Why Time Flies By As You Get Older 252

Ant notes a piece up on WBUR Boston addressing theories to explain the universal human experience that time seems to pass faster as you get older. Here's the 9-minute audio (MP3). Several explanations are tried out: that brains lay down more information for novel experiences; that the "clock" for nerve impulses in aging brains runs slower; and that each interval of time represents a diminishing fraction of life as we age.

Long Range Eye Tracking for Advertisers 134

holy_calamity writes "A Canadian firm has launched a device that can track the gaze of multiple people from up to 10 metres away. Originally developed at Queen's University, Ontario, they hope to sell it to advertisers to allow them to monitor how many people look at their ads. Admittedly they are trying more benign stuff too like better hearing aids, but I doubt that will make up for movie posters that make a song and dance whenever you glance their way."

Not only, as XemonerdX pointed out, did Killer Instinct have combo-breakers, but there were a number of other games with parrying at least a year or two before SFIII. Dead Or Alive and Soul Edge spring to mind.

I'm not a Capcom hater who thinks we should rank on them for being less-than-innovative but we shouldn't automatically assume their supremacy just because SFII defined the genre.
