Spill panel says management culture to blame

SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press= WASHINGTON (AP) — It wasn’t just the botched technical decisions. BP and other companies’ management, communication and overconfidence in dealing with risk led to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, investigators for the presidential commission said Tuesday. The commission’s chief engineer, Richard Sears, outlined seven managerial findings, including muddled lines of authority and a compounding cascade of small problems that ultimately caused 11 people to die and millions of gallons of oil to spill. “This is something that built over hours if not days, weeks, months.

Give that watch face a spin, and you’ll find a working countdown timer on the back, or browse through icon-based music, weather and Twitter interfaces, a media browser and a Rubik’s Cube that spins in 3D space. The firm’s calling the setup Dimension S3D, though like most TAT concepts, it’s not for sale in its present form — the company hopes to license the underlying framework to TV manufacturers who want to build menus in 3D, and hopefully attract content providers to build 3D apps as well.
