UK game-development degrees not up to snuff, claims industry

Well..

Of course they could take on more trainees and actually skill someone up in the manner that they require but well thats more costly and time consuming than bitching about the education system isn't it??

I somehow doubt a 21 graduate is going to start knocking up a PS3 title right out of uni and I seriously doubt any uni course could properly educate someone to this level given the usual 2-4 hrs lecturing a week on most courses in a couple of years.

Good of the Industry to point out the failings of the University courses though must really inspire all the kids enrolled on them to continue with their studies...

US: BAE 'could have' pirated our secret Stealth 3.0 tech sauce

i like

Not a bad article you have to expect Page's opinions on BAE to come through a fair bit but the actual fact he is reporting on this stuff is great.

Nice to know the Americans are so trusting of UK engineers while no doubt employing scores of Indian tech support chaps to maintain these "systems" to stop us running away with all the good stuff.

Though maybe they have a point who exactly gave the israel the knowledge to manufacture the bomb?

Byron review calls for computer game ratings

She is relatively fit but..

Thats no reason for her to tell us whats good, bad, right, wrong whatever. If you don't want your sprogs exposed to stuff get rid of the telly, the xbox, the pc, books and definitely don't let em go to school.

Why shouldn't children be desensitised to violence it's been encouraged for so long up till now e.g. tom & jerry cartoons, the chuckle brothers, gladiators, rugby etc.
