Yahoo has a PR of IBM and some other company starting up a gaming grid, a huge area of gaming heaven![PAGEBREAK]
The Grid was built by Butterfly.net over the last two years using IBM e-business infrastructure technology that distributes the processing of video game interaction across a network of server farms, enabling Butterfly.net to support a massive number of video gamers playing simultaneously over the Internet. The Grid is a secure system built on customized software operating on the private network of Butterfly.net.

Video game providers can access the Grid to support their online products by including the Butterfly Grid client software libraries in the games they distribute. These software libraries, along with sample code for connecting mobile devices, PCs and video game consoles to the Grid, are available for download from http://www.butterfly.net.
