<description><![CDATA[The Nook Color gets the Honeycomb hack.(Credit:Engadget)Google has an event slated for February 2 to show off its Android 3.0 operating system fortablets, code-named Honeycomb. Well, in advance of that preview an industrious Android enthusiast, who goes by the handle deeper-blue on the xdadevelopers' forum, has hacked the Nook Color to run a preview version of Honeycomb and has posted a video on YouTube.A custom version of Android firmware is already available for the Nook Color that essentially allows you to turn it into a full-fledged Android tablet (naturally, Barnes &amp; Noble doesn't authorize you &quot;root&quot; your Nook but plenty of people already have). But porting Honeycomb--an operating system truly designed for tablets--to the Nook has a lot of appeal to tech enthusiasts who see the Nook Color as an attractive and affordable tablet at $250.At this point, it's still a pretty crude port that's missing a lot of Honeycomb's core features, but deeper-blue has already improved performance over the last couple of days, so the future seems bright for Honeycomb on Nook.More: What's inside Google's Android 3.0 HoneycombVia Engadget<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Two things in gaming right now that are exciting even to non-hard-core gamers are Angry Birds and Microsoft's Kinect. They both allow for addictive gameplay without a lot of investment and knowledge of things like &quot;fragging&quot; and &quot;spawn camping.&quot; And now a hacker by the name of Joel Griffin Dodd has combined the two with a hacking tool he helped develop called KinEmote.It uses a controller, so it's not quite the fully immersive experience one can imagine being developed for the Kinect system, but it's a start.And Kinect hacking is still in its infancy, as is KinEmote. It's easy to envision a version in the near future that would let you manually pull back your birds to send them at those evil, smug pigs. That certainly sounds gratifying.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Gamespot)It's that time of the year again' a chance to look ahead at games we're really starting to get excited about. Only 13 games in our list are completely unique franchises while the rest consist of sequels, prequels, and reboots. Whether or not you consider that a good or bad thing, publishers are clearly looking to play it safe in 2011. Not surprisingly, a few stragglers from 2010's list appear again in our 2011 collection and we'd be shocked to see if all 40 listed here actually see the light of day before 2012. The 40 most anticipated games of 2011 (photos) All things considered, we think 2011 will certainly impress, especially when 2010 seemed to fizzle out in the second half of the year. Of course 2011 will also bring with it a new handheld console for us to experience, the Nintendo 3DS. Exclusivity-conscious gamers should also take note of some interesting numbers from our list. ThePlayStation 3 owns the most games with seven titles, theWii with only two, andXbox 360 with just one (two if you count the one it shares with a PC title). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride through our massive 40-game slideshow. We think we've covered just about everything, but if you're looking forward to a game in 2011 that we somehow missed, make sure to sound off in the comments section below. **Note: Games are in release date order (though it's likely many ship dates will change). <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Samsung TV's apps marketplace features 200 applications.(Credit:Samsung)Samsung has hit an important milestone with the apps marketplace on its HDTVs.According to the company, 1 million applications have been downloaded from its Samsung Apps since it launched in March. Samsung said that Hulu Plus, ESPN Next Level, CinemaNow, and Texas Holdem are among the &quot;the most frequently downloaded applications&quot; in its store. In addition, the company said that Samsung Apps now features 200 applications, including MLB.TV, Vudu, Netflix, and many others.Currently, Samsung offers its marketplace on over half of its 2010 line of HDTVs. The company said that it expects TV vendors to sell a total of 6.5 million HDTV units featuring applications by the end of the year. By 2012, it believes that market will expand to 20 million unit sales. Most major television makers also offer apps on their sets. And one of those companies--Vizio--is battling it out with Samsung for dominance in the HDTV market.According to research firm iSuppli, Vizio led the LCD market in overall shipments during the third quarter, nabbing 19.9 percent market share. Samsung came in second with 17.7 percent market share. But when it came to all television shipments to the U.S., Samsung was helped by an increase in plasma sales. The company led the way in overall TV shipments with 19.3 percent market share, besting Vizio's 17 percent overall market share.