Google TVs get gaming service
The OnLive gaming service is to be made available to Google TV users, following a deal with electronics firm LG.
One of a handful of firms making hardware for Google TV. LG`s G2 series sets have Google`s TV service built in.
Rather than using a dedicated device, OnLive`s cloud-based gaming service relies on fast net links to let people play popular video games on demand.
People using Google TV via an LG set will get OnLive via an update and it will be standard on all future devices.
The deal was unveiled after Google itself revealed a broader update for its TV service. This added voice searching and updated other applications to make it easier to find programmes.
To be able to play games users will also need to buy a wireless controller that, in the US, costs about $50 (£31). A demonstration of the gaming service running on Google TV was first given at the Electronic Entertainment Expo held in Los Angeles in June.
Games available via OnLive include Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders II and Civilisation V. Rather than use disks or downloads, OnLive streams game data to users as they play.
OnLive was embroiled in controversy earlier this year when its founder, Steve Perlman, sold the firm`s assets to a venture capital firm for $5m (£3m). The deal meant early investors in OnLive got almost nothing and it also wiped out any return for employees from staff share deals. Mr Perlman left the company soon after.

Twitter unveils email
Twitter introduced a new feature to the globally popular one-to-many text messaging service the ability to email "Tweets" directly from the message stream.
The new feature made its debut as the San Francisco-based firm rolled out improved applications for using the service on iPhones or smartphones powered by Google-backed Android software. "You can retweet any (Twitter messages) to your Twitter followers, but sometimes you want to share with another group, like your college roommates or your parents or a friend who isn`t yet on Twitter," engineer Stefan Filip said in a blog post.
"That`s why we`re introducing the ability to email a Tweet directly from twitter.com." Updates to Twitter applications for iPhone and Android were designed to improve search results and highlight photos, videos and news shared at the service.
The feature will be rolled out to all users of Twitter which allows its members to post brief comments, links or pictures in the coming weeks, according to Filip.
