So maybe I was not up to speed, but I had no idea Valve was working on this game streaming technology they released today.

I was just playing around with it running some intensive games on my laptop. It works much better than I anticipated with zero configuration needed. I haven't read how it works, but it seems your main PC executes/renders the game and converts everything to a video while you are playing, then the video gets streamed to the client system. So you do see some compression and such overlaying your game. But I have to say for a day 1 release I am very impressed, a steam machine did not appeal to me before, but now I can absolutely see myself picking one up.