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A cardiologist at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, England, tomorrow will try to perform the world's first heart procedure using a robotic arm paired with advanced 3D mapping to treat a 63-year-old patient with atrial fibrillation (or AF, the most common arrhythmia).This CARTO-3 image of the left atrium shows the location of ablation lesions causing arrhythmia.(Credit:University of Leicester)The procedure, which will incorporate use of the CARTO-3 mapping software, comes just six months after Dr. Andr&amp;233' Ng became the first to perform a remote catheter ablation using the hospital's Amigo Robotic Catheter System, and just eight years after the hospital began performing ablation to treat AF.In the procedure, a surgeon (or bot) inserts thin wire catheters into the heart that direct energy to the parts of the heart causing the arrhythmia, thereby burning the faulty tissue and disconnecting that pathway.While catheter ablation has become the most common way to treat patients with AF--the hospital alone performs 200 a year--it is a long and imperfect procedure. So Ng and his team developed the robotic arm system, controlled from the next room, to improve the procedure, avoid being in the X-ray zone, and render lead aprons a thing of the past.By being the first in the world to use the Amigo Robotic Catheter System, the hospital is also the first to pair this system with the CARTO-3 3D mapping system, which is the latest version of a widely-used mapping and navigation system.&quot;It is hoped that using the two advanced technologies together would improve the efficacy and safety of these complex procedures,&quot; Ng says. &quot;The versatility of the new Amigo system also allows for cross-platform use of different types of catheters and different mapping systems, which greatly enhance treatment options.&quot;Working with the University of Leicester and the Leicester Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Ng plans to lead two clinical research trials at Glenfield Hospital should Tuesday's procedure prove successful.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is the priority patching schedule Microsoft suggests for today&amp;39's three bulletins.(Credit:Microsoft)Microsoft issued three security bulletins today fixing 11 holes, including one rated &quot;critical&quot; that could be used by an attacker to send a malicious e-mail that is previewed only or opened by default in Word. The priority update, MS10-087, resolves five issues affecting all currently supportedMicrosoft Office products. The bulletin is rated &quot;critical&quot; for Office 2007 and Office 2010 &quot;due to a preview pane vector in Outlook that could trigger the vulnerability when a customer views a specially crafted malicious RTF (Rich Text Format) file,&quot; a Microsoft Security Response Center blog post said. Outlook is not directly affected, however, because the vulnerabilities can only be exploited through Microsoft Word.  &quot;One of the most dangerous aspects of this vulnerability is that a user doesn't have to open a malicious e-mail to be infected,&quot; said Joshua Talbot, security intelligence manager at Symantec Security Response. &quot;All that is required is for the content of the e-mail to appear in Outlook's Reading Pane. If a user highlights a malicious e-mail to preview it in the Reading Pane, their machine is immediately infected. The same holds true if a user opens Outlook and a malicious e-mail is the most recently received in their in-box' that e-mail will appear in the Reading Pane by default and the computer will be infected.&quot;  That update also addresses an Office vector for a vulnerability referred to as &quot;DLL Preloading&quot; or &quot;Binary planting&quot; related to the way Windows handles dynamic-link library files and which plagued numerous applications recently and led to attacks in the wild.  The second update customers should focus on is labeled MS10-088. It resolves two holes in Microsoft PowerPoint that could allow remote code execution if a user opens a malicious PowerPoint file.  And finally, there is MS10-089, which plugs four holes in Unified Access Gateway, a component of Microsoft Forefront. The most significant of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if a user clicks on a malicious link on a Web site. This update is offered through the Microsoft Download Center and is not available through Microsoft Update at this time.  Microsoft is not aware of any active attacks seeking to exploit the vulnerabilities addressed in this month's release, the company said. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Walt Disney Family Museum is a treasure-trove of archival items from throughout the life and career of the great animator.