bindi’s boyfriend, Chandler Powell, cheered her on from the audience, where he was seated behind her mom and younger brother. The two also posed for pictures together after the show. |
Bindi posted about Powell’s arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday, writing that the 18-year-old professional wakeboarder had flown in to see her compete. |
"He's here," Irwin captioned a sweet Instagram photo of the two. "Thank you for always making me laugh, helping me to ice my foot when it hurts, making me tea and hugging me when I'm tired. You're amazing." |
Despite their setbacks, Irwin and Hough finished with the fourth-highest score of the night, earning a 32 out of 40 from the judges, including an "8" from special guest judge, former DWTS champion Alfonso Ribeiro. |
