My name is Jeff Tunnell, and all I have ever wanted to do with my career is make fun games. In order to do that, I have started companies, raised money, sold companies, ran studios, hired many people, and maybe sold a little of my soul. MBG is a place for me to help people that want to get into the game business learn how to do so, perhaps with less pain than was inflicted on me. I hope to help you with game design issues, business strategy, and even some marketing advice. I'll cover anything that can help you realize your dream of making great games.
We just came off a great exit with PushButton Labs where we made the PushButton Engine, an Open Source, Flash game engine, and games like Social City for Facebook. Prior to PBL, I was co-founder of Dynamix (sold to Sierra) and GarageGames (sold to IAC). I have produced and directed over 70 games including The Incredible Machine, Trophy Bass, and Starsiege: Tribes.
Here some extremely old history that has been carried around since I started this blog.
Jeff Tunnell's Claim to fame summary: Co-founder of Dynamix, a development studio for Sierra/Vivendi/Universal where I designed, produced, or executive produced over 70 original game titles including The Incredible Machine, Trophy Bass, Starsiege, and Tribes. Currently co-founder of GarageGames, where our biggest claim to fame is selling the Torque Game Engine to Indie developers for only $100 per programmer (Torque used to be the game engine behind Tribes, but now is available in 2D, as a next generation shader engine, on XBox360, and is being developed for portable platforms and Playstation as well).
Longer Version: I've been making games longer than most people have been playing them. In 1981, I bought my first Apple II computer and immediately started the world's first software store, Computertutor. I don't have proof it was the first, but I know that I beat the guys that did claim they were first. While I was nailing the baggies of Sierra's adventure games to my outside bedroom wall (we cut another door into our house), I was frantically programming Electronic Playground in Applesoft BASIC and trying to get into the business.
After moving the store from my house to a real location, I met Damon Slye. He was working on Stellar 7 and he knew 6502 Assembly, instantly making him a God in my eyes, so I hired him to work in my store. I asked Damon to write some fast graphics code for my game, and the result was so awesome that I quickly realized that coding was not going to be my ticket, so I concentrated on design, production, and learning to run the business.
A couple of months later, I sold off the software store, and Damon and I started Software Entertainment Company (SEC, don't worry, the names get better later), a company to sell our two games. We put everything we had into that company, but found out it was already too late to get into the industry with little money.
Electronic Arts had just raised the whopping sum of five million dollars, and several of the other publishing companies were getting bigger by the minute. I remember the day that I told Damon we should start a development company. He asked, "what is a development company?", because they didn't exist at the time.
So, we started Dynamix (see, I told you names get better) with absolutely no money, but some intellectual property in the form of code and games. Soon, we had a contract with Electronic Arts. It was the usual "hook, line, and sinker" contract (more like a book) stating the EA had First Option and First Right of Refusal on all of our products. We were starving, there were no such thing as Intellectual Property lawyers to warn us off, so we took it, hook, line, and sinker.
To be continued…
lol, I'm hooked. Please continue soon…

Roughly fifteen years ago, when I was in first grade, you were involved in putting out a game with Sierra called Turbo Science. I don't know how much you personally worked on that particular project, but looking back, I think that game may have had a profound effect on my scientific development.
I tracked down an old copy of that game today, and, in playing it, I realize how challenging so many of the questions actually are. I am a successful college student today, but nothing around today would have put my little first-grade mind into its zone of proximal development like it did when that game came out.

Without goodness a man cannot endure adversity for long, nor can he enjoy prosperity for long. The good man is naturally at ease with goodness. The wise man cultivates goodness for its advantage.
Confucius (c. 551 - c. 479 BC)
Contributed by: Zaady
An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.
In the morning, hear the Way; in the evening, die content!
Source: The Analects, book 4
Heaven means to be one with God.
Yu, shall I teach you what knowledge is? When you know a thing, to recognize that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to recognize that you do not know it. That is knowledge.
The real fault is to have faults and not try to mend them.
Who expects to be able to go out of a house except by the door? How is it then that no one follows this Way of ours?
If a man take no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.
To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.
If the gentleman is not serious, he will not be respected, and his learning will not be on a firm foundation. He considers loyalty and faithfulness to be fundamental, has no friends who are not like him, and when he has made mistakes, he is not afraid of correcting them.

