A few months ago we mentioned a new cloud video gaming service that was being rolled out called OnLive. At the time, the details were pretty sparse, but some representatives from OnLive recently put on a presentation explaining in detail the technology and business model they are planning to use to make OnLive work. They provided a full demo of the service as well as a Q&A session.

After seeing the presentation I must say that they are doing some really cool stuff over there and seem to really know what they're talking about. They've got guys on staff that developed the original QuickTime video compression algorithms. They've also got most of the major game publishers on board. I think this has the potential to be very big and my skepticism is slowly fading. Check it out!
