Set to launch in June, the cloud gaming service OnLive, a new gaming service that will allow people to “stream” popular games like “Assassin’s Creed II” over the Internet. This new system is said to work much like watching TV shows or listening to music online.

OnLive will be available to Mac and PC users via a browser plug-in that will let you play games hosted from OnLive’s servers. This is what’s becoming commonly known as “cloud computing.” That also means that players can buy or rent games with older, less powerful computers, without having to purchase a console such as Xbox or PS3.

OnLive also promises to release a “MicroConsole” device, which will let you play games on your TV, later this year. Along with other devices added subsequently, OnLive also will be allowing multi-player user ability on all the game platforms. Making it easier to get your gaming party started.

Steve Perlman founder and CEO said “We want to slow the impact of people jumping on to our servers just a little bit.”

The “MicroConsole” -launching later this year, will be a inexpensive, cassette-sized adapter that plugs into a TV set to stream games. OnLive expects to see the tiny console to be more popular than its PC and Mac streaming service.

In addition to the perks of not having to actually have hardware and software, OnLive is a service: like other online gaming services, you’ll get gamer tags, profiles, the ability to make friends, and chat-but the kicker is that all of this is done via live video.

Many people are asking whether the company’s servers and players’ broadband connections would be able to handle streaming without a lag that would disrupt playing with pauses and glitches. Perlman said it’s working, and “assuming you have a decent Internet connection,” gamers who’ve been testing the service are “playing normally.”

With Youtube and tons of other Flash based videos, it may be easy to assume that streaming video games would be the next big thing. However, streaming video games is a bigger challenge than music and movies, because games cannot be easily compressed into smaller files before streaming over the Internet. That is due to the idea that games are interactive, and requiring instant responses from the game to players. That way, when you shoot at your enemy, for example, the game must respond in real time without missing a beat.

The first company in its industry to offer streaming high-end video games, says it has come up with a new form of compression that lets its game servers communicate with players over broadband connections in real time.

With big names like Electronic Arts Inc., Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the service is well vested. Of course, all services come with a cost, and OnLive will run $15 per month, though you will probably see some multi-month deals before the service hits the mainstream in June. In addition to that, you’ll have to rent or purchase the titles that you want to play, however no specific pricing has been mentioned yet.

This could mean more computer monitors for PC gamers. Without the need to have high end machinery to process all the data evolved it would be easy to utilize that extra energy towards a dual monitor or multiple monitor LCD display. Flight Simulator is a great game to have several monitors for which systems are generally built around the software. With streaming games you can play an untold number of games in which you could turn your computers monitors into a multi-monitor view. Think of a triple monitor display to give a truly life like resolution on a wider viewing angle for the best gaming experience

Here’s a question. Ever launch Excel or Internet Explorer and have to wait a whole half a minute or even up to a minute for the program to open and become usable? Sometimes when you close your browser, does a window on your computers monitor appear saying that “Internet Explorer has encountered a problem,” and asks you to “send error report?” Your computer may even run fine outside of this, however if your programs are taking a long time to open, then it may be because your system does not have adequate amounts of RAM.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory and is used as a temporary storage place for memory by your computer. This memory is in use when tasks are being executed by different programs. Therefore, you should have enough RAM memory to process all the tasks you would be requiring of the computer at hand. If you don’t have enough RAM it will cause a major slowdown of your computer while it is booting up or even just regular processing tasks.

Anything less than 1GB of RAM is not enough nowadays for basic operations. Check and see how much RAM you have by clicking Start, then right-click over “My Computer” and selecting “Properties” from the drop-down menu. Sometimes it can take a moment for the page to populate and once it does, it will tell you how much RAM you have installed on that computer.

Increasing RAM is relatively inexpensive however, please note that RAM is not a universal in its compatibility, so before buying, you need to know what kind of RAM you computer uses. Installing the wrong RAM can lead to several different problems all together.

When considering an increase in RAM on your computer, keep in mind that you are adding a physical piece of hardware to the computer. Be sure you understand that there are some risks involved if you don’t perform due diligence in understanding the RAM requirements of your motherboard.

Find out what the maximum amount of RAM that you can install in your computer. This can generally be easily found at your computer manufacturer’s website. Look up the speed and type of RAM you need for your computer so that you know what memory chips are supported by your motherboard. SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) or DIMMs (Dual In-Line Memory Modules). Also while on the PC manufacturer’s website find out how many slots you have for additional RAM.

Getting to your RAM in a typical desktop computer is a moderately easy task. Unplug the power cord from the back of your computer. Open the case as shown in your computer manual. In most cases you don’t even need the manual to show you how to do this. It is generally a simple matter of unscrewing one or two screws on the back or bottom of the computer and exposing the computer’s motherboard.

