tv kills. I remember as a kid the stories that circulated around television usage. Ofcourse the kid next door was doing poorly at school, his brain was rotting away because he watched too much tv! I think I recall another one about it causing cancer, which was probably too big a concept for me in 1970, when I was a wee lad of 6 years.
The stories are back, only this time a bit more plausable: "TV can cause the developing mind to experience unnatural levels of stimulation."
The BBC health watch has more on the study.

maybe this explains Linux. NY Times:
Imagine an educational system where children do not start school until they are 7, where spending is a paltry $5,000 a year per student, where there are no gifted programs and class sizes often approach 30. A prescription for failure, no doubt, in the eyes of many experts, but in this case a description of Finnish schools, which were recently ranked the world's best.
If one trait sets Finland apart from many other countries, it is the quality and social standing of its teachers ... All teachers in Finland must have at least a master's degree, and while they are no better paid than teachers in other countries, the profession is highly respected. Many more people want to become teachers after graduating from upper schools than universities can actually handle, so the vast majority are turned down.

Director team rumours
Rumours are that after the release of Director MX 2004, some of the director team engineers were laid off. At the same time, macromedia is about to open up a real office in India.
Looks like in future, there will be joint development between the US headquarters and the Indian office.