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)SAN FRANCISCO--It's hard to imagine anything in a museum featuring hundreds of original Disney concept sketches and art pieces, including dozens of Mickey Mouse, being as impressive as the art itself.But try visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio here and not coming away with the strong impression that the way the facility was designed, with its wide variety of beautiful digital displays, imaginative use of video screens, innovative touch-screens, audio clips of Walt himself nearly everywhere you go, and much more, is nearly as compelling an experience as the opportunity to see first-hand the origins of the greatest animation empire the world has ever seen.As part of my ongoing Road Trip at Home series, I took the opportunity to visit the museum--which opened its doors just over a year ago, on October 1, 2009--and I went without any preconceived notions beyond the sense that I was in for an hour or two of peeking into the life of the man who brought us such favorites as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, and of course, movies such as &quot;Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,&quot; &quot;Fantasia,&quot; &quot;Lady and the Tramp,&quot; and many, many more.Walt Disney's wonderful life (photos) It's important to note, at the outset, that this is a museum about Walt Disney--the man, and not the company. And it's nothing like Disneyland. To be sure, there's no way to tell his story without covering the accomplishments of his company--actually, his companies. But anyone expecting rides, or attractions beyond wall after wall of art pieces, figurines from his films, videos about elements of his filmmaking, and things like that, is in for a surprise.That said, it is a glorious experience. As I mentioned earlier, I went in expecting to be there for an hour or two at most, and ended up staying for nearly five. In part, that was because I wanted to give myself the maximum chance to see and digest as much as I could, but it was also because I found myself lingering in each gallery much longer than I thought I would--glued to certain pieces, trying to take in as much as possible. Because some of the videos were fairly short, I can recall hearing at least one of them repeat at least 20 times as I inspected the pieces nearby.The museum is arranged chronologically, from the earliest stages of Disney's life and career, to his first days in Hollywood, to the beginnings of the Walt Disney Studio, to a special look at the first-ever animated feature film, &quot;Snow White,&quot; and on to his greater ambitions after that huge success, and then to a glimpse at what were probably his most difficult years, the World War II era (see video below on Disney's participation in the making of U.S. military propaganda films). The museum then wraps up with looks at the post-war year, Disney's interaction with the natural world, his entrance into television, and finally the end of his life.InnovationThe story of Disney's life and career cannot be told without emphasizing the innovations and breakthroughs credited to him and those who worked for and with him.That groundbreaking work included:&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Creating the first-ever animated film (&quot;Steamboat Willie,&quot; starring Mickey Mouse, 1928) to succeed at synchronizing the sound and the images.&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Creating the first animated film to use three-strip Technicolor (&quot;Flowers and Trees,&quot; 1932).&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' The development and use of the two-story-tall multiplane camera, which was used in the making of 1937's &quot;The Old Mill&quot; and &quot;Snow White&quot; and which, according to the museum, &quot;came into ever greater prominence in the features that followed. The crane moved down into the scene, (approaching and passing) some scenic elements while others remain in the background. This movement creat(ed) a convincing illusion of depth--an effect impossible with a normal flat camera table.&quot;&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Making the first feature-length animated film (&quot;Snow White,&quot; in 1937.&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Making the first film that employed Fantasound, a multi-channel sound system that came at least 20 years before stereo and surround sound were in widespread use.&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Being the first Hollywood studio to make its own series TV programming.&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Becoming the first filmmakers to create an animated feature using the CinemaScope widescreen technology (1955's &quot;Lady and the Tramp.&quot;)&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Operating the first everyday monorail system in America (at Disneyland in 1959).&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Creating the first regular color TV program (NBC's &quot;Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color&quot; in 1961).&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Creating the next-generation of optical printers, which let Disney Studio to mix live-action and animation in a single film (&quot;The Three Caballeros&quot; in 1945 and &quot;Mary Poppins&quot; in 1964).