  1. Cause and effect fallacy on Another Study Decries Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Pointing out that certain neurological centers are affected differently by sensory input based on its content (in this case video games that are violent) is a waste of our time. Giving it a weighted, biased, poorly cited spot on CNN is an outrage. Why aren't more people reporting on the therepeutic qualities of video games? Where is the study that shows there is a marked decrease in crime in areas where a highly anticipated violent movie is released? People are quick to draw cause and effect conclusions without looking at confounding evidence, but besides that, this study does not show a link between violent behavior and violent video games. It doesn't even give us the numbers from the studies. Why isn't CNN reporting responsibly?

  2. Besides QWERTY and hygiene? on Acoustic Sensors Make Any Surface a Touch Pad · · Score: 1

    We already have tons and tons of keyboards and many ways of manifesting them (see the laser keyboard and membrane keyboard noted above). What about customizable interfaces? As an artist and quasi-musician I am particularly interested in being able to customize my sonar interface to be implemented across my desktop as a personally intuitive keyboard, canvas, whatever.
