&lt;p&gt;I was interested in hearing what Mitch Kapor has to say about Second Life being a &amp;quot;disruptive technology,&amp;quot; but his &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/07/07/sl5b-closing-keynote-by-mitch-kapor-monday-9am-pst/&quot;&gt;closing keynote at the SL5B event&lt;/a&gt; couldn&#039;t be accessed, thanks to the platform&#039;s well-known &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.computerworld.com/node/5122&quot;&gt;scaling problems&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u158/slb5_full_.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Second Life does not scale for slb5 meeting&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; height=&quot;265&quot; width=&quot;406&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update 2:25 pm (eastern&lt;/b&gt;): Audio from the keynote &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/07/07/audio-url-for-mitch-kapors-keynote/&quot;&gt;was supposed to be posted&lt;/a&gt;, but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://205.188.215.227:8080/&quot;&gt;ShoutCast link&lt;/a&gt; says the &amp;quot;server is currently down.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;More news, commentary, and predictions from &lt;i&gt;The Industry Standard&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prediction: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/apple-opens-store-second-life&quot;&gt;Apple opens a store in Second Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prediction: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/second-life-usage-will-not-break-40-million-user-hours-month-end-2008&quot;&gt;Second Life usage will not break 40 million user hours per month by the end of 2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Analysis: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestandard.com/news/2008/04/22/sonys-ps3-home-timeline-goes-bad-worse&quot;&gt;Sony&#039;s PS3 Home timeline goes from bad to worse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
