...sugar water you are asked to swallow is this: that the games industry, now a $10 billion business, bigger than Hollywood, will never grow up. No matter how mainstream the potential audience gets, they will always want to play wizards, shoot zombies, skateboard, wrestle. Female characters are fine, but they must wear bikinis and have figures unlike any woman who isn't nine inches tall and made out of plastic. Games are good if they have the loudest bangs, the coolest aliens and the most gore. Not everyone in the industry has their head buried in the sandbox like this...
...told, North American vehicle sales are expected to grow to 18.4 million a year by 2008, an increase of 1.6 million vehicles since 2002. The transplants alone are adding enough capacity for an additional 1 million vehicles. Hyundai is building a plant in Montgomery, Ala.--the first Korean auto-assembly factory in the U.S.--to make Sonata sedans and Santa Fe SUVs. Mercedes-Benz (owned by DaimlerChrysler, based in Stuttgart, Germany) is doubling capacity at its SUV facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala. And BMW recently expanded its plant in Spartanburg, S.C., where lines run overtime to produce Z4 roadsters...
...shows me a Tupperware container holding what looks like green tea ground to powder. It's mold, a key ingredient that is mixed into the steamed rice, which is then spread onto platforms in a sauna-like, cedar-paneled chamber, where the heat and humidity help the mold spores grow. To this mixture Doi will add yeast and water to trigger fermentation...
...that all of this mess is due to the swing voters. In the 43 years since JFK beat Nixon on coolness points in the first televised presidential debates, the style-over-substance junta has come to rule this nation with an iron-fist. If their influence continues to grow unchecked, I project that we will see presidential debates replaced with Zoolander-style “walk offs” no later than 2016. Then again, this may not be such a bad thing, as it couldn’t hurt to have a leader with grace, poise and physique...
...debate about the use of embryonic stem cells to grow replacement tissue (brain, liver, etc.) is about to get much more complex now that scientists have turned stem cells from mouse embryos into viable eggs. The report in Science set researchers' imaginations ablaze. Could this technique provide an endless supply of human eggs? And since scientists turned cells from both female and male mice into eggs, could it overturn traditional notions of parenthood? Could males make egg cells? Could gay couples produce genetic offspring? So far, the research holds promise only for gay mice...
