It won’t be too long before it’s possible for every player to make a living just by playing video games, writes Dean Anderson.
Playing games is a fun, rewarding and transportive experience for millions of people. However, gaming is rarely seen as anything more than an enjoyable hobby. Yet, if you’ve ever tried to complete Dark Souls, nail every challenge in Myst, or just get the better of Mike Tyson in Punch Out!! on the NES, you will understand the skill and dedication it takes.
Having a true passion for something means knowing it inside out – becoming an expert – and this a worthy skill, particularly if this knowledge is used to improve the art itself.

Technological changes are defining the world of 21st-century business. They are also prompting questions about the future of work and how we can navigate to the ‘next horizon’.
How businesses respond to these challenges and exploit the benefits of smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), will be a key contributor to success going forward.
Roles that have been traditionally thought of as requiring a high-level human intellect are now being automated – thanks to AI. Whilst this undoubtedly boosts efficiency, decision makers must be mindful of how this may impact brand identity and user experience.

Android is frequently updated, and new releases of the Android OS are typically released as often as twice or thrice in a year. Each such release or version is given a name. Google follows an alphabetical order when naming the new versions, but it makes it more fun by naming these after confectionery food items!.
Even though the names are fun, that does not mean that the releases themselves are just fun. Each new version of Android comes with more efficient features and bug fixes that make smartphones and tablets more usable than ever.

Android is an operating system from Google. It was primarily designed for mobile phones but has since been enhanced to work with phablets, tablets, and more devices.
In many ways, it is quite similar to iOS, Symbian, Windows Phone and Blackberry OS. There are differences too since Android is based on Linux, a free cross-platform core operating system.

Before you install Mac OS X Lion, take a moment to check if all applications on your computer are compatible with the new OS. The reason why you need to do so is that Lion no longer supports Rosetta. Rosetta is the underlying technology built into Mac OS X that allowed older Mac applications written for the PowerPC platform to run seamlessly on Mac OS X. In fact, Rosetta worked so seamlessly that many of us did not even realize it was running behind the scenes.

Once you click the Start Installation button within Boot Camp Assistant, it is assumed that your Windows install disc is in your optical drive, either a drive on your system or an external drive. Thereafter your Mac will reboot, and start off the Windows install disc to begin installing Microsoft Windows to your newly created Boot Camp partition.
If all goes fine, then that’s great. But if you see an error; maybe there is an error reading your disc or some communication error. First, ascertain that you are indeed stuck and cannot proceed. Then hold the Power button on your Mac to shut down the computer. Thereafter, hold the Option (Alt) key while you restart your computer. Most probably you will see a menu with a single option that lets you boot to your Mac OS. Choose this option and boot into your Mac OS X partition.
