Recently there's been chatter that Valve - the company behind the massively popular gaming service Steam - has been considering getting into the hardware business. Specifically, there have been rumors that the company has been toying with the idea of creating a proper set-top console which could potentially pose a threat to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

This is an interesting development. Console games have been the domain of the "Big Three" for years (XBox, Playstation, and Nintendo). Now, another player is threatening to break into the market. Steam is a digital distribution service with over 40 million active users. Users install the Steam software and then purchase and play various computer games through the Steam interface. When I was helping to develop an indie game a few years ago, it was considered a huge accomplishment to be listed on Steam. It boosted the game's exposure and user base significantly. It will be interesting to see if the console is released and how it fairs in the difficult-to-enter market.

We can't see how the street is immersed in a twitching, pulsing cloud of data. This is over and above the well-established electromagnetic radiation, crackles of static, radio waves conveying radio and television broadcasts in digital and analogue forms, police voice traffic. This is a new kind of data, collective and individual, aggregated and discrete, open and closed, constantly logging impossibly detailed patterns of behaviour. The behaviour of the street.

I just read about this recently, really fascinating. It turns out the same group Foldit, is working in a similar format to develop better methods of teaching math and science in schools. And because these digital solutions are available in a virtual world, they are able to use tools like the internet to bring together gamers all over the world and really "hive mind" solutions to these scientific problems. In the article I read, the scientists talk about the flexibility the gamers have in working with 3D puzzles, and how it doesn't take long at all to solve these visual puzzles because it's just a game, and with a little bit of guidance it doesn't take long at all to catch the gamers up to speed with how proteins and enzymes 'should' fit together. Obviously there are some flexible rules, otherwise the computer would have figured it out earlier. So I just thought this application was really fantastic, especially when networked to include potentially more of the public sphere. Makes me scientifically endlessly optimistic!
