Apple to enter Gaming Market with iPod?

There are rumors floating around right now that say Apple is currently recruiting game developers for a “super secret” project. According to this article on GameSpot.com, “an Apple hiring manager named Mike Lampell is heading up a group inside Apple’s storied iTunes division. The group is specifically hiring for “C/C++ coders with a ‘gaming background.’ One engineer says the project in question was described to him as “super secret,” and Apple would not even tell him the exact nature of it until he had been hired and signed a non-disclosure agreement.” Sweet.

Dr. Mario?

According to this Reuters report, a new study suggests that surgeons who played games like “Super Monkey Ball” for 20 minutes just before performing surgery were faster and made fewer mistakes than those who did not. The study, conducted by Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City involved 303 surgeons who were in medical training courses focusing on laparoscopic surgical procedures — which require the doctor to navigate a tiny video camera and surgical instruments through small incisions. Rosser, director of the Advanced Medical Technology Institute at Beth Israel compares it to “trying to tie your shoe laces with three-foot-long chopsticks while watching on a TV screen.”
