DEMOfall09 - For those of us stuck at home
From where I sit, I'm only slightly more jealous of the weather than the lineup of presenters I'm going to miss in person.
I spent the better part of yesterday getting early previews of a whole slew of DEMOfall 09 companies. I thank whatever higher power you hold dear that not one single company I've talked to has made me wretch with the term "cloud computing."
So what's this year going to be about? Data. As we march forward into the third coming of a brave new data enabled world, squeezing every last drop of relevant info from everything becomes more crucial, less cumbersome and opens to a wider field of players.
Don't feel bad if you couldn't make the flight. Grab some popcorn, and a healthy dose of skepticism over the next big thing and tune into the live stream starting at 8:30 Pacific. And, for my take on some of the companies I checked out yesterday, keep watching the demofall09 tag on Download Squad!
Best of luck to everyone presenting. Now, bring on some new Internet hotness!

Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.
