'This will affect how enterprises plan their services... whether they host their own services or whether they use cloud vendors,' Labovitz says. 'The enterprise needs to shift its thinking in terms of [service level agreements] and the way it measures, monitors and secures its networks. That all used to be focused on connectivity, but now it needs to be focused on content.'"

I read this through 3 times and I'm still pretty sure it doesn't mean anything at all

Comment The timing issues seem kind of sketchy (Score 1) 136

I feel like this would totally destroy rhythm based games and fighting games where even 30 or 40 ms lag is noticeable to the average player because of the way the timing works. Aiming in shooting games would probably feel too weird to be very enjoyable.

Imagine some sort of cloud gaming future in like 2050 where vast swaths of game genres have been killed off by the lag inherent to the game systems, and people play nothing but slow paced adventure and puzzle games!

Comment 10 pounds kilograms? (Score 1) 255

The way units are generally written out "10 pounds kilograms" sounds like you are stating 10 lbs*kg which doesn't make any sense. The problem with these search engine comparisons is that the people reviewing htem usually have extremely narrow ideas of the results they want while these search engines are built for a very wide audience. I remember when there was an article about Cuil and the reviewer was pissed because the first result was about the United States mint and not the leaf.

Comment Smoke rings (Score 1) 249

You can do some totally awesome things with smoke rings if you rig up a smoke ring maker to a signal generator or a computer and then define various smoke ring generating waveforms/pulses. You end up mixing fluids and electrical/circuits and smoking into one project.

I have no idea what smoke rings are relevant to however.