&amp;149'&amp;nbsp' Developing in 1963 audio-animatronics, a robotics system used in shows and attractions at Disneyland. Blending digital and analogOne of the things I liked most about the museum is the elegance with which its experience designers blended digital video into what otherwise appeared to be analog displays. For example, in one of the first rooms, you come across a series of what at first appear to be movie posters in lobby window boxes. But then you notice that the images inside the frames are moving--each one its own screen, and they're being used to showcase the animation from the &quot;Alice Comedies,&quot; one of the first of Walt Disney's animation film projects. The museum route soon takes you into a gallery celebrating Mickey Mouse, and on one wall are 348 individual frames from &quot;Steamboat Willie.&quot; The frames of animation make up just 16 seconds of the 7-minute film, but they cover the entire wall. What makes it really clever is that in the middle, there is a four-by-four grid of video screens in the same frames that are constantly showing the film itself, each succeeding screen one frame ahead in the sequence from the last.Another interesting digital device accompanies a notebook of visual effects in films like &quot;Pinocchio,&quot; &quot;Fantasia,&quot; and others. But the book itself is too fragile for the public to personally inspect. So visitors are treated to a digital tabletop display where they can use their fingers to change pages, zoom in and zoom out, and so on. And maybe my favorite of all was a long ribbon-like strip of digital screen on which a steady stream of animation and video detailing the Walt Disney Studio's post-war development (see video below).Throughout the museum Walt Disney greets visitors with video explanations of different elements of his filmmaking process, making it feel like the great man is there with you. To a certain extent.Yet the museum is also, clearly, a celebration of the analog. Beautiful original concept art abounds, as do pristine figurines, colorful publicity posters, decades-old Mickey Mouse merchandise, haunting storyboards from films like &quot;Fantasia,&quot; and so much more.There's also delightful artifacts like the Carolwood Pacific, the scale-model train that Disney had installed at his Los Angeles-area home, and which could, in theory, carry thirty people at a time.To visit this museum is to develop a much richer appreciation for the breadth of what Disney created, and how he lived, long before the age of multiplexes, Michael Eisner, or even Pixar, had come along. And then, of course, there's what may be the piece-de-resistance: A case brimming with Oscars. More then 20 of them, including one truly unique statue that was never, and will never be replicated: an Oscar featuring seven mini-Oscars to celebrate Disney's achievement with &quot;Snow White.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is a picture of, and where it was taken, you could win a prize in the CNET Picture of the Week challenge.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Update (Monday, 10:31 a.m. PDT): The answer to last week's challenge--which 79 people got--is the First Division Monument, in President's Park, just south of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, in Washington, D.C. The monument honors soldiers who fought in World War I, though it has additions which honor soldiers who fought in subsequent wars. Thanks to everyone who played, and to all, please come back Thursday for this week's challenge.If there's one thing certain about this, it's that it honors a group of people who gave a lot of themselves. But what is it, and where is it located If you know, you could win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Week challenge. If you have those answers, please e-mail them to me no later than 6 p.m. PDT Friday (to daniel--dot--terdiman--at--cnet--dot--com, and PLEASE include &quot;Picture of the Week&quot; in the subject line). I'll choose a winner at random from among everyone who sends in all three pieces of the correct answer. Please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not the winner. I get dozens of responses. Also, I've turned off comments because some people would post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own.One caveat: no individual can win more than two prizes. Also, for everyone who played regularly during Road Trip 2010, please note that this is the ninth of the weekly Picture of the Week challenges. With Road Trip 2010 officially finished--and therefore no more new Road Trip pictures per se--the challenge is now taking place weekly, each Thursday, and the photos could come from anywhere, not just Road Trip 2010 locations, and might be related to stories I've written in the past. So, please have fun playing today, and then come back each Thursday. For most of the summer, Geek Gestalt was on Road Trip 2010. After driving more than 18,000 miles in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest and the Southeast over the last four years, I drove 5,266 miles this summer looking for the best in technology, science, military, nature, aviation and more throughout the American Northeast.