Locate your RAM slots. If all of your memory banks are full, you may need to replace your RAM rather than just install more.

To remove old RAM press apart the securing clips on both ends of the RAM slot, and the module will pop up slightly. Lift the RAM module straight up and out of the memory slot.

To install the new RAM line up the notched edge of the RAM module with the tab on the bottom of the RAM slot. The RAM only fits if you line it up correctly so you don’t have to worry putting it in backwards. Press straight down on the module, applying firm but gentle pressure on both ends until it clicks in place, and the securing clips will snap into place.

Replace your computers cover and reattach the power cords and cables. Power up the computer and the system should automatically recognize the new memory.

You should be good to go. Now if that sounded like too much to do then it probably is and you may want to consider purchasing a Super PC computer that can house all the RAM you would ever need the 1st time around. With a Super PC Multiple Monitor Computer you may also use dual monitors instead of a single, and they’re upgradable to 16 monitors! They also have the industries leading turnkey multiple LCD Display adapters.

• Always take measures to ground yourself when working inside your computer to avoid damaging the chips and electronics.
• Use only the memory types supported by your computer. For a list of those, see the manufacturer specifications in your computer manual.
• Install paired memory in the order shown on the system board.
• Always install a single memory module in the DIMM connector 1 before installing memory modules in any other connectors.
• Do not mix old and new memory modules if possible.

A workspace is forever a work in progress as the needs and projects of the user change.

For those of you who strive to improve your productivity, one of the best ways is to double your desktop workspace by adding a second computer monitor to your computer. By using multiple monitors, many computing tasks become easier by allowing you to keep more windows visible. You can benefit from multiple monitors if you do any of the following things:

• E-mail and instant messaging. Work on one monitor while keeping your instant messaging clients open on the other so you won’t have to be switching between multiple windows every time a new message arrives.

• Research online. Have your Web browser up or other research tool on one monitor, and keep a Word pad open on the second monitor for taking notes.

• Viewing and editing digital pictures. Browse through digital images quickly and more efficiently by displaying thumbnails on one monitor and full-sized previews on the other.

How to go about connecting a second monitor can vary slightly depending on what type of computer you’re working with. Creating a dual monitor desktop can be one of the best things you can do and easy to do on desktops as well as laptops and Tablet PCs.

How to connect computer monitors to your desktop computer:

There are a few ways to connect that extra monitor. Generally computer monitors are connected through either a VGA or DVI port. Here’s a brief definition of the three main connectors.

As we see here there are the VGA , S-Video, and DVI. All dual monitor video cards are pretty much going to have one or more of these connectors. Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an analog computer display standard, having 15 pin holes. VGA was the last graphical standard introduced by IBM that the majority of PC clone manufacturers conformed to, making it the universal graphics hardware supported by most systems support without any additional device specific drivers loaded on the computer.

Separate Video, more commonly known as S-Video, and sometimes incorrectly referred to as Super Video, is also an analog video signal that carries video data as two separate signals and have resolutions at 480i and 576i making it impractical as a extended desktop to read text, but may suffice for easily adding a TV for videos.

(DVI) or Digital Visual Interface is a video interface standard designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. Designed to carry uncompressed digital video data to a display, and compatible with (HDMI) and (VGA).  DVI is becoming more and more the standard as digital high definition demand increases.

Just like plugging in any monitor whether its DVI or VGA (DVI shown here), you will need to tighten both sides of the connector. Many computers have support for multiple monitors built into the Windows operating system, and if your computer manufacturer included the hardware, you may be good to go. Look on the back of your computer to determine if you have an available VGA or DVI port. If you do, you can most likely connect a second monitor and take advantage of the dual view capabilities.

If your computer doesn’t have an available VGA or DVI port, you can buy an additional video adapter.  Note: Make sure that your new monitor matches any video adapter before purchasing. Monitors will use either a VGA or DVI connector (sometimes both). S-Video connectors are used to connect to televisions.

When you get that second monitor hooked up, you will need to enable it by extending your desktop to that monitor.  This is done a little differently on each Windows operating system. On XP it will look something like this. Later versions of Windows work fairly the same however the appearance is a little different. Once you get this down, you’ll be able to do it on any Windows Operating Systems. 1st 

Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Settings tab in the Display Properties.

3.Click on the Display list to select the new monitor, and then check the box “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.”

4. You may want to adjust the positioning of the monitors to match that on your desk. This way the mouse will be able to move around correctly in accordance to your visual display.

Once you have this done you will be able to drag windows between multiple monitors as if the two monitors are connected, and when you maximize a window, it will expand to fill the current monitor.

