  Dreamworks Dumps Wallace and Gromit 2007-02-02 04:11

Tiger4 writes "Aardman Animation and Dreamworks are splitting their relationship. Apparently Dreamworks feels they lost money on 'Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit' and 'Flushed Away.' So off to their separate ways they go. Aardman is going back to stop motion and clay, Dreamworks will be staying with their CGI ways." In addition, Aardman Animation announced that a new Wallace and Gromit film is in the works.

  Language versus Thought in 2007 2006-12-28 03:39 CexpTretical

Submitted by CexpTretical on Thursday December 28 2006, @03:39AM
CexpTretical writes "If the semantic structure of a language influences the thoughts and ideas of its users and vice versa, then how and to what degree? Over a decade ago John J. Gumperz and Stephen C. Levinson looked at such questions in a work entitled "Rethinking Linguistic Relativity" which examined earlier works by linguists attempting to explain how thought and language interact. In 2007 and beyond, such research will be fundamental to our understanding of things like Web 2.0 collaborations, open source community development, artificial intelligence, semantic web, internationalization tasks, and just about any other activity that primarily involves communication of ideas between people. Similarly, some have suggested (e.g. in books like "Thinking in Java" and the like) that ideas and/or thought in software engineering are governed to some degree by programming languages themselves and that they are not to be compared simply in terms of efficiency or other such criteria but also in terms of design and structure."
