Ayah. I did the Cisco side of the house.

Honestly... this seems like it was more of a dog and pony show for medical professionals.

So, real world copyright is being bought with a 'license to use a fictional currency'?

Fatality.

I haven't worked directly with educational institutions in the context of Second Life, but in the context of the Internet in general I think you have them pegged.

My experience with corporate types is along the lines of yours. Very few actually seem interested in tapping the creative side - probably because the creative side is so unpredictable. This gives the unfortunate (and accurate) result of builds labeled 'unimaginative'. Consider the Dell presence - the 'build your own computer' concept was nice, but it was only a novelty.

Hmm. Well, I was there. I don't think all 100 people were there in the first place.

Given the offending quote is:

"According to the orchestra, 9 million Second Life denizens watched the performance live on Second Life's own cable network, and the broadcast repeats every couple of hours through November. (It's available on demand to Second Life "residents.")"

I could see how this could be a misquote... Maybe Adam or Eric Reuters should have written that piece.

Language and culture.

Its good that it is coming out now, but... I am wondering why this came out on the same day as the (late) blog entry on VAT.

In essence, I wonder if this wasn't rushed out in an attempt to balance VAT. I suppose I'll find out this weekend.

Written about this before sometime last year in the context of IBM.

I guess the PR department is on vacation...

Erbo, you described this Buddhist's experience with Christians quite well. :-)

Yeah, I've stayed away from this for the most part myself.

On one hand, some products are overpriced - but most of the products can easily be made by someone else. I've looked at ACS Lindens stuff on SLExchange, and was somewhat amused. They're *overpriced*, as far as I'm concerned. Those should be freebies *or* maybe 1 L items.

Pretty weak, actually.

As far as 'Anshe Is The Center Of The Universe' stuff - well, I don't think she is. I believe that her land is overpriced and overvalued, I believe that she's just trying to make a buck like many other people, and I know she has the capacity to make it cheaper.

But quality and cheap do not go hand in hand.
