Live from the Codebits keynote

SAPO announced "meo Jogos", a gaming service that runs on your TV! This service, provided in association with Playcast, will allow gamers to play games through their TV. It works by sending the user input to the Cloud and then streaming the game's video and audio straight to your TV. Pretty cool!

I think there will probably be some problems with latency, but that's not really important for every game genre, so there's lots of potential.here. So what do you think? Leave your opinion in the comments.

Update: Apparently, it will be a thin client on Windows XP. It won't be launched on the meo box, at the moment. You can try it at the Laptops in the lounge, or check out http://jogos.meo.pt.

Welcome

Hello, dear reader, and welcome to Ramblings in Tech.

In here, personal time permitting, you can expect to read comments on current tech news and issues. For starters, I will be attending and, therefore, covering a nerdgasm-inducing tech event: SAPO Codebits 2010! I hope you find the content interesting enough to stay tuned for more. If you like what you read, you can also follow @jmfs87 on Twitter. A significant portion of the posts are in Portuguese, though.

See? I'm rambling already! This is gonna be great! ;)
