Art: Bio-Mechanical “Tumor” That Doubles As CPU Load Meter
Possibly the single grossest PC peripheral in existence today.
No more videocard upgrades. Ever.
That’s the promise held by the upcoming service OnLive, which claims to use proprietary video compression and streaming technology to provide cloud-based, lag-free PC gaming to everyone.

The real surprise? It actually seems to work.
Reviewing technology with an occasional sprinkling of art and humour.
