We’ve all been there. After entering a restaurant, the waiter takes you to your table, and hands over a glass of water with the menu. The water is usually free of charge. (In Taiwan, we are served boiled water, while in the US, they provide drinkable tap water).   Tap water is something we take for granted, something accessible just by turning on the faucet. Amazingly, one out of five children around the world cannot have clean water to drink on a daily basis. As a result, 6,000 precious lives are lost each day.   Information like that are

How do you associate “Coke” with “staying fit”? We all know that Diet Coke might a better choice than regular Coke for one’s guilty pleasure. But did you know that the brand of Diet Coke now stands for slimness?  Diet Coke’s latest publicity stunt in Paris is the “Slender Vendor,” a vending machine that’s only 7 inches wide to show how “famously fit and elegant” Diet Coke is. Get it? Not only does it fit nicely in narrow spaces, it is now everywhere: in the middle of sidewalks, in bowling allies, between treadmills in fitness centers... etc. In short,

Ever seen Stanley Kubrick’s classic: 2001: A Space Odyssey? 2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 British-American science fiction film produced and directed by Kubrick. Made in the past depicting the future of 33 years after, the year 2001 is, ironically, 12 years ago.  I haven’t had the pleasure of watching this film until 2 years ago, and, frankly speaking, it was the most boring experience ever. I could not help but fast-foward through almost half of the 2-hour-and-half film without “getting” what message the legendary director was trying to convey. However, I did notice something strangely familiar: the

  G! VOICE Introduces:    “Imagine two completely different systems constantly contradicting each other, yet aiming for a single conclusion.    System 1 is fast, automatic, frequent, emotional, stereotypic, subconscious. However, it is prone to take one aspect and generalize it as the whole, subsequently leading to misjudgment.    On the other hand, System 2 is slow, effortful, infrequent, logical, calculating, conscious. It seeks shortcut solutions and often leads to quick, direct yet lazy conclusions.    Both systems exist in the human brain! Explore how they work along and against each other on every choice that you make in

Doraemon was introduced in 1970 by Fujiko Fujio, and immediately became a household favorite to children and adults alike. The artist, Fujiko Fujio, designed Doraemon with a magic pocket that could pull out any gadget to solve any problems that occur in daily life. Because of its relativeness with the common people, Doraemon’s “inventions” are things we really hope to have in real life. According to Wikipedia, Doraemon has presented 1,963 items (2,000 including gadgets in animated versions) to date.   2012 is exactly 100 years before Doraemon’s birth date. The “100 years before the birth of DORAEMON” exhibition

Do you remember? On Oct 6th, 2012, over 9,000 fans packed into Taipei World Trade Center Hall 2 (Taipei Show Hall 2) just to get a glimpse of their favorite “singer”, Hatsune Miku.   Miku is a singing synthesizer developed by Crypton Future Media. When the software was first presented in 2007, there was no humanoid person to go with it. It was literally just an synthesizer application. Not even Crypton expected Miku to become the legacy it is now.   The Japanese website Nico Nico Douga, played a fundamental role in the popularity Hatsune Miku, as users starting

Does innovation and creativity bring us science fiction, or technological breakthroughs? On Jan. 9th, 2007, Steve Jobs used his iPhone to make the first call outside the company. It was made to a local Starbucks in San Francisco, in which the worker answered: “Good morning, how may I help you?” “I would like to take out 4,000 lattes, thank you.” Jobs laughs at his own joke, and adds, “No no, I was just kidding. Wrong number. Bye!” This was when iPhone was introduced to the world for the first time. The other defining moment was when Jobs initiated Google

Albert: “Eighteen. Wow. In human years, that means a company that has reached its ‘adulthood’, and has its own fully developed characteristics. Looking back on these 18 years, we really have come a long way. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but that’s what makes us unique. Gamania grew up as a ‘tough kid in hard times’ (laughs). It’s not uncommon to see international companies find a business model that works, and stick to it for the next 10 or 15 years to come. However, in Taiwan, things change faster than expected. The nature of our industry allows us

G! VOICE started out as the Gamanian magazine! ? ▲ In 2005, 4 volumes of the Gamanian were exclusively issued. ▲ Gamania’s CEO, Albert Liu. Albert’s words on the 1st issue of the Gamanian (2005): “The culture of a company is crucial to its growth and development. When I say ‘culture’, I’m referring to the way people interact and work with each other within a company. It determines things that we value along the way, and defines what we stand for. In 2002, when Gamania started testing the waters of the international market, we came in contact with a
