I've never played this game, but I still want to strangle that bird and pluck out all his feathers.

This is now what alot of people consider "gaming". It's Peggle for the new generation, lol.

Between this and Farmville I wonder how many souls have been lost?

Who are all the iZombies that play this stupid game. I love how the media hypes up this crap and people willingly swallow it. Pathetic !

As far as productivity goes these greedy CEOs make many mints while at the same time they have fired many people and reduced the number of employees doing the work, lets see now we have one employee doing the work of THREE!

I say F productivity and start being lazy, then they will have to hire more people and the unemployment rate will actually go down.

Increased productivity today just means the slaves work harder for less.

Oh you mean that game that ripped off Crush The Castle, which ripped off about 10 other games before that? Whatever...

I think I just wasted $1.50 reading this article and another 10 cents commenting on it.

Worthless studies cost the economy billions of dollars each year. Those people who conduct worthless researches should do something productive like digging ditches or paving roads instead of criticizing how other people do their jobs.

it takes about 30 odd minutes to finish the game if you aren't paying attention

People actually find that game entertaining? I get the same amount of amusement from Angry Birds as I would doing nothing at all.
If I'm at work, I actually work. Am I a minority?

I always read Tom's at work.

An interesting but rather pointless study. I could come up with figures for things like FarmVille and such too, but a study is pointless unless it offers ways of improving the situation.

 

[zak_mckraken]

I lose more time commenting articles and other people's comments on Tom's that I would playing angry birds...

people don't know what their own feelings mean. relaxed or anxious are the only options. really? the 'anxiousness' could be a tiny little sip of adrenaline. who said a tiny bit of fight or flight is bad for the body. no science i've ever read about.

Not sure how true this article is, But im sure most employees with higher paying salaries are more demanding leaving less time to play with upset birds all day. But if the birds are the center of attention. use Mobile Spy and Sniper Spy to track their productivity. This will help narrow down the numbers.
