Quake III, HD video demoed on netbooks with GMA 500 graphics, Moblin Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Most netbooks released over the past year have 
| shipped with Intel Atom N270/N280 processors 
| and GMA 950 graphics. But a handful use a 
| different chipset designed to provide longer 
| battery life and enhanced graphics 
| performance. While the Intel Atom Z520/Z530 
| processors are noticeably more sluggish than 
| their N2xx counterparts, the GMA 500 graphics 
| chipset shows some promise, and some netbooks 
| with this chipset even include HDMI ports to 
| output HD video to an external display.

Linux users: frag your online enemies without installing an application!

,----[ Quote ]
| This afternoon after I got home from work, I
| fragged my online enemies! What makes this
| remarkable is that I use Ubuntu Linux, and as
| everyone know gaming doesn't work on Linux
| (tongue-in-cheek comment there). What is even more
| amazing is that I didn't install an application to
| do this.

| Also, Quake Live is surprisingly 100% more fun than Farcry 2. Sad
| but true.

Quake Live - Redefining the online gaming

,----[ Quote ]
| Quake Live is great fun. It's a tremendous invention, game
| quality and graphics notwithstanding. What more, it looks
| well, it plays well. You get reasonable graphics, lots of
| fast-paced killing action, for free, inside your browser, on
| any operating system. It's a dream come true!

Open source alternative to browser-based shooter Quake Live

,----[ Quote ]
| The developers behind open source shooter Open Arena have released an initial
| test version of the browser-based version, Arena Live. Arena Live aims to
| emulate Quake Live, a free to use, professionally produced version of Quake 3
| Arena from id Software that's financed by advertising. While Quake Live
| currently only runs on Windows-based systems (with Mac OS X and Linux support
| reportedly coming soon), Arena Live runs in Mozilla's Firefox web browser on
| Linux platforms and will probably be ported to other operating systems in the
| future.

Quake Live at 1Ghz, 256Mb

,----[ Quote ]
| Thatâs Crux, by the way. I expected laggy performance and skipping graphics.
| But framerates are exceptionally good, although I didnât find a way to show a
| number on screen. Iâm not a huge first-person shooter fan, but itâs fun to
| try out.
