That's Clive Thompson who wrote the article for Wired and Steven Johnson who wrote the book "Everything Bad Is Good For You" and yes, he does kinda look like Don Johnson. The names are all similar so I understand the confusion.
haha, the difference is if you count the comments in this article, the # at the top is +1 over the number of actual comments you are able to display....they completed annihilated the comment, but their counter reveals the censorship. how many other articles/comments have had things stealth-deleted? this is the end for me. i am sick of the bulls**t google videos and blogs. anyway, my original comment is still being echoed by people like LucerinRed, so f**k the haters of truth: <a class="user" href="http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=8656">http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=8656</a> "the company is dominating the market, through what Iwata notes as disruptive software, such as the Brain Training line of games, which have collectively sold well over 5 million copies in Japan"bpapa: the first game came out in may 2005 and between that game and its 2 sequels, 5 million copies have been sold in 10 months...that means 83% of DS owners in japan have this game. that rate of adoption is faster than the DS selling 6 million units in 14 months. also, the wikipedia claims that the sequel had 850,000 orders for retail...you realize that this is almost double the number of xbox units sold in japan since the 2002 launch? this game is huge and posting it to digg like you found the f**king warp whistle is not cool. this is why "SAGE" gets spammed, because there is not a "f**kING KILL IT WITH FIRE" button on digg.Aikinai: check out padict.sf.net - full on kanji interface for any palm os device...destroys everything else i've ever seen. even grades your kanji and shows you how to draw.so to digg in general: FYAD...you were not the first with social bookmarking, and you have already been supplanted by sites not dominated by 14y/o blogspammers and n00bs. see you in hell, kevin rose fans.
A article came out in ONM last month about the game. Looks good and promotes the New Ways to Play movement Nintendo have decided to go in with stuff like Electroplankton and Animal Crossing. The Japanese versions are amazingly popular-hopefully they will be a hit over here.
Good point with DDR, it is an awesome cardio workout. DDR does increase memory and reflex skills as well. A great article to read. I always tell my mother to stop bugging me about playing 8 straight hours of video games. Now I have scientific proof other than my own opinion and experience.
I have been working in the brain fitness space since 2001 and we have come along way. There has been significant scientific studies over the last 5 years that illustrate how we can maintain and develop our cognitive skills through our lifespan. Our company has started to launch pilots that provide more efficacy to our software. I truly believe the next 5 years will see a lot of positive developments in this area.Michaelwww.fitbrains.com