<description><![CDATA[The high-profile startup Square has filed a lawsuit against a company to clear up the rights to its invention which allows you to pay for products by swiping your credit card into a card reader plugged into your mobile phone.Square and its chairman Jim McKelvey have filed a lawsuit against REM Holdings 3 because of a dispute over the filing of a patent that is fundamental to Square&amp;'s business.Based on Square&amp;'s version of the story, inventor McKelvey couldn&amp;'t sell a piece of glass art because he couldn&amp;'t accept a credit card as a payment. He moved on to invent the simple reader device that plugs into a mobile phone and carries out the transaction via the phone network.McKelvey worked with Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, to set up Square as a startup to exploit the invention. About the same time, in February, 2009, McKelvey consulted his friend Robert Morley to help build a prototype magnetic card reader that could be plugged into a cell phone jack.They built a working prototype which used a circuit designed by Morley. That circuit takes the card&amp;'s magnetic stripe and turns it into an audio signal the iPhone can process. They contacted a patent attorney, David Chervitz, to search for other patents. Then Chervitz filed a patent application in June, 2009. The patent was granted &amp;8212' No. 7,810,729 &amp;8212' but McKelvey&amp;'s name was inadvertantly left off the application. Only Morley was awarded the patent.Morley, an associate professor of electrical engineering at Washington University, said in an interview in 2009 that he had planned to assign the patent to Square in exchange for shares in the company, but the two sides couldn&amp;'t agree on the amount of shares. Square says they tweaked the design and did not use Morley&amp;'s circuit. In any case, Square argues that the patent should have had both names.Previous Story: Mingleverse picks up $1.4M in seed funding for video conferencing with cardboard cutoutsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: credit card readerCompanies: REM Holdings 3, SquarePeople: Jack Dorsey, Jim McKelvey, Robert Morley          Tags: credit card readerCompanies: REM Holdings 3, SquarePeople: Jack Dorsey, Jim McKelvey, Robert MorleyDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Biofuels company LS9&amp;'s new CEO Ed Dineen says he is planning to quickly ramp up the company&amp;'s presence in Brazil.Dineen was recruited away from petrochemicals and polymers company LyondellBasell, where he was chief operating officer and helped build the company&amp;'s presence in Brazil. His background seems to align with the new direction that LS9 will go in, which includes making inroads in booming new economies, adding more partnerships to get its biofuels production to commercial scale and expanding its chemicals offerings. Dineen named Brazil as a first stop for growth, but India and China are also of interest, he said.&amp;''The Brazilian economy has been a tremendous (success) story over the last eight to 10 years,&amp;'' Dineen said, noting that the location will allow the company easy access to raw sugar cane as feedstock. &amp;''We believe our technology can ultimately play in many regions.&amp;''With the appointment of Dineen, it looks like the company is ready for its next stage of growth. Its previous CEO, Bill Haywood, was originally brought in to get the company out of lab mode and into production.&amp;''There was a consensus belief that this company can do much more in breadth of feedstocks and chemicals and geography,&amp;'' Dineen said of his appointment.LS9 opened a demo plant in Florida earlier this year (pictured, right), and originally started out making biodiesel and jet fuel. Now, it&amp;'s lookingto expand on multiple fronts &amp;8212' more regions, partnerships, making chemicals as well as fuels. The company&amp;'s biofuels brethren Codexis and Amyris both had modest IPOs this year, which Dineen called &amp;''a good sign.