Lets Define Lag First

[sarcasm flag ON]
Lag in online games is ALWAYS the reason that you died. When you kill the other guy first, it is clearly an example of your massively superior gaming skillz in action. If you die, it's blindingly obvious that if it weren't for that lag you would have wasted the other player first. Any fool knows that.

Another Turbo Button

Sounds like another "Turbo" button to me.

This was a "white paper"?

This "white paper" is terrible, it's not scientific at all and it offers no explanation of how the new device is supposed to work--or how any such device even could work. Absurd!

well atleast someone gives a crap enough to try

It blows me away that gamers are such assholes about anyone that isn't giant trying to do something new. Everyone use to give Alienware all kinds of crap about their gamers machines. Now Dell goes and buys them! Not everything out there is gonna work, I know, that but seriously isn't it worth trying. You guys know how much it sucks to lag AND how many gamers SAY they lag to make up for the stupid shit they do. All I hear from the developers is that its a net issue or a computer issue but never EVER a solutions. I don't care if these guys do or don't make a product that works I just hope eventually someone will.

endlagnow.org

i think its interesting that some websites such as this one, http://www.endlagnow.org , think that these guys are going to end Lag. they obviously don't realize that Lag isn't something you can 'end'.

especially since they already said in their white paper Lag is caused by network, server, and client problems, not just network problems.

i'll take less ping though.
