Founded by entrepreneur Steve Perlman, OnLive is attempting to change the traditional PC gaming experience, by allowing users to play games via cloud computing on any computer that meets the client’s lenient system requirements.

A first-hand look at Lenovo's heavy-duty W701 mobile workstation Ever since the release of the Calpella-based mobile workstations, we wanted to get our hands on one, and when Lenovo loaned us its latest, top-end W701, we got our wish. Lenovo introduced its latest ThinkPad W510 (January, 2010) and ThinkPad W701 (February) models around the same time Intel was unveiling its 32 nm Westmere generation, showcasing the Arrandale mobile processor, which combines a CPU and GPU in a single package.

I was asked why I wanted to test a digital recorder device when I could record using my mobile phone? My first response was, “well, I am a gadget hound, and I like toys.” I was then challenged by the prospect of carrying around multiple devices when I could do everything I needed with one—the ubiquitous iPhone or some other smartphone. However, just as the iPhone has a passable camera—it’s not a great camera, and therefore, I carry a higher megapixel, higher quality pocket camera that has a flash unit, as well as an ambient light detector—I thought a dedicated digital recording device like the Olympus DM-420 would have higher quality and more reliable recording then the iPhone or any other smart phone—the case of being good enough at a lot of things but not great at any one of them.