&amp;''&amp;''We need to develop broader capabilities if that&amp;'s a path we want to follow, but I&amp;'m confident we can do that. We&amp;'re not at the stage right now, but that could change relatively quickly,&amp;'' he said.Besides a Brazilian play, LS9 will be looking to do more partnerships &amp;8212' it should be noted that Amyris inked a number of partnerships with big names like Bunge Limited, Cosan, Royal Dutch Shell and Total. LS9 currently has a partnership with Chevron and another with Proctor &amp;amp' Gamble to make renewable chemicals for consumer goods.As we&amp;'ve noted in the past, one of LS9&amp;'s strengths has been that is uses specially-engineered microbes capable of converting plant-based materials into fuels and chemicals in just one step, compared to the multiple-phase processes of some of its competitors. The company raised $25 million last year, but would need to do another round of fundraising in order to get to commercial-scale. Another potential plus &amp;8212' assuming that it all can get to commercial scale &amp;8212' is that LS9 claims its technology is feedstock-flexible, though for its next play it looks like the company is focusing on using sugar cane. But given that waste looks to have an edge as a feedstock, Dineen says LS9 is at an advantage because the company&amp;'s processes can expand to use a variety of materials, including waste, to convert into biofuels.When asked how soon the company would like to get going in the Brazilian market, Dineen said he&amp;'s got a flight out there planned for January. So, in his words: &amp;''Very quickly.&amp;''Next Story: On the GreenBeat: Indian solar market heats up, OriginOil wraps carbon and algae fuel pilot Previous Story: 3 things to do if your domain is hijackedPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: biochemicals, biofuels, Brazil, sugar caneCompanies: Amyris, Codexis, Ls9, LyondellBasell, Procter &amp;amp' Gamble, Shell, TotalPeople: Ed Dineen          Tags: biochemicals, biofuels, Brazil, sugar caneCompanies: Amyris, Codexis, Ls9, LyondellBasell, Procter &amp;amp' Gamble, Shell, TotalPeople: Ed DineenIris Kuo is the VentureBeat's lead GreenBeat writer.

<description><![CDATA[Since moving its not-for-profit venture online in 1995, New York-based Green Map System has made online maps of sustainable initiatives accessible to keen greens everywhere. Its selection of hand-picked mapmakers in 50 countries are responsible for the site''s 450+ maps, facilitating global sustainability from a grassroots level. Ethical stores, green spaces and recycling sites are just some of the sites the maps help people discover.The project''s impact will hit a whole new level with the introduction of Open Green Map: a community site that makes the project accessible to all, letting users add new locations as well as exploring the recommendations of others. Participants can bring entries to life with Flickr photos or YouTube videos to support their text descriptions. The site has also boosted its usefulness with the development of applications for mobile devices. Users can now upload content the moment they discover it, and log in to find the nearest fair-trade coffee shop or ethical fashion store whilst out and about.Combining the expansion of the mobile internet and the desire to live green, Open Green Maps uses technology to connect communities in the real world. As well as making it much easier for users to track down world-changing initiatives in their own neighbourhoods, the site might help foreign ecopreneurs discover new ideas to introduce to their home markets. As the tagline goes, ''Think global, map local''.

<description><![CDATA[Social news site Reddit has graciously decided to share its end of year growth numbers in a company blog post. While the company may have grown from 250 million to more than 829 million users, possibly the most interesting inclusion was that their search feature went from &amp;''sucked&amp;'' to &amp;''works.&amp;''Once might say that search is one of Reddit&amp;'s most important features, giving users the ability to find the various pieces of content posted by users and share it with their social networks. According to a post in July, Reddit fixed its search issues by using IndexTank, a website search tool.While fixing search may have helped with growth numbers, many speculate that a major factor was the ongoing struggle by competitor Digg.com. The company may have had a competitive advantage in the beginning, but changes and unsatisfied users may have added to Reddit&amp;'s success. Just a few months ago, Reddit reported seeing an uptick in page views as well as other numbers.Growth may also have been seen from a successful &amp;''secret santa&amp;'' campaign the company recently launched for the holidays. Created by a user, redditgifts.com matches anyone interested in giving gifts with a random Reddit user. More than 17,000 Reddit users from 90 countries were exchanging gifts as of Christmas Day.Reddit, which is owned by media company Conde Nast, has about 10 employees.

