13TH STREET „Last Call - The first interactive Movie (Software by Powerflasher) 20101124-lunchbreakcat.gif (GIF Image, 600x2097 pixels) Fan video proves that every anime show has the same opening credits. @transitnap: The difference being that the intro of an american show is maybe 40 seconds, tops. Animes drag this formulaic self-indulgent nonsense on for at least a minute and a half before the actual show starts, often a lot longer. @MisterFoo: I don't think it's self-indulgent so much as it's just convention, the opening sequences probably last as long as the theme song does (which, for many fans, is an important part of an anime, so much so that it often changes through seasons).

For live-action shows, the convention is to generally use clips from the actual show set in a montage, which can also be seen as self-indulgent and formulaic. Both those genres use these formulas to signal to the audience what they are; think of it as packaging. If they broke from these conventions entirely, for instance, instead of a traditional opening sequence, relying solely on an announcer to introduce each episode or having nothing at all, people would generally be confused.

I traveled to China to report on Foxconn and Shenzhen as part of a special feature for Wired magazine, which will be published in an upcoming issue. In the meantime, here's a glimpse of some of the things I saw in Shenzhen. Foxconn's factory in Shenzhen, China, is home to about half its 420,000 workers. They make many of our gadgets and computers, then walk to dormitories on the 2.1-kilometer-square campus. I got to look inside. This dorm is one of the older ones on campus, built near the beginning. Workout equipment is located in the spaces between buildings.Newer dorm rooms share a sink on the balcony, where workers can wash their clothing and themselves.

It is the time of CES and the media is currently filled with a lot of very interesting products - but here is one that you will not see (unfortunately). It's a PC the size of a napkin. The best part is that it is based on passive screen technology (epaper), which means that it only needs power when you change it. The result is that whatever you draw on it will stay on the screen forever (or atleast until you change it) without the need for cables or batteries. This is a brilliant concept by Avery Holleman, and apart from the color epaper, all of it could be done today. The current epaper technology unfortunately only supports black and white (like the Kindle). But, It is said that the first functional epapers in color will come out in 2008.

In any case, I want one - as soon as somebody makes one. Note: I am not really sure that running windows on it is such a good idea - or let me rephrase that, any operating system.