Treatment Centers for Depression
No one looks forward to an inpatient stay at a depression treatment facility but the truth is that chronic sufferers will usually experience episodes of depression that seem to never go away. Prolonged depression whittles away at the self-confidence we normally use to ward off mental illness and, when that's gone, suicidal thoughts can run constantly through your mind.
Most people suffering acute depression report thoughts of suicide but are afraid to tell authorities because they fear losing control of children or because other employment of family dynamics make it difficult to get the treatment they know they need.
And a high percentage actually require dual diagnosis treatment centers because their illness some combination of drugs or alcohol. Both are part of recurring patterns of substance abuse that we've come to call self-medication. The abuse can require alcohol rehab programs, and mental health professionals are split over whether or not a drug and alcohol treatment centers should address the substance abuse rehab BEFORE a patient moves on to a depression rehab facility.
Recently, holistic treatment centers have become popular to offer a dual diagnosis treatment plan that tackles both issues simultaneously. Regardless of which approach you support, it's clear that drug and alcohol treatment is necessary for a high percentage of sufferers of chronic depression.
I share the stories of some of this site's friends, as well as my own, HERE on the blog.
Anxiety. Depression...
For me, it is the darkness. Time alone. Gray skies. A presentation that sneaks up on the calendar. Too much debt; too little income.
I created this site to explore anxiety and depression in detail. If there's no way out then let there be a light that guides. For the countless medical professionals who've hovered over me, I am grateful. But this is a place for sufferers to gather.
Come along.

Repairman Steals Hard Drive And Charges To Reinstall It 181
from the new-geek-squad-terms-of-service dept.
Phase 2: Ask if they will pay you $50 to fix the computer.
Phase 3: Get charged with theft and receiving stolen property!
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Here's what I'm curious about: how did he get charged with theft and receiving stolen property?
Was it just that he had possession of the stolen property, so they knew that one would stick, so it was a lesser included offense, just in case they couldn't prove the theft?
He stole a camera too...
I don't think there's a "Conspiracy to thieve" charge, so they went for the next best.
That's why it's simply "Criminal Conspiracy". That way it can be paired with any crime.
Perhaps they just can't prove whether he had conspirators or worked alone.
Quotes from this guys profile on skillwho.com:
"i am here to help with all computer related needs, anything that needs done can be done."
I guess anything really means anything.

seems like a lot of work for 50 bucks I've taken machines from boxes-o'-shrinkwrapped-parts to running XP in under an hour or actual work (I wouldn't count the two "click once then go away for half an hour" steps as billable work unless they failed for some reason on the first try and I needed to babysit it). I'd feel bad about trying to charge a full hour for just that part... And as for the file recovery, you generally have two situations - Either the old HDD works just fine (except for a broken Windows install) and you just need to copy it over to the new one, or no one has any shot of recovering it. So another hour, tops.
Err... did you read the article? I think the parent poster was referring to the work of breaking into the realty office and removing the hard drive in the first place.
The thief didn't have to recover any data, all he needed to do was simply reinstall the hard drive he stole, but going to the trouble of breaking in and stealing it would be a lot of hassle for just $50. (of course, that was not the case - he charged $2000)
Yes... my mouse is connected to my monitor.
Hello, USB.

