OnLive, if you aren't aware, is a cloud gaming service that runs game executables in the cloud, allowing most any device the ability to play the most demanding games, regardless of local hardware or operating system.

I would like to suggest the foldit team look into having foldit hosted on OnLive. I foresee few technical difficulties, and such a partnership would only benefit all parties involved. Since most foldit users are likely biology, science, or puzzle geeks, getting the game on OnLive would present it to a wider audience. Foldit is the perfect sort of game for OnLive as well; requiring few twitch-reflex movements, the imperceptible lag with OnLive would be of no concern.

I really feel that a partnership between OnLive and Foldit would be a perfect match, and I'd love to see two such revolutionary ideas come together.

It may be good idea for ppl that have good connection and bad hardware… if any like that are there :P
On my connection OnLive is unplayable (too jumpy).
