Google gets webpage patent

It took them a while, but after five years Google managed to get a patent for its main search page.

I can't really say I'm fond about these kinds of patents - hey, let me page a blank page and claim royalties for it! - but... it's up to them.
I just hope they don't get to become some patent nazis likes some other companies out there - after all, it's all about the "do no evil" motto... right?


OnLive begins beta testing


Good news for all my american readers. Remember OnLive, that internet based game rendering that provides high quality graphics without requiring any of the high-end hardware?

Well, they're now accepting beta testers to begin real-world tryouts.

I believe this is the kind of technology that will make be running everything in the near future, from games to plain regular "computing". We'll just need a "dumb" efficient terminal, without power-hungry hardware, and everything will be stramed from those big servers out there.
(And stop worrying about upgrading our hardware to run the latest games :)

Keyboard with trackpad
