For SLReports.net Sunday Front Page

In a November 21st, 2008 article for MSNBC.com, journalist Jeremy Hsu asserted that the collapse of Ginko Financial foretold the US Subprime Credit Collapse and resulting bank failures and stock market plunges. It is easy to draw broad analysis to the situations, and perhaps more appropriately, the recent Linden Lab's Openspace Policy Change to a collapse of the US Housing Bubble, but Hsu was happy with using only web-searchable information that is over a year old.

Tokyo - A paralysed man using only his brain waves has been able to manipulate a virtual Internet character, Japanese researchers said on Monday, calling it a world first.

The 41-year-old patient used his imagination to make his character take a walk and chat to another virtual person on the popular Second Life website.

The patient, who has suffered paralysis for more than 30 years, can barely bend his fingers due to a progressive muscle disease so cannot use a mouse or keyboard in the traditional way.

The Future of OpenSim and Second Life

By SL Hak

An interesting podcast from ZATZai Services who interviewed Adam Zaius and Teravus Ousley who are both developing their own version of OpenSim. The interview deals in depth with issues faced by OpenSim and discusses topics such as the chokepoint with the asset servers, DRM and connecting multiple OpenSims to Second Life. If you'd like to skip to the Q&A's it starts at 48:48. The podcast can get a little technical but if you're considering investing in OpenSim then this podcast is a must.
