Developers are interested in what academics

But overall, I like to think that the attendance demonstrates that developers are interested in what academics might be able to tell them (again I will point out: no fruit was thrown)And all week, I talked with developers who were interested in what was going on with research, from the smallest to the largest companiesMaybe the issue is the "larger" communityIt's always easy to abstract and oversimplify at that levelBut I know that on an individual level, there are real conversations and collaborations going onI don't want this to turn into some rosy "it's better than we think" or "can't we all just get along" thing, but I do think that perhaps the situation is not as dire as it's hyped to beBut then again, I haven't gotte my evals back yet. 

And there are huge gaps in what we don't knowWhere is the research about sports games, to take just one example? Would like to experience wonderful life in MMORPG, here you need to buy some World of Warcraft Goldare on hot sale on all servers, especially on American serversYou can Buy FFXI Gil from us, a professional, loyal and reliable SWG Credits exchange corporation work group.Anyway, the point is, I enjoyed the exercise, and learned a lot from itI hope the audience did as well

"Yes, we know that Tom Cruise, whom we watching in "The Last Samurai" is that same guy from "Mission Impossible." But if, at the critical moment in the 19th century, Japanese film he were to whip out a plastic-explosive, pull off a latex mask and say, "Show me the money, $#%!" we would run screaming from the movie

"There's plenty interesting to say about where online gaming convergence is goingCross-over of "stuff" from game-to-game ain't it.

"The State of Play, an annual conference sponsored by New York Law School and Yale Law School, explores the next frontier in the evolution of cyberspace: virtual worlds.

Last year's inaugural event, "State of Play: Law, Games and Virtual Worlds," introduced the emerging legal, economic, cultural and sociological issues in these three-dimensional computer environmentsParticipants from a variety of disciplines discussed the impact of virtual worlds on real world law and the rise of law in virtual worldsEven without an expansive definition of "currency" it's a no-brainer to see this as a fraud against the game developer, the players, or the third-party arbitrage site.

Anyone out there got any indication of enforcement actions taken against these (increasingly common) hacks?