This review is from: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: never have had a problem with any Seagate 7200 rpm hard drive...
Cons: ...
Other Thoughts: i've used both WD and Seagate in many different builds over the last 10 years. WD drives may run quieter, but don't seem to last as long and when they do fail it's a complete fail. seagate drives may be noisy, but seem to last longer and fail kinda slow (you have time to grab files before it dies completely).READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: EVGA 02G-P4-3757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooling Video Card
Pros: Has almost twice the beef compared to a 550 Ti, steps above any 650 GTX, almost matches my 670 but uses half the power.....
Does not run as hot as any of the previous mentioned GPUs while running two 1080p screens, fans are quiet, runs cool even when its got dust up all in it....
Cons: not a 970
Other Thoughts: i have 2 of these in different machines....unlike all the other GPUs i have had, sadly i can't SLi the two later down the road...READ FULL REVIEW

[Weed...I emailed you...did you get it???]
Deb, I was so excited when Ann sent me your name! I am so glad that vase didn't break, and that you like the cookies. They are oddly addicting, aren't they?
To everyone else....the slimey candy was not for the kids! Deb posted something awhile back that just cracked me up. She actually removed pictures of food from a magazine because the pictures grossed her out! One of the funniest things I've ever read here. So those octopi were definitely for Deb ;)
I didn't get your email, GW is bad about that since IV took over. Try my forum name @charter.net
Deb, you got a great cookbook, I know I'd love it. If the vase doesn't fit your style....well, just sent it my way....I love it. You could also send me the cookies (if there's any left) but you can keep the slimey stuff....LOL
Very nice pkg Wendy!
Another wonderful box - lovely choices Wendy. Yep, I can vouch for Weed sending great things, I was lucky enough to get a swap box from her. I'll bet the handblown vase would go in more than one spot in your home Deb. I'm looking forward to seeing what you bake from your new book.
Wow, Wendy!!! What a great package! I remember when Deb posted about the Octopus.... What a great find!! And, Deb, I'd like to make that round loaf on the cover, too.... I think it looks divine! If the rest of the pics are as good....
and WoW! again! That vase is great! How wonderful that the colors are almost perfect for your place.
Great stuff Wendy. Very interesting cookbook. I wish I had the bread making gene, there's nothing better than bread fresh from the oven. The vase is really cool too, and I can eat my weight (almost) in oatmeal cookies. Enjoy it all Deb and be sure to share some bread baking adventures when you get into trying some recipes.

I have a program where I need to pass a filename (and location) to the program. How can I do this? I have read the GetOpt doc so please don't point me there. My command line is as follows:
perl myprogram.pl -input C:\inputfilelocation -output C:\outputfilelocation
My GetOptions look like this:
GetOptions('input=s' => \$input,'output=s' => \$output);
Basically I need to figure out how to access that file in a while loop that I have which iterates over the lines in the file and puts each into $_
while ($input) {
...doesn't work. Note that before my file worked fine with:
open my $error_fh, '<', 'error_log';
while (<$error_fh>) {

Pontiac Sunfire Transmission diagnosis
Hello, I have a 1998 Sunfire with 124k miles on it, that will shift but goes to third gear at about 55-60 mph It works in all gears. Also upon take off from a stop it is slow to engage and move forward. Like a Stall of the converter is keeping it from going. I do have another trans to put in but wanted to ask if anyone had this problem and was able to fix without a replacement transmission? Could it be the filter and fluid? They are full and not burnt smelling. Thanks Chuck (Strowhat)
The transmission shift speeds are controlled by the PCM, and so is shift feel. A techincian needs to drive this and experience the symptom as you described, and then monitor critical inputs to the computer, and outputs from it controlling the transmission and engine. This is best done with the GM Tech II scan tool. Some of the aftermarket scan tools do not have all of the bi-directional command capability of the O.E. tool. While tools like the OTC Genisys, and the Snap-On (2500, Solus, or Modis) will do just fine with the inputs, and the commanded outputs if they don't have all of the bi-directional capability of the Tech II, then the technician will have to manually perform some of the command testing.
The biggest thing right now is you don't want to replace a transmission, only to at best end up exactly where you are, or possibly even worse off. Get it tested correctly.

