US Videogame Sales Have Biggest Drop In 9 Years alphadogg writes 'The recession appears to have finally caught up with the video game market. Sales of video game hardware and software were down by around one-third in June compared to the same month last year. After initially showing positive growth as the US slid into recession, the latest figures mark the fourth month of declines and the largest year-on-year decline in almost 9 years. 'The first half of the year has been tough largely due to comparisons against a stellar first half performance last year, but still, this level of decline is certainly going to cause some pain and reflection in the industry,' said Anita Frazier, a games analyst with NPD Group. She added, 'The size of the decline could also point to consumers deferring limited discretionary spending until a big event (must-have new title, hardware price cut) compels them to spend.' The entire video game market in the US was worth $1.2 billion in June, down 31 percent from the same period last year, according to NPD Gro SlashdotVerizon Gives Social Media a TV Spot Verizon has launched two products that fall into what it is calling the 'social TV' service category: the Widget Bazaar application store and Internet Video on TV.

MacworldStop worrying, Hollywood - nobody is stealing your films with mobiles Why are movie studios so concerned at reviewers pirating movies when the data on the mobiles they are asked to hand over is much more sensitive - and poorly protected?Let's talk about hypothetical risks. If you go to a big preview screening in Leicester Square - a privilege given to the press, entertainment industry VIPs, and a fair number of punters who win radio phone-in prizes - you'll be asked to leave your mobile phone in a baggie behind a counter at the front of the cinema.The film industry says that this is a necessary precaution against the hypothetical losses that would result should someone use a mobile phone to 'camcord' (that is, record from the audience) a pre-release movie and leak it onto the internet. The film Wolverine (panned by 63% of critics according to Rotten Tomatoes, which also reports a $177,288,905 box office gross to date) is often cited as an example of how a film can be harmed by pre-release leaks.

Two teenagers respondIzzy Alderson Blench, aged 16 years, 11 months: teenagers DO read newspapersDespite the stir caused by 15-year-old Matthew Robson's report, I can't help noticing that the half of it I agree with is definitely not groundbreaking - any teenager could tell you that paying for things is unpopular and Facebook has infinite importance over Twitter. After all, the only people that use Twitter are celebrities with nothing else to do and bored old people who think they're connecting with the younger generation. Does anyone care that Miley Cyrus is 'eatin' an apple'. Really? Oh, and the other half of it does not account for anyone who isn't a 15-year-old boy living in London.I listen to the radio. I know many teenagers that specifically listen to a late-night chat show as they're going to bed, or a morning show when getting ready f GuardianWindows 7 Heading for Eventual Corporate Success Windows 7 is on its way to store shelves, but a new survey claims it won't appeal to the enterprise as much as microsoft would like.
