Spawn Labs Previews New Remote PC Gaming Products at Game Developers Conference 2010; Announces Remote Gaming Latency Reduced to 60 Milliseconds

Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- Spawn Labs, the developer of the first peer-to-peer real-time video processing cloud, today announced that it is previewing its new remote PC gaming products at booth #3012 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco March 11-13. With the latest updates to its software, Spawn Labs also has reduced the end-to-end latency of remote gaming sessions to just 60 milliseconds.

The Spawn HD-720 today gives gamers the freedom to play their Xbox 360, Xbox, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, and Gamecube console video games – either alone or with friends, at home or on the road -- from a network-connected computer as if they were sitting in front of their console and TV. The PC additions to the Spawn Labs product line extend remote gaming support to high-end gaming PC’s, like those from Alienware, Falcon Northwest, Velocity Micro, and iBuyPower.

“We are excited to show off the new remote PC gaming capabilities of our product line,” said David Wilson, president & CEO of Spawn Labs. “Our peer-to-peer approach to real-time video processing in the cloud is unique in comparison to OnLive, oToy, and Gakai, and we believe the peer-to-peer approach offers major advantages relative to the data center model advocated by these other companies. There are a myriad of potential applications of our peer-to-peer real-time video processing cloud platform, and this is the next application headed to market.”

“The 60 millisecond end-to-end latency threshold is significant because we are now right on the edge of human perceptibility of any latency whatsoever in the remote game play experience,” said Peter Walker, founder & CTO of Spawn Labs. “And we have clear visibility to driving latency down even further in the first half of this year to the point where latency is not perceptible at all, even for the most demanding twitch games.”

In addition to its consumer product line, Spawn Labs also provides a private version of its solution for use by game developers. Game developers use Spawn Labs products to play and watch the games on console development kits remotely – either individually or in teams – from homes, across campuses, and even across studios on different continents. Spawn Labs products are currently in use at many of the world’s largest game development companies.

MyGlobalEducation.com Matches Students with Educational Opportunities Abroad

The Latest Site in The CollegeBound Network Spotlights Programs for International Students, Study Abroad Opportunities, ESL Transition Programs, and More.

(PRWEB) March 22, 2010 -- The CollegeBound Network announced today the launch of its latest site – MyGlobalEducation.com (http://www.myglobaleducation.com) – which helps match students to overseas learning opportunities, including two- and four-year degree programs, graduate studies, career education, ESL transition, gap year programs, boarding schools, and more.

The growing demand for this comprehensive site is evident as the number of U.S. students studying abroad, and the number of international students in the United States are both at record highs. New international student enrollments in the U.S. went up 15.8 percent in 2008 - 2009, while study abroad by U.S. students increased by 8.5 percent, according to data from Open Doors 2009: Report on International Educational Exchange.

And, growth is not limited to traditional undergraduate programs. Vocational programs and community colleges are seeing an influx of international students as well. For instance, in Australia, there are currently more international students at vocational schools than traditional universities, as reported by Education Travel magazine.

MyGlobalEducation.com seeks to serve this growing demographic as a one-stop hub of learning opportunities abroad, with in-depth articles and resources designed to help students reach their dream educational destinations. "MyGlobalEducaiton.com takes CBN’s mission of ‘changing lives through education’ to a worldwide level," says Bill Colvin, Director of International Recruitment at The CollegeBound Network. "As the leading postsecondary education portal in the country, The CollegeBound Network is excited to go global, and help an even broader range of students pursuing education outside of their home country.”

In keeping with The CollegeBound Network’s longstanding commitment to offering unique marketing solutions for its partner schools and clients, MyGlobalEducation.com introduces the Cost Per Inquiry model to the international education space. “MGE transcends the traditional directory site by creating targeted and scalable campaigns that not only reach the right students, but also ensures quality leads for our educational partners,” says Colvin.

More than 3.5 million surfers utilize The CollegeBound Network's resource sites each month, which include CollegeBound.net, CollegeSurfing.com, SpaBeautySchools.com, TopCareerSchools.com, Advanced-Degrees.com, Top10ComputerSchools.com, and others.

Since 1987, The CollegeBound Network (CBN) has worked with America's leading colleges, universities, and career schools in connecting learners with educational opportunities. CBN specializes in recruitment lead generation solutions for 1,000+ educational institutions and 3,500 campuses, using its content-rich portals.