C-USA preseason XY hoops poll; football adjustments
Conference USA announced the results of its coaches' preseason men's basketball poll Tuesday. Or, rather, the teams in the happy zone -- No. 1 Louisiana Tech, No. 2 UTEP, No. 3 Charlotte, No. 4 Old Dominion.
Beyond that, the conference isn't saying. Hey, we know FIU's eligible for the tournament this year, so that's an upside.
FIU will move both home and visiting radio crews inside the FIU Stadium suite/press box area from the outdoor area colloquially and derisively called "Tent City." Complaints to Conference USA by visiting media and the washout of the FIU radio broadcast prompted the change.
Also, FIU's longtime charter plane company, Allegiant Air, canceled the school's contract, claiming passenger violations during FIU's trip to Birmingham two weeks ago. That trip suffered long delays coming and going, not the first time there were problems with Allegiant. So, FIU's happy enough to fly Sun Country the rest of the season.

My significant other and I felt we should do some research on making
your Victoria vacation a memorable one…we thought we'd share a few of
our findings.
#5 Mount Douglas Park – Drive or hike to the top and share a view of Victoria – go at sunset and watch the snow-capped Olympic Mountains turn pink – are you melting yet?
#4 Sipping martinis at Vista 18 – Every seat in this rooftop restaurant in the Chateau Victoria Hotel offers unforgettable views - cityscape, the Inner Harbour, ocean, mountains – I know a few people who have asked a very important question here…
#3 Westsong Way – From the west side of the harbour, you'll get the best views of theVictoria skyline including the Empress Hotel and Parliament Buildings. Pretend you are tired and snuggle up together in one of the Victoria Harbour Ferries on your way back into the city. Oh yes I did.
#2 Dallas Road – Walk along the waterfront from Ogden Point to Clover Point; there are plenty of places off the pathway to take in the scenery – several sets of stairs along the walk lead to quiet pocket beaches. Views of Juan de Fuca Strait and the Olympic Mountains.
And the #1 place to set off some sparks…
Willows Beach – pack a picnic and blanket; watching the moon rise over the ocean on this strip of sand in Oak Bay is a smooth move. Let's just say you won't need hot chocolate. 15 minute drive from downtown Victoria and transit buses drop off/pick up here.
I like research…

Oh, the Places You'll Go [20th anniversary edition] (edition 2010)
by Dr. Seuss
Work details
Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love this book. Dr. Seuss books are classics, but this one is one of my favorites. I find this book very inspirational for people of all ages. The pictures and rhymes are interesting for younger readers, but the gist of the story is appropriate for all ages. I feel like this is a good book for read alouds because the words can be tongue twisters. The book is told in 2nd person so the reader can easily relate and feel like the narrator is talking to them.
This book is about all the different places you will go in life. It says that you'll make many choices and go many places and do many different things. You'll see great things and accomplish your goals. It also says that you may not always succeed, but that it's okay because life will go on. It says things will not always make sense and be handed to you, but you'll live and learn from it.
I liked this book for three main reasons, the first is that the illustrations in the book are very vivid and match the story very well. Also the story is very easily read and is written in a poetic rhyming just like Dr. Seuss writes in. Also I like that this story is easily read by students of all ages. That is what I liked about this story.
This is one of my favorite children books of all time, I think that this book is simply amazing. I believe that this book is an easy read for everyone. Dr. Seuss uses repetition and rhyming in order to tell the story. Each page is full of vibrant, colorful illustrations that add meaning to the text. I love this story because it talks about the truth in life. For example, they talk about motivation, success, failure, sadness, setbacks and overcoming obstacles. With a beautiful story line of a successful life full of trials, the author gives hope to the reader and encourages them to live their dreams, reach their potential, and celebrate life. I enjoy the positive and uplifting message from the book. It will always be a perfect pick-me-up book!
The main character goes on a journey learns that life is filled with good and bad experiences. He shows that a negative should be turned into something positive. Recommended for ages 7 to 10.
In my opinion, this is a great book! I love the language of this book. It has a great perspective on life and sends a great message to readers. The story highlights the highs and lows of life and lets the reader know that it will be okay! "Today is your day! Your life is waiting. So .... get on your way!"
I also really enjoyed the illustrations throughout the story. Each illustration is very detailed and colorful! Even the cover page is bright, grabs the readers interest, and pulls them in.
The main message of this book is that the world is available to everyone and is filled with great places. "And will you succeed? Yes! You will, in deed!"
This is a great inspirational story that gives children hope for the future. Great to use at the end of the year.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679805273, Hardcover)Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds--all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future. The incomparable Dr. Seuss rejoices in the potential everyone has to fulfill their wildest dreams: "You'll be on your way up! / You'll be seeing great sights! / You'll join the high fliers / who soar to high heights." At the same time, he won't delude the starry-eyed upstart about the pitfalls of life: "You can get all hung up / in a prickle-ly perch. / And your gang will fly on. / You'll be left in a Lurch."
But fear not! Dr. Seuss, with his inimitable illustrations and exhilarating rhymes, is convinced ("98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed") that success is imminent. As long as you remember "to be dexterous and deft. And NEVER mix up your right foot with your left," things should work out. (All ages) --Emilie Coulter

