Brain Injury Turns Boozer Into Mr Perfect
| October 19, 2010
Just hours before Ken was struck down by the brain injury, he had been drinking heavily on one of his typical evenings out. The next morning Tracey, 47, found him collapsed on floor. He had stopped breathing and Tracey had to resuscitate him.
Ken said: “I lost 50 to 70% of my memory, I had to learn to walk and talk again. “I asked if it was down to the alcohol and the doctors said no. It was basically just a time bomb ticking. “I don’t touch a drop now. Tracey says it’s turned me into a better person.” Tracey added: “They do say that out of those who survive from a haemorrhage, eight out of 10 relationships go down the pan because people change but I’ve always said that he couldn’t have got any worse.”
How to Make a (Good) Living As a Human Lab Rat
| October 19, 2010
It became very clear to me sometime in my early 20s that working for a living was a complete scam.
After a couple of years spent clocking in 40-hour weeks, I realized that I wanted nothing to do with a system that offered me such meager compensation and ate up so much of my time. In a perfect world, my time would be mine to travel, learn to play the melodica and the sitar, download pornography, cry myself to sleep, play video games, cry in the shower, watch countless episodes of “Justice League Unlimited” in an unbroken stream and visit the finest restaurants in town, where I could sneak off into the bathroom and cry in seclusion.
And so I became a lab rat.
Microsoft Warns of Kinect Shortages
| October 19, 2010
Microsoft is now warning about the possibility of Kinect hardware shortages due to high pre-order demand. It looks like their claims of 3 million units to be sold before the end of the year are feasible after all. In other news, sales for the Playstation Move controller have been less than expected.
In the meantime Sony seems to have had lower than expected sales of their motion controller for the Playstation 3, the Playstation Move. In the United States, estimated sales have been tallied to about around 300,000 units. Across the globe sales of Sony’s Move controller have exceeded expectations in Europe, with over 1.5 million units now sold since it launched late last month.
