Actually, they could just do like they did with Safari/WebKit....take GIMP, polish it, add *good* CMYK* support...done...then we could all get a nice non-adobe image program, and I (and many others) wouldn't have to boot into windows to use photoshop.

AT&T, Verizon Moving Into Gaming 45

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday June 16, 2009 @03:54AM from the stop-wiretapping-my-railgun dept.

Verizon announced today that they are working on a service to deliver games through their broadband service for a monthly fee. The service will begin this summer in New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Along similar lines, IndustryGamers reports that AT&T is "investing millions in gaming." In addition to revamping the games section of their website, they are also working on an IPTV service and trying to find a way to unify the gaming experience across mobile platforms, computers, and consoles. "[AT&T's Executive Director of Gaming, Glenn Broderick, said,] 'What we're doing is trying to incentivize [gaming companies] to take some risks by tethering mobile games to console or PC experiences.' ... He continued, 'We're putting a ton of money into back-end systems for both mobile and the broadband site... We're making serious investments in the games space because it's now seen as a huge strategic initiative for AT&T. And before it just wasn't; it wasn't on the executive agenda.' Broderick also is optimistic that cloud-based gaming services like OnLive that provide games on demand will take off in the next 5-10 years, and he sees AT&T and its network as a big player in that."

MojoKid writes "There have been a handful of NVIDIA Ion-based products with Intel's Atom processor that have been unveiled recently, ranging from NVIDIA's own reference system, to the Acer Aspire Revo SFF PC. Today Zotac announced an Ion motherboard that will be appealing to the DIY crowd. The design of this IONITX-A model board tested and reviewed here in particular, offers some very interesting features, not the least of which is its DC power input with an external power brick. It also is built on Intel's dual core Atom process for a bit more horsepower to back up NVIDIA's Ion integrated graphics chip."

Considering TFA is about the Quadro family, games are irrelevant. There are a few people out there running Maya, XSI and such that will be very happy to hear the news.....Oh, and just for kicks, desktop linux is already here! It's been here for years. I mean, my screen looks like linux, my other computer too....I've switched quite a few people to desktop linux and they cringe at the idea of going back to windows. So, desktop linux is already here, now it's time to make it "popular"... Just my 2c