Some expressions about people who treat everyone fairly and with respect | Words and Their Stories
Experts disagree about how these strange expressions started. But, they may have come from Britain. Leaders of the 19th century British army wore pieces of metal called oak leaves on their hats. The metal brass has a color similar to that of gold. So a leader or commander came to be called...
Talk about business, agriculture, and growth these days usually mentions the quality of being sustainable. Find out the history and meanings of this very modern term in this week's Words and Their Stories.
There are many special terms in the world of business. The following story is about a sweetheart deal which I made last week. I made the deal with a friend, and we both made a profit.
Fate is a word that can be hard to understand. Fate, to describe it simply, means that something is meant to be. Fate is a word that has weight. It has power. When we say sealed one's fate we mean a person has done something that has guaranteed a certain end result -- usually a bad one.
After the 2001 terrorist attacks, we've heard the word "homeland" more often in the United States. Some are even proposing the word as the name for today's generation of young people. But the word holds many different meanings around the world -- some positive and some quite negative.
Music fills the air. Colorful lights shine brightly in windows. Children and adults open gifts from loved ones and friends. These are all Christmas traditions.
Another tradition is snow. In many places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day, making it a "White Christmas."
Some of the many names of the short, fat, jolly old man with a long beard, wearing a red suit with white fur who delights children at Christmas | Words and Their Stories
On today's Words and Their Stories we talk about a common word, a small word, but a word that is completely necessary for human life. In fact, without this simple, everyday material, all humans would die. Scientists know it as sodium chloride. We know it as salt.
Many think the bird comes from the nation of Turkey. But turkey is not from Turkey. In fact, the fact that the turkey bird is called by that name is one big mistake. Find out in today's Words and Their Stories.
From the very big to the very small, everything in our universe is made up of matter. Matter is one of those very hardworking words that you need to master ... no matter what. We will get you to the hear of the matter with this Words and Their Stories.
You find a job you like. You ask for the job, but are told you cannot have it. The reason? You have not done that job before. That is insane, you think. I cannot get the job because I have never done the work. How can I ever do the work if I cannot get the job? And that is the catch -- Catch-22!
The sport of boxing gave us famous competitors like Muhammad Ali. It also gave us many expressions that have become frequently used in American English. Learn everyday expressions like "go the distance" and "throw in the towel" that come from the sport of boxing. | Words and Their Stories

Baseball is America's national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first, let me explain a little about the game. Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team.

