SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Stream Theory, Inc. today announces that it has signed a contract with StreamTech of The Netherlands to provide software-streaming solutions to game ISVs, portals, and ISPs in the Benelux region, Germany and France. StreamTech is a division of Van Der Have Media B.V., a company specialized in editorial and technical solutions for the videogames and entertainment related industry.

Gamers want to get the latest hits quickly. Game publishers want to meet their demand and fight piracy to get their ROI. Traditional methods of getting Windows-based games to market are being made obsolete. CD-ROMs and full-program downloads that need to be installed are expensive, time-consuming and account for sizeable support costs. Software streaming has the ROI advantages of centralized streaming servers and local execution of programs that are delivered on-demand.

Software streaming is an underlying technology that supports utility computing, software-as-a-service and pay-as-you-go pricing. For PC gaming companies and ISPs looking to compete in the games-on-demand (G-on-D) market, software streaming is the technology of choice. Acceptance of software streaming has already captured early mainstream users and continues to provide a competitive business advantage.

Game developers and others in the on-demand gaming market, which according to DFC Intelligence is projected to grow from $1.9 billion in 2003 to $5.2 billion in 2006 and $9.8 billion in 2009, stream software to increase revenue and customer loyalty by offering titles over the Internet for purchase, rental or trial, all with piracy protection and an optimum game-play experience. Software streaming is also a platform that creates new revenue opportunities for regional ISPs who can use it to create games-on-demand and managed services offerings.

"Adding the Stream Theory software-streaming platform to our portfolio allows us to offer products and services that let our customers successfully compete in the games-on-demand space," said Jimmy Van Der Have, CEO of StreamTech. "Besides handling all of the aspects of integrating, hosting, communications and systems management, we are also providing syndication services so that a multitude of game titles become available on the streaming platform to smaller ISPs and portals who could not easily negotiate many separate contracts."

"StreamTech's proven expertise in deploying streaming solutions makes them an ideal channel partner for Stream Theory in Europe," said Steig Westerberg, CEO of Stream Theory. "StreamTech is as focused on and committed to streaming solutions as we are. There is a significant opportunity for both companies to expand the reach within the games-on-demand market and catapult it into wide-spread adoption."

The software-streaming market is built on two markets: games-on-demand and enterprise. Stream Theory leads the global games-on-demand market and Endeavors Technology (www.endeavors.com) leads the enterprise market. Both companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Tadpole Technology plc (LSE- TAD).

Microsoft gets outside the box with software

A decade ago, Bill Gates and other executives at Microsoft decided that traditional packaged software was dead--all software would eventually be delivered via the Internet.

Microsoft's thinking was premature, but not necessarily incorrect, Gates told CNET News.com last week.

"Like many things around the Internet that were predicted to happen quickly, they're not wrong, they're simply things that take more time," Gates said in a recent interview.

Now, Microsoft is quietly working on the technological innards that will one day let the company offer corporate customers what is known in the industry as "software as a service." Some of Microsoft's competitors in the business software market, such as Salesforce.com and NetSuite, have been offering software as a service products for years.

A bit of buying to start the day off!

Tadpole Technology PLC
Daily Commentary 17.3.05


Our system posted a BUY CONFIRMED today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 28.02.2005 (17) days ago, when the stock price was 7.2500. Since then TAD has fallen -3.45% .

Were you eager to go long? Well, without doubt, it was the right time to do so. The BUY signal was finally confirmed, and most probably you have called your broker and placed your long orders with no hesitation.

Don't worry if you have missed this buying opportunity. The market may now give you a second chance. You may still find good prices for buying in the next session.

What website is this from?

this share doesn't seem to be doing very well. wasn't somebody called ainsoph the big expert on these? where is he now?

Yuff - http://www.britishbulls.com/ - just enter the epic of any LSE company at the top of the page (just above middle of the tool bar).)

Thanks Pach.

Yuff, be warned, as I posted on Adv:

Well the candlestick analysis failed miserably so I have decided to sue the pants off that website. My lawyers "Suet and Dai" (official legal advisers to the Welsh Meat Industry) have advised me to sue for fraudulent misrepresentation and reckless prognostication. With words of such gravity and length I feel that success is assured, with only a couple of minor procedural obstacles to overcome: (i) anyone who relies on a website entitled British Bulls should be certified, and (ii) there is a small issue of the disclaimer posted on the site. I look forward to the weekend with increasing optimism, safe in the knowledge that the sp cannot go down any further for the next 2 days. I should warn everyone to take this post seriously - my lawyers are prepared to litigate any issue, however small, against any person, however poor (provided payment of their fees is made in advance). Watch this space... and everyone have a great weekend.

Sound familiar?? That was said about ADVFN today (AFN) on www.britishbulls.com

Computer-generated tosh.

I too have instructed my lawyers, Messrs Sue, Grabbit and Runne.

MM - we will have to join forces. Between us we could make some lawyers very rich indeed.

computers aint smart....the guys that programme them ARE.....now ....there is food for thought.

Yes Super - but it needs commercial nous to exploit the programmer's end-product. Tad management seem bereft of such talent.

Steig had been there 4 months and we have already had a $2.8m deal doesn't seem to be doing too badly. One of those every 4 months and we'll all be laughing our way to the bank

yuff,

1. Market makers are laughing all the way to the bank on a day when volumes are high and spreads are wide.

2. Gem are laughing all the way to the bank when they subscribe to stock at a 10% discount to bid price and immediately sell it.

3. The former directors are laughing all the way to the bank becuase they draw large salaries, haven't lost any of their own money on a dwindling share price and never delivered anything except loss after loss after loss.

Shareholders are not laughing all the way to the bank i'm afraid and I see no reason why they should be in the next 12 months.

Take a look at the chart at the top of the page, yes that's it, that downhill ski slope, yes the one with the blue lines and the red lines representing the moving averages, see the shareprice it's very south of both moving averages.

regards to all

I have to agree Snappy. Tad management have not done enough to halt a steady decline in the sp. A couple of small contracts have not changed investor sentiment - nor has the sp's under-performance had an iota of effect on the directors' salaries.
