Sony Purchases OnLive and then kills it
Sony has purchased OnLive, one of the more popular online game streaming services. With the buyout Sony now holds all its patents. However this was a strategic move, OnLive services will cease to exist after April 30 2015.
OnLine will no longer collect subscription money and its customers can use the service up-tp April 30. This includes OnLive Game Service, OnLive Desktop and SecondLife on the Go.
It is unclear what will happen with the 80 employees. Sony probably will use parts of the technology and infrastructure of OnLive for its own PlayStation Now service. Earlier Sony already bought and killed Gaika.

Samsung and AMD
Gobble Gobble.
Anymore news on Samsung buying AMD yet? Anyone?
It appears that Samsung wants to acquire AMD because AMD holds a license to make x86 related materials. So they may just do the same thing they did with Onlive. Buy AMD, kill it, acquire their licensing and talent and produce their own chips.

I dont see them ever killing off AMD. Personally I would think Samsung would give AMD the needed boost finacially to get them going on chip performance they need. AMD could easily produce the SOC's for samsung in house at that point. Wishful thinking.
I just see SONY intergrating all of the onlive tech etc into their own systems just like Nvidia did with 3dFX.
