It’s pretty obvious that NVIDIA understands the opportunity that’s in front of them, but just in case anyone is oblivious, Research and Markets is making sure the point is clear. With the CPU becoming less and less important (and the GPU, hardware encoders and broadband speeds gaining in importance), there’s a huge opening for fringe processing companies such as ATI and NVIDIA to really capitalize in areas where Intel and AMD have longed dominated.The report states that at least three things are happening at

Microsoft announced last week that it plans to acquire video game developer BigPark for an undisclosed sum. According to the company, BigPark will become part of Microsoft Game Studios. Its developers will “work on exclusive titles” for the Xbox 360. Exclusivity has almost gone missing in the video game industry in recent years.

One of the best ways to differentiate a product in the video game industry is through first-party video games. When consumers go to a game store with a finite amount of cash, they need to decide between the Nintendo Wii, the Xbox 360, or the PlayStation 3. Features like Blu-ray disc compatibility, motion control, or online gaming will play into that decision. But besides price, it's the console's library of games that will weigh most heavily in their purchase.

Software piracy grew last year, accounting for 41 percent of all PC software installed, with losses to companies estimated at $53 billion, the Business Software Alliance said on Tuesday. Worldwide piracy rates rose from 38 percent of software in business and home computers in 2007 to 41 percent in 2008 despite successes in fighting piracy in China and Russia, according to the study done by market researcher IDC for the BSA.

Holleyman said that while U.S. piracy was about 20 percent of the total market, the lowest in the world, it was a major problem because more software was sold in the United States than anywhere else. Holleyman said much of those losses came from small businesses that use unlicensed copies of popular software programs. They might have 50 PCs but only pay for rights to run the software on 25 of those machines. “The U.S. has the highest single dollar loss,” he said.