Also here’s a link for some really cool ways to utilize multiple LCD Displays.

Recent news talks about the Google lifting the veil on its planned Chrome operating system. Computers powered by the software will become available later this year and may pose a threat to Microsoft, whose Windows software powers the vast majority of personal computers and most of the multi-tasking world including trading computers.

The new operating system, which is obviously tied to Google’s Web browser, also named Chrome is not trying to be a better version of Windows. Instead, it is aiming to shift users toward its vision of “cloud computing,” a model in which programs are not installed on a PC but rather are used over the Internet and accessed through a Web browser. In Google land, a user’s data will also reside on servers across the Internet, rather than their PC. Already most PC users rely on cloud computing, using their Internet browsers to access things like e-mail, photo albums and digital maps.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at net-books. Google already talking to partners about the project and plan to make it available to consumer’s in the second half of 2010.

Google demonstrated an early version of the Chrome operating system on a net-book during a news conference at its Mountain View headquarters. The Chrome desktop looked similar to the Chrome browser. Using application tabs, which are meant to run the programs people use most, like e-mail or calendar software.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. Designed to be lightweight and fast enough to get you on the web in seconds. Figuring that most of what people experience takes place on the web, Google has gone back to the basics and completely redesigned the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

A net-book using the operating system booted in seven seconds, and Google said it was working to make the start-up time even faster, however they we’re reluctant to share information regarding which hardware makers were planning to build machines that used the operating system, but said it would work closely with manufacturers.

Google is pushing to make net-books that are slightly larger than today’s models and include full-size keyboards. I imagine this could become a rival to the ipad and the OX as well. Let’s see!

 Researchers Find Advantages in Multiple Monitors

 According to a NEC-Mitsubishi Press Release I found mega surfing, Multiple Monitor Computers are on the rise in oticable productivity increases. The following is an exert of what I read. There was a lot of mumbo jumbo however I put in the best information here along with handy and helpful links to comparable products I think you can get an idea from. For your convenience of course.

Two Monitors are better than one 

Multiple Monitors (also known as Multi-Monitor, Multi-Screen, and Dual Monitors) are all synonymous terms referring to the use of more than one monitor, connected to a single computer, and controlled by a single mouse and keyboard. This type of setup allows you to visually interface with more than one program at a time, as well as compare charts, and use “copy and paste” across multiple screens.

  Who wants an Extra Monitor or Two?If you’re currently using or plan to use Windows XP or Vista, did you know that you can configure your desktop run Multi-Screen Displays? It’s easier than the average non-techgeek might think, and this blog is going to give you step-by-step instructions on how to use this awesome feature built in the Windows operating system. The whole process should only take the everyday novice only a few minutes to get you out of the stone age of single monitor computing and into the now with Multiple Monitor Displays. This is a very efficient way to get that Dual Monitor Setup, and once you try it, you’ll never want to go back to one monitor again, I guarantee it. Instead you may be on the search for the most accessible Dual Monitor Video Card or at least a Dual Monitor Adapter to satisfy your new found productivity multiplier.

 Reason why I love using a multiple monitor computer

The days when nerdy computer geeks isolated themselves in fear of persecution are far behind us. Today Bill Gates still reigns as the savior of geeks all around the world, and with all due glory. Now that many so-called “computer geeks” are becoming wealthy, the age of ostracizing the computer savvy is coming to an end. Although the road to true computer geekdom is long and torturous, the benefits are well worth it.

 Two Monitors please

Dual computer monitors can come in different designs, styles, colors, and types. Therefore it is important to have a general idea of what to expect. Whether its a light duty load or heavy duty load, the strength of your mounts will depend on what class it is.

A dual monitor wall mount can have many useful features to easily rotate the monitors, and to tile the arm to the desired direction. Mounting your dual display on mounts can have the advantage of saving space, the ability to move monitors in desired directions, ability to rotate monitors to view the monitor contents in a landscape or portrait view, giving those dual monitor backgrounds a good look. There can be other advantages to using a dual monitor screen stand as well.

Multiple Monitor Computing: A Significant Productivity Trend in its Very Early Stage of Adoption

Multi-monitor, also called Multi-display, Multi-head, and Dual-Monitor, is the use of multiple physical display devices, such as monitors, televisions, and projectors, in order to increase the area available for computer programs running on a single computer system. Microsoft describes this setup as “one of the best ways to improve your productivity”. Randy Pausch recommended multiple monitors for improving personal productivity in his Time Management lecture. Contemporary versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and X Window System (used by GNU/Linux) all support multiple monitors. Dual monitor support once depended on specialized proprietary video drivers supplied with few video cards, along with a multi-display-supporting GUI system. Support for multiple monitor configurations was added as a standard feature in Microsoft Windows in Windows 98. It has been a standard feature in all versions of Apple’s Mac OS X (introduced in March 2001), and was a standard feature of the first color Macintosh II introduced in 1987. By adding up to two additional video cards, the Mac supported up to three monitors, although operating system support for multiple monitors wasn’t introduced in Windows until the mid 1990s. The all-in-one Mac SE/30 featured a small black & white screen, but could drive an external color monitor.