Previous research has shown the performance of the CJDATS Co-Occurring Disorders Screening Instruments (CODSI-MD and SMD)—six- and three-item instruments to screen for any mental disorder (CODSI-MD) and for severe mental disorders (CODSI-SMD), respectively—to be comparable or superior to other, longer instruments. This study tested the stability of the performance of the CODSI-MD and SMD across three racial/ethnic groups of offenders entering prison substance abuse treatment programs (n = 353), consisting of 96 African American, 120 Latino, and 137 White admissions. The Structured Clinical Interview (SCID) was used to obtain DSM-IV Axis I and II diagnoses; a lifetime SCID diagnosis of a mental disorder or a severe mental disorder was the criterion against which the CODSI-MD and SMD were validated. Results showed no statistical differences in sensitivity or specificity for either the CODSI-MD or SMD across the African American, Latino, and White prisoner groups. The value of the CODSI-MD and SMD as brief screens for mental disorders among offenders with diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds is discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I'm very new to VBS and experimenting with removing the read only attribute from a directory recursively.
It's removing the read only attribute for files but not for the directories. Also The files within these directories seem to have lost their associated program link and are now all showing as an unregistered file type. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update: I can see why the files have lost their associations now. It's because the . which separates the name from the extension has been removed! Doh! Ideally I'd like to rename the filename only.
re.Pattern = "[_.]"
re.IgnoreCase = True
re.Global = True
Sub RemoveReadonlyRecursive(DirPath)
ReadOnly = 1
Set oFld = FSO.GetFolder(DirPath)
For Each oFile in oFld.Files
If oFile.Attributes AND ReadOnly Then
oFile.Attributes = oFile.Attributes XOR ReadOnly
End If
If re.Test(oFile.Name) Then
oFile.Name = re.Replace(oFile.Name, " ")
End If
For Each oSubFld in oFld.SubFolders
If oSubFld.Attributes AND ReadOnly Then
oSubFld.Attributes = oSubFld.Attributes XOR ReadOnly
End If
If re.Test(oSubFld.Name) Then
oSubFld.Name = re.Replace(oSubFld.Name, " ")
End If
End Sub

Looking for a certain type of sci-fi book
Looking for a sci-fi type book....
Read Contact, almost done with Stranger In A Strange Land.... want something else though
Any serious sci-fi book where Earthlings finally make contact with an alien race, on a different planet and then integrate into this alien society?
Something like that...
March 17th, 2011, 12:52 PM #2
Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy is about genetic integration with aliens, but it happens on Earth in a post apocalyptic environment.
Zenna Henderson's stories of The People are about a human looking race of aliens debating the value of integration with humanity and isolationism, but that's on Earth too. Some of the stories are great, but most are repetitive.
March 17th, 2011, 01:14 PM #3
The Mote in God's Eye by Niven/Pournelle is a classic alien contact. It is my all time favorite SF book. I didn't really care much for the sequel.
It presents a very original alien species and quite a delema for the humans.
March 17th, 2011, 03:32 PM #4
Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, which I have read is a good modern example of the first contact novel.
I have also heard that Blindsight by Peter Watts is another good first contact novel. I haven't read it, but I plant to soon.

96 points and a "Don't Miss!" from Allen Meadows' Burghound: "As it almost always is, this is the class of the cellar with more discreet wood framing a reserved yet ultra elegant white flower and intensely mineral nose that merges seamlessly into fine, precise and vividly stony flavors that culminate in a clean, crisp and bone dry finish. This has all of the superb intensity of a young Demoiselles and is clearly built to age and as such should provide at least 9 to 10 years of upside development." (07/07)