<description><![CDATA[Bing Gordon accepted one of the video game industry&amp;'s highest honors last night: He became the latest recipient of a  lifetime achievement award from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, a prestigious video-game association that stages the Dice Summit in Las Vegas.Gordon, a partner at venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp;amp' Byers, has made smart investments in the leaders of the new video game industry, Ngmoco (acquired by Japanese mobile game firm DeNA for up to $403 million) and Zynga, which is valued at more than $5 billion. And in his first video game career, he spent more than 25 years at Electronic Arts,  working with game developers to  produce some of the best video games  ever made. Gordon drew accolades from his colleagues and got a standing ovation.During his acceptance speech, he rattled off a long poem from memory. The end of it caught my attention, as he said, &amp;''P.S. Thanks for the honor, now Ia4a4d better get off, because therea4a4s an after-party with Dean Takahashi dressed as Lara Croft.&amp;''Gordon thanked many of his colleagues for &amp;''giving me the chance to reinvent myself.&amp;'' He added, &amp;''Twenty five years later, we are all an overnight success.&amp;'' One of the gems from the poem: &amp;''Today our industry is experiencing reframing' but recognize this: we are all in the golden age of gaming.&amp;''Gordon is known for his quirks. He traveled frequently to Africa and learned tribal dance. One tribal leader named his son after Gordon.Gordon may be remembered for investing money in Zynga relatively early. One of Zyngaa4a4s  games,  CityVille, soared to more than 100 million in less than two months and won the award for Best Social Networking game last night. Gordon, quite  naturally, is already at level 60  in CityVille, as high as you can get. Mark Pincus, chief executive of Zynga, said in a video message that Gordon plays Zynga&amp;'s games more than anybody.During the accolades, it came out that Gordon wrote a paper on &amp;''managing convicts on a strawberry farm&amp;'' to get into Stanford University. He performed drama. He&amp;'s adept at ice hockey and lacrosse. His brother is married to his wife&amp;'s sister.Rich Hilleman, chief creative director at Electronic Arts, said that Bing&amp;'s comments often have to be translated from &amp;''Binglish.&amp;'' But Hilleman, game designer Will Wright, and others said that Gordon is frequently brilliant (with one of them saying, &amp;''you can&amp;'t judge a book by its cover.&amp;'' Pincus said, a4AThe  scariest thing about Bing is that he is usually  righta4 &amp;8212' except for that comment about me dressing up as Lara Croft, the video game character from Tomb Raider. About 15 people came up to me after the speech and asked where my Lara Croft outfit was. Thanks, Bing. Now I can&amp;'t get that image out of my head.The full poem is below. And check out my video interview with Gordon below from the red carpet, before last night&amp;'s awards ceremony.The Golden Age of GamingCan a computer make you cryHow many cool things can you ship before you dieHow many best friends have been made on your development teamsIs anything better than creating a new a4Alanguage of dreamsa4.If ita4a4s in the game, ita4a4s in the game'So whata4a4s in your personal hall of fameAre you like Daisycutter, a fire-balling wizardWill Disneyworld ever again be as much fun as BlizzardWherea4a4d that truck come from We transformed John MaddenInto football fanaticsa4a4 equivalent of Tinkerbell plus Aladdin.Now that Mario and Cityville have proven to be bigger than Titanic,Which is your game of the year, whata4a4s your golden mechanicWe remember the 80a4a4s, when games were geeky, uncool.We were the high potential kids bored with teachers, and lectures and school.We turned Dr J into a software artist, ended a4ADinkety Dink Dink,a4And when the going got tough, we took the Bard out for a drink.25 years later, wea4a4re an overnight success'Boys tout their COD scores to girls, and impress.Guild management skills get you promoted to VP,And Phorthor pays you to play his account, if youa4a4re at UBC.Virtual goods and freemium have become investable, magic wordsWe remember when Bill Budge was the only game-making non-nerd.Pogo-type badges are imitated these days in enterprise,Xbox Live achievements are used in online universities, Best Buys.FIFA camera angles are adopted in televised sports,And Gameface avatars are showing up in all sortsOf websites.