Get it Now!

Some of us are easily dazzled by technology and for Farhad Manjoo, (Writer for The New York Times) a trip to Google’s sprawling headquarters in Mountain View, California was “a delirious experience” he says. In one article he mentions seeing a replica of SpaceShipOne, computerized toilets, and  solar-cell-covered parking lots. However what caught his attention the most was what he referred to as ”pedestrian” programmers’ desks, and more specifically their computer monitors.

After meeting several Gmail software engineers, he discovered each sported a spectacular configuration of screens. Based in many different configurations e.g. pairing wide monitors with tall ones, huge screens married to small ones, and several displays in a series. He said the impression was “in addition to building a Web-based e-mail system, they were helping Norad keep tabs on the nations airspace.”

For years now, we’ve all seen the multi-monitor displays in movies, on TV, and even in the real world. The many studies by specialists in human-computer interaction suggest that combining multiple displays can significantly enhance your productivity. The theory simply being that the bigger your display, the more of your work you’ll be able to see and the more you’ll be moved to do.

Global electronics company NEC, and researchers from the University of Utah conducted a study of office workers who regularly perform several common tasks. The only difference was they used various monitor configurations. The results clearly showed that people who used 20-inch dual monitors were 44% more productive at certain text-editing operations than people using a single monitor.

It wasn’t long ago that multi-monitor displays were reserved for stock brokers, film editors, and Google engineers, but not so much for the average Joe in the office. However, prices on LCD panels plummeted by almost a third and continued falling thru 2009, making getting that dream desktop more feasible. 

With that in mind Farhad decided to set forth upon a personal quest for multiple monitor Zen, so he got his hands on several displays and paired them up in every way possible.

First he tried using two 22-inch Dell wide-screen monitors side by side, creating one very wide screen that measured roughly 38 inches diagonally. Then, he rotated each display so that its long side ran vertically which allowed him to read a full document on the screen without scrolling. He said he even copied a style he saw at Google when he placed one screen vertically and the other horizontally- basically forming the letter T as if on its side with the wide screen used for working with side-by-side windows, and the tall screen for focusing on a single, long document.

He also tried a couple configurations with his laptop including one wide monitor and one tall monitor. He said to have found the “Cadillac Escalade of displays” when he combined an enormous 30-inch wide screen monitor to the equation, and confirmed the researchers’ findings.

As office workers, we all know getting things done on the Internet can be very distracting, for even the best of wills. A typical desktop monitor 19-inch diagonal is really only the Honda Civic of displays. The world wide web is generally a wormhole that routinely pull us off track. Switching thru browser windows each time we look something up, but as soon as you do so, all traces of previous work will disappear from the screen and we forget about the original tasks at hand, and falling into a deep browsing trance, and wake up wondering how in the world you ended up on some other topic having nothing at all to do with your work.

A larger display may not remove all the distractions of everyday surfing, however it can blunt their force by giving you more room to position windows and still being able to see your work, you’ll more than likely be drawn back to it sooner if you can see it.

Farhad had found that it wasn’t just that multiple monitors reduced distractions; the setup also increased hid efficiency when he did finally get around to working, He would typically use two main programs when writing articles-Word and some other text editor in which he compiled all his notes. He generally switches back and forth from both programs simultaneously. Transferring pertinent data from emails or the web, then to Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and Power Point presentations. 

Jane Payfer, as chief marketing officer at Ergotron, (the company that makes some of the most ergonomic monitor stands available today) says frequent tasks presents a cognitive challenge. Every time you bring up a new window on your screen, your eyes and brain need to orient themselves to the new pectura, a bit of mental processing that can slow you down. On the other hand, with a multi-monitor setup, the brain rests easy. Farhads notes can sit on one side of his dual screen while his Word document sit ont the other and he says when he focuses on one program he doesn’t lose his place in the other.

All in all Farhad found that two 22-inch monitors, one placed vertically and the other horizontally, was a much more cost-effective way to bolster his productivity, than adding a 30″ monitor.

One should note however in order to run this setup, you’ll need a computer with dual monitor capabilities. This is achieved with a multi-head video card that can be installed or by using a multi-monitor adapter.
