Gaikai beta goes live, brings Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2, Sims 3 and Second Life demos to your browser window

Remember Gaikai , the cloud computing service that lets you demo video games in your browser window without downloading a thing? It’s live, meaning it’s no longer just us tech journalists that get to give it a thorough try. Provided you have a blazing fast internet connection and both Flash and Java installed, four streaming game demos are a just a click (and possibly a survey, or a short wait) away, including three EA titles ( Mass Effect 2 , Dead Space 2 , The Sims 3 ) and Second Life . As we discovered in our initial hands-on , it’s not a flawless experience even with a fantastic internet connection, but it’s not meant to be — the entire point is to allow you to adequately sample a game right before making a purchase decision. It’s also a free taste of the future, and you don’t see those every day.

The nine-dot pattern lock option is one of those uniquely Android things — it’s been there ever since the G1 , and even if you don’t personally use it, odds are good that you recognize it. So when we see it on an iPhone — apparently on an app used by Apple internally — you can appreciate why we’re going to do a double take. What you’re looking at here is one of several screens obtained by 9 to 5 Mac , allegedly showing a version of Apple’s employee-only AppleConnect app with support for pattern locking to keep prying eyes out. It seems that the app enforces some minimum gesture length to constitute a secure lock — and considering some of the forensic science going on there , we bet it’s gotta be pretty long. Of course, none of these means we’ll see the feature show up in an actual iOS build, but the site says that the company’s testing the mechanism in other internal tools… and if nothing else, Apple seems to be acknowledging that lock patterns aren’t a terrible idea. [Thanks, Jacob] Apple adds pattern locking to an iPhone app that you can’t have? originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 27 Feb 2011 21:22:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
