Evening Reading

by Steve Gibson, Nov 18, 2008 6:00pm PST

So as you guys saw in our Left

4 Dead review, the game delivers co-op good times. I am not really sure about the

longevity of the game for myself personally but I do know that the moment more episodes

come out for that game I am all over it.

  • What the hell is that thing
  • Where next in

    space?

  • iPhone gaming

    stepping down

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Lastly, the new Xbox

dashboard nonsense is just around the corner and I must say I've been very

underwhelmed with just about everything I have seen outside of Netflix integration and

that looks like it still needs work. I'm sure many focus groups have said this thing works

great though so I guess we'll see shortly.














  • Does such a thing exist?

    Just read about someone's crazy idea on a forum. Imagine an iMac connected to a MacBook through something like the new LED Cinema Display triple connector. Through magic (a lot of ingenious programming), you could then drag and drop files between the two desktops, allow opening of applications in each other's displays, etc. Two computers connected that can share displays, input, memory and CPU processing.

    Kinda like a Remote Desktop mashed up with Extended Display. I guess the tricky part would be the cpu, memory sharing/scheduling/offloading part. How do you tell an application needs more power automatically without the user manually assigning programs to each CPU? And is that even possible, given the speed of USB?
