I didn't get a chance to read the article earlier today (a co-worker had a
copy of WSJ with him) and I don't have an online subscription (if you do go
here http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB102943951112095835,00.html) but I
would guess that if you dig into it you'll end up at Serious Play -
http://www.seriousplay.com. There was some LUGNET threads on Serious Play
about a year ago.
