Sleep is important to anybody. An employee that gets better sleep at night will feel fresh & ready for work the next day. Show your concern to your employees by presenting them with a foam wedge pillow corporate gift for better sleeping. The pillows does not have to be pricey ones as long as they work fine is good enough. Better yet try some wedge pillows yourself before buying & handing them out to your employees. The cheapest ones are contoured foam donut ring pillows that cost $8.95 at AllegroMedical.com. Employees that do get better sleep equals better work performance which also equals better productivity & in turn better profits for your company.

The internet looks like it will no longer be THE place to watch free porn. No, not funny? Well, I thought it would be a good joke. Anyway, in the near future, circa winter of 2009, a company called ONLIVE will provide folks the opportunity to play the newest games directly streamed to their home computers via the internet. Spend thousands of dollars on an extreme gaming pc? Forget it! Buy the newest gaming console? Forget it too! One will be able to play games on their television too using a cheap ONLIVE micro console with a controller; probably optional but still something that you would need to purchase. ONLIVE promises unprecedented gaming performance but for a relatively small fee as compared to purchasing pricey equipment, of course.

ONLIVE servers provide everything. One can even use a computer that does not have any graphics capability to start playing like an extreme gamer on ONLIVE. These must be some really powerful servers. Interactive video compression makes playing streaming games feel like one is playing on a console or on an extreme gaming pc. ONLIVE is revolutionary. ONLIVE will change how gamers buy & play games! Yes, the best & newest games will be available for rent or purchase. It is ironic how the intro video takes so long to load from their ‘Super’ ultra-fast Cyberdyne systems-type servers. I just hope this blog post does not end up as mere hype because I for one would really like to see ONLIVE be on-live for real! Until then the saying “Too Good to be True” will still echo in my mind.
