Rearden Studios introduces OnLive game service and 'microconsole'
It’s a little cheap set-top-box that streams games over the internet. As I understand it; instead of rendering the graphics on the console the games’ graphics would be rendered at OnLive’s servers and streamed to your box (much like Netflix on demand video). This makes the hardware very cheap because only barebones hardware is required to stream the sound/video and except player input. Supposedly you would be always be able to play the latest games without needing the newest and greatest console or PC hardware. The only limitation is the ISP bandwidth and speed (and that could be a real problem).

Still waiting on my new car…
I’m starting to become a little annoyed by the lack of information about ETA on the order of my new Scion xD. I put $500 down to get the car on order, and it’ll have been a full 2 weeks as of July 1st. All I’ve heard from the dealership (early last week) was;
There aren’t any blue available anywhere, and if they can find the grey at another dealer they’d have it in a few days, if not it might be a few weeks for one to roll off the assembly line and get to the dealership.
I also have to juggle my loan pre-approval and expiring tags on my old car. So I guess I’m going to have to call the dealership again soon… I’d at least like to know if I’m going to have to wait for one from the factory.