Hackers are adept at manipulating online business websites to harvest financial data. The information you require of your customers -- shipping address, credit card details and email -- potentially provides ample resource for hackers to initiate identity theft. This risk keeps some people from shopping online. You have to assure customers of the security of their personal data as they interact with your e-business. Ensure site integrity by investing time and money in learning and implementing good security measures, including digital signatures and data encryption, to protect client information lest it falls in the wrong hands and lawsuits ensue.
The Disadvantages of E-Business
Although the Internet has continued to prop up mom-and-pop e-businesses to compete alongside large companies in meeting customer need for variety, online-based stores still face several challenges. Operating your e-business successfully means going beyond offering access across a range of platforms -- from desktops to smartphones -- you must provide timely delivery and transaction data security. Just as your website offers the convenience of purchasing at the click of a button, you need to invest in systems that ensure public trust and confidence in your company.
Security and Integrity Issues
Purchase to Delivery Time
As much as the Internet has the advantage of processing orders and payments in real time, this has little benefit to the customer who requires the purchased item equally fast. Unlike brick-and-mortar businesses, purchases from your e-business typically have a time lag from purchase to delivery of the physical goods. Some customers would rather go to the physical store and pick up the item unless it's of a digital kind, such as an e-book or music file.
Momentary Intangibility
The personal touch is a missing factor in online transactions. An e-business normally offers the customer no physical proximity to the items purchased until delivery. Experiencing the feel, taste or smell of a product can influence the decision to buy. Unless it's a repeat buyer, your typical customer would want to feel the texture of the leather wallet, the comfort of the shoe or smell the cologne before ordering. The absence of an opportunity to physically examine the product places a major limitation on e-businesses.
Sectoral Limitations
Not every company can participate in e-commerce. Some are challenged in terms of expertise and availability of technology, while others carry products that can't be shipped economically. For example, some large, odd-sized items may be uneconomical to transport across state lines, making it difficult to sell them online. Other products may be legally restricted, depending on state and federal laws, such as certain explosives, ammunition and alcoholic beverages.

REVIEW: Woody Allen's 'To Rome With Love' a light, comical trifle of a film
Published: Friday, July 6, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 2:46 p.m.
When we watch a Woody Allen comedy, what are we trying to get out of it? If I say "entertainment," I probably sound anti-intellectual, but that's the truth as I see it. And, on that note, I can say that "To Rome With Love" succeeds as a Woody Allen film.
"To Rome With Love" is an anthology film. It tells four unrelated stories, all of which are set in Rome. Those stories are: that of an unremarkable man (Roberto Benigni) who suddenly finds that he is very famous for no good reason; that of a young married couple who become separated on their honeymoon, and they both get into all sorts of hijinks while apart; that of a young American (Jesse Eisenberg) living in Rome with his student girlfriend, who falls in love with the falsest person imaginable (Ellen Page) even though Alec Baldwin is constantly warning him against it; and that of a man (Woody Allen) who discovers that his daughter's future father-in-law has great singing ability, but only in the shower.
These are all highly amusing stories, but they don't have much to say about the human condition or anything like that. This film is merely Woody making jokes. The story of the man who becomes famous, for example, is simply a big joke about the life of an uber celebrity. There isn't some big message; it's just there to make you laugh.
The story Woody himself gets to act in, likewise, seems to have no purpose at all. I like to think that Woody just thought it would be funny to see a guy performing in an opera while taking a shower, and he came up with a story to make that happen.
If any of the stories does have a message, though, it's Jesse Eisenberg's. He is in a happy relationship, but when one of his girlfriend's friends, Monica, comes to stay with them things go awry. The joke is that the allure of the other woman is just too strong, even when you know she's fake.
But the funniest of the stories is probably that of Antonio and Milly, newlyweds from the country who find that the city is out to get them when they become separated in Rome. Their story is the most outrageous to me, and I don't want to give any details of it away, and so I'll stop.
You kind of expect that these stories will intertwine in some way, but they never do, and I kind of prefer it that way. They're just four random stories set in Rome. And they're all funny. And that's all I needed.

I have been working at IMA Corporation full-time (more than a year)Pros
Relatively flat organization, no big heierarchy or sense of "old boys" club like other brokers. It's employee owned. Just a general good feeling about this place- I feel valued. Good clients, and they are selective. Complimentary Starbucks with barista onsite is a great perk, as well as the location next to union station.Cons
Internal process keep this place from running efficiently. They won't give me access to the certificate system- instead it's a huge process to find out if a certificate was even issued- too bad because this is a key deliverable and service point to our clients.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Update internal agency system, and replace the certificate processing infrastructure. Focus more on client service instead of falling back on "legal says we can't do it"RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
