"Are 20% projects profitable? Email Print By Craig Buckler | November 14, 2012 | Business | General business | Marketing | Revenue 7 Apple has launched an internal initiative named "Blue Sky" which allows a number of employees to work on personal projects. Blue Sky appears similar to Google's 20% time where engineers spend one day per week working on systems which aren't related to their job. Employees are encouraged to develop something new or fix something which is broken. The policy led to the introduction of GMail and Maps - two of Google's most successful offerings."

A Christmas Carol is probably best known now as a story exploited by Hollywood repeatedly in straight adaptations (Disney's included) and altered versions such as the Bill Murray comedy Scrooged. Regardless of how it is now known it is certainly well known, and its anti-hero Scrooge represents curmudgeonly and stingy attitudes outside the context of the book. It was published a Christmas book in 1843 and is quite a simple tale but successful for that reason. Scrooge is avaricious, misanthropic and heartless, showing no feeling for the Christmas spirit After he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Marley, he sees visions of his past, present and future that inspire him to become a zealously kind and amiable individual who sends a turkey to his clerk Bob Cratchit and gives to Christmas charities generously. It is a somewhat saccharine tale and is not one of Dickens' finer works but the story itself is heartening and is a proposed alternative to the grim and stern Puritan values of the Victorian age.

"Game-based learning doesn't have to break the bank. That was the key point of my presentation at The Learning Assembly in Melbourne last week. Sure, you can spend an obscene amount of money on gaming technology if you want to, but you don't have to. Take Diner Dash for instance. In this free online game, you play the role of a waitress in a busy restaurant. As the customers arrive you need to seat them, take their order, submit the order to the chef, serve their food, transact their payment, clean their table, and take the dirty dishes back to the kitchen."
