At its core, OnLive is a subscription service similar to cable TV or Netflix. In other respects, OnLive is what you get when you pump something like YouTube full of steroids. Instead of just watching a pile of videos, you're streaming gameplay at HDTV resolutions and controlling your character in real time. You get Crysis on your HDTV at the highest-quality settings--run by a computer that's hundreds of miles from your doorstep. It's really no wonder Rearden Labs spent the better part of a decade perfecting and designing OnLive.

Blizzard's various websites (official WoW site,the Armory, etc) have all been down for maintenance today, and we had no real idea why. Word is coming in from the EU that the switch to Battle.net accounts that we talked about previously is finally coming about.
 Portions of the official EU site are redirecting to this Battle.net login page.
We knew this would happen eventually, especially since the name of the Authenticator changed on the PTR from being World of Warcraft specific to a more broad Battle.net name, but the fact that it's coming without formal notice is a bit surprising! If you're unfamiliar with what a Battle.net account actually is, it's more or less the same as your WoW account but instead of an account name, it uses your e-mail address and it spans all Blizzard games. Considering the Starcraft II beta is rumored to be starting quite soon, this is probably good timing for the switch.
We have no idea if this switch is happening in the US yet, but it's probably a safe assumption that it will. Or if it hasn't, we'll be seeing it very soon. If we find out more, we'll be sure to let you know.
Update: US.battle.net is now online and fully functional. EU still in developmentell.

 Microsoft has announced that a final version of Internet Explorer 8, the faster (but not quite fastest), web-standards-compliant, default browser of Windows 7, will be available starting at noon EST (9am PST) today. An official update notice won't be pushed out through Windows Update for a while yet, but eager upgraders should watch the IE 8 beta page, or perhaps just the Internet Explorer home page, for an upgrade link around go-live time. But, given what we've learned about big, timed Microsoft releases, you might want to save yourself some 404 error trauma and wait until you get home from work.
