moka5 LivePC FAQ is now available
We just made some improvements on our website. First, we have put together a page for the answers to some frequency asked questions (FAQ). You can check it out here.
Another thing we did is to make the website and the forum searchable. The search box is at the upper right hand corner. Give it a try.
New LivePC Engine beta release
We just released a new LivePC Engine beta today, 1.0.7695, via autoupdate and on the website. This is a bug fix release to fix a problem when fetching large (>2GB) LivePCs, such as the Vista LivePC. If you experienced problems where the buffering would get "stuck" at some percentage, this release should fix it.
Thank you all for sticking with us through our beta releases of the LivePC Engine. We do our best to incorporate user feedback and make sure each release is better than the last.

Virtual Machine 3D Acceleration
You may have seen our demos of 3D games running inside LivePCs at CES...well, now you can do it too. It will only let you run Direct3D 8 and 9 games/programs inside a LivePC.
Download this: moka5 3D Accelerator for LivePCs
And follow the directions in the release notes (release.txt).
This is a pre-release so there are issues. ;-)
Live from CES 2007. The final day.
Finally, it's over!! What a week! We are now sitting at the airpot waiting for our flight home.
During the week, we had so many visitors that we ran out of brochures by Wednesday morning. Luckily there is a Kinko near by. We've also given away all our blinking ice cubes and our pens (people love our bright orange color pens).
One of the guys told me that, out of the whole CES, he spent the most time at the moka5 booth. People also love our all-in-one game controller and our 3D graphics in LivePC. We were hot!!
I would like to thank all the people who visited us at CES. Thanks for all the positive comments. I hope you will have a chance to try out the LivePCs soon.

Putting Windows on a diet II

Bring your Videos and Music downloads with You
We just created two new LivePCs for you to play with. One is called PocketDemocracy. It is a pre-configured Democracy TV running on GenToo Linux. People called Democracy a "TiVo for the internet" or a "Firefox for videos." It allows you connect to all of the big video hosting sites and thousands of independent publishers.
Another one is called Songbird. It is a Ubuntu Linux with Songbird per-installed. Songbird is a desktop Web player, a digitial jukebox and Web browser mash-up. It is similar to Democracy but it is for online audio.
