Quote of the day: More bucks for games than health

In an interview with CNET News.com, Louis Burns, who manages Intel's Digital Health Group, makes a point about the tech industry's funding priorities, which he's hoping will shift.

"The technology industry spent more money and time improving first-person shooter games than the outcome in the emergency room," he said. "Think about that for a second. What we're really trying to do is get our industry focused on health care issues. We think there is a very big growth opportunity for our industry. We're not doing it just to feel good about it. You have to be patient and listen to understand the issues, but we think the opportunity is huge." Click here for the full interview.

not just tech industry
It's not that different from governments that spend more on killing people than on healing them.
