I haven’t looked at video games for a while, so I was glad to find this survey from goo Research on video game usage by children . I’m surprised that these two machines did so well; is this due to parents being cheap, to them having less worries about graphic violence in the older titles, not wanting to spoil the kids on photo-realism, or do kids really choose themselves to play these machines? Other rules included having to take turns with friends and siblings, letting other siblings have priority, having to ask permission each time, not being allowed to take a portable to the park, having parents vet PC games before play, not being allowed to buy whatever title one want, and only being allowed to play on specific days. Other answers include that it’s bad for the eyes, have a machine, used to play but got bored or just didn’t get into it, because there’s so much to choose from one doesn’t know what’s best, and too tired after returning home from school to play. read more

Police said that two Indian Punjabi men stole more than $1,000 from the Marlborough Country Convenience Store on Monday. The men told the storeowner that they were guruji, a type of Hindu priest, and that they could read his mind, police said. The clerk at that store said she felt bad to learn that the men scammed Patel. Police said one of the men was between 35 and 40 years old and weighs 200 pounds. Investigators warned that the men could try their tricks with other storeowners or clerks, especially those from India because they would share cultural similarities the men could take advantage of. read more
