Pivot – The Awesome Data Browser… From Microsoft!

There is no doubt some awesome stuff come out of Microsoft’s Research and Development department but when it comes to handling data and organisation Microsoft falls short against Google and Apple. But as we can see from the video below their new data organisation engine looks like it could be a real game changer. This sort of technology is great at finding what information you want and cross referencing it with other information, I can see this being a real game changer for Wikipedia. This sort of application is very dynamic and could be incorporated as a web app allowing live information to be accessed anywhere in the world with automatic cross referencing. You can download the application today on Windows here.

OnLive! The iPhone can it play Crysis? Now it can!

OnLive is a cloud gaming service that is currently in development, it aims to port games over to your TV, Mac, PC and iPhone. The way this will work is by the game rendering server-side, and any inputs being sent to the server. I first heard of this technology about a year ago and in terms of pure speed through optimization it has come a long way.

The best thing I’ve seen about the technology is how games can be played on multiple devices in real time. Although I don’t understand all the jargon about how they have optimized the network structure, I can’t help to be hugely impressed. The 48 minute video after the break is long, detailed but so worth it. All I can do now is hope the technology arrives here across the pond in the UK. However for you guys you can rock the beta here.
