OnLive runs games on remote servers and streams them back to subscribers, but until now it's only been available in some areas of the US."

    Most people either don't know or care, would land in similar ping times as others, or just plain wouldn't use it (the tiny hardcore-gamer group that would hate it for other reasons). That leaves them with a considerable number of potential customers who'd like a Steam-esque experience on their TV, without the cost and various problems of a console. That's not to say I think they'll succeed, just that they might yet have a workable product.

    I notice the difference between playing FPS games with wired and wireless mice.

    No you don't. What you have is a case of confirmation bias. In a proper double-blind test you wouldn't notice the difference as the difference is well below a human's response threshold.
