According to the study, published on Monday, there is a shortage of IT skills across Europe and the US, even though such skills are core assets needed during a recession.

Part of the problem is that businesses are now focusing on newer areas such as Web 2.0, without realizing that the skills to support core infrastructure are lacking, Micro Focus chief executive Stephen Kelly told ZDNet UK. “In this survey, we are not devaluing Web 2.0,” he said. “The problem is that newer technologies cannot succeed unless they are supported by the core infrastructure.”

June 19, 2008

Nintendo’s director of public relations Marc Franklin has said that core gamers should expect great things from the company at E3.

“We will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be interested in around the time of E3,” he told GamePro recently.
