Well, the MacBook Air did create the market for CULV (Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage) based laptops, which seem to be slowly killing off the netbook as they're more powerful but are still thin, light and have decent battery life.

I think the MacBook Air is pretty shit too, but I wouldn't mind one of those nice Toshiba CULV laptops to replace my ASUS Netbook next time around.

OnLive Gaming Service Gets Lukewarm Approval->

Submitted by Vigile
Vigile writes "When the OnLive cloud-based gaming service was first announced back in March of 2009, it was met with equal parts excitement and controversy. While the idea of playing games on just about any kind of hardware thanks to remote rendering and streaming video was interesting, the larger issue remained of how OnLive planned to solve the latency problem. With the closed beta currently underway, PC Perspective put the OnLive gaming service to the test by comparing the user experiences of the OnLive-based games to the experiences with the same locally installed titles. The end result appears to be that while slower input-dependent games like Burnout: Paradise worked pretty well, games that require a fast twitch-based input scheme like UT3 did not."

That only works if the IP you're planning on exporting isn't already public domain in the countries you plan on exporting to.

In this instance the IP is public domain in the UK (as I understand it) and you would think the UK would probably be one of the largest markets for Sherlock Holmes stories.

...and some high-end TVs have a 'game mode' that amongst other things switches the interpolation off to avoid the delay you speak of. Specifically, I think some Samsung models have this feature.

There is a related point though which is the fact that a number of TVs/LCD Displays claim to be 100Hz or even 120Hz but can't actually accept a 100/120Hz input. Supposedly the coming generation of '3D ready' displays will rectify this since for a comfortable 3D viewing experience 60 FPS to each eye is required.

Many people are secretly interested in life.
