Choosing to title it "Schrödinger's Cat and Heisenberg's Dog: The Change from Offline to Online," former Sony Computer Entertainment Europe prez David Reeves will deliver his keynote address at Germany's Games Convention Online, which runs July 31 through August 2. The speech "will provide a view of when online sales of games overtake classic retail distribution," Reeves told Develop.It had been (wrongly) rumored that Reeves left Sony for a gig at APB dev Realtime Worlds, but we now know the hobbies he'll be taking up in his retirement: theoretical physics, quantum mechanics and watching The Big Bang Theory. We can't wait to hear how he manages to work those topics into a talk about online games. (10 bucks says Reeves' friends submitted the keynote's title without him knowing it.)

Unless they are on Futurama, quantum jokes are almost inherently not funny. I'll spare you my feeble attempt, but I challenge you to think of a good one.
Game on.

What did the cat say to the dog when the dog opened the box?
Meow. What, did you expect the cat to talk? It was only placed in a box and the lid closed.

Decent joke, but the presentation could have been better.
"What did the cat say to the dog who opened the box?
Meow.
What... did you expect the cat to talk? It was just a cat someone put in a box."
