Video Games: Commission welcomes progress on protection of minors in 23 EU Member States, but asks for improvement of industry c

The European video games sector is dynamic, with expected revenue of € 7.3 billion by the end of 2008. However, public concerns that video games can cause aggressive behaviour, heightened by school shootings such as in Helsinki (Finland, November 2007), have led several national authorities to ban or block video games such as "Manhunt 2". In response, the European Commission has surveyed existing measures protecting minors from harmful video games across the 27 EU Member States. 20 EU Member States now apply PEGI (Pan European Games Information), an age-rating system developed by industry, with EU support, since 2003. In the Commission's view, industry must invest more to strengthen and in particular to regularly update the PEGI system so that it becomes a truly effective pan-European tool.

Facebook announces tighter privacy controls

Facebook is rolling out tighter privacy controls that allow users to decide which friends can see their profile information and other personal details, the popular social-networking site announced during a news briefing at its Palo Alto headquarters Tuesday. Facebook's more than 67 million users will be able to better distinguish between friends, family and co-workers and share information accordingly, the company said. The changes will take effect Thursday. Facebook also showed off an instant-messaging, or chat, feature that it plans to launch in coming weeks. Unlike with other features on the site, users will be able to communicate with each other in real time. Privacy has been a touchy subject for Facebook. Although it offers more controls than most social networks, it twice has come under fire from users who didn't like the way their

A guide to privacy controls in Facebook

Facebook says it respects its members and believes they should have full control over who can view and access their information. Rather than limit that access to everything or nothing -- or to everyone or no one -- Facebook has created privacy controls so members can pick and choose from several levels of access for each of the site's features. Be aware, however, that the default settings tend to allow more access than less, so if you want to limit what others can view, you should consider revising these settings.

Buckyballs Can Store Concentrated Hydrogen

Pickens brings news that researchers from Rice University have discovered that it's possible to store hydrogen inside buckyballs. Hydrogen can be an excellent power source, but it is notoriously difficult to store. The buckyballs can contain up to 8% of their weight in hydrogen, and they are strong enough to hold it at a density that rivals the center of Jupiter. "Using a computer model, Yakobson's research team has tracked the strength of each atomic bond in a buckyball and simulated what happened to the bonds as more hydrogen atoms were packed inside. Yakobson said the model promises to be particularly useful because it is scalable, that is it can calculate exactly how much hydrogen a buckyball of any given size can hold, and it can also tell scientists how overstuffed buckyballs burst open and release their cargo.

US Spies Use Custom Video Games for Training

Wired reports that the US Defense Intelligence Agency has just acquired three PC-based video games which they will use to train the next wave of analysts. The games are short, but they have branching story lines that change depending on how a trainee reacts to various problems. Quoting: "'It is clear that our new workforce is very comfortable with this approach,' says Bruce Bennett, chief of the analysis-training branch at the DIA's Joint Military Intelligence Training Center. Wired.com had an opportunity to play all three games, Rapid Onset, Vital Passage and Sudden Thrust. The titles may conjure images of blitzkrieg, but the games themselves are actually a surprisingly clever and occasionally surreal blend of education, humor and intellectual challenge, aimed at teaching the player how to think.
