esp@cenetユーザーの皆様、
esp@cenet assistant 日本語版 (36 本の短編ｅラーニングモジュールを通じてesp@cenetの使い方が学べます)

So many of you wrote in response to our editorial on the biometric application which would interrupt your esp@cenet searches with soothing images and calming sounds if it thought that you were too stressed, anxious or tired.

It seems that most of you thought that such an intervention would lead to an increased level of tension and indeed anger......

We agree totally and we will NOT be implementing that biometric application after all.

And - and for those of you with strong negative opinions on the matter- we refer you to the date of the publication of the announcement ;-)

Sorry to disappoint those of you who thought that restful images and relaxing sound effects would be a good idea.

We'll be back soon with the winners of esp@cenet quiz no2 and the correct answers and with the questions for esp@cenet quiz no3.

Watch this space!

Lisa McDonald-Maier and Nigel Clarke
