I wouldn't be surprised if Sony did something like a trade in for Gaikai. Warner Bros trades physical DVDs for Blu-rays here: http://www.dvd2blu.com/ Would you send in your PS3 games for a licensed online copy?

I know Intel has a bunch of software written at the Haifa location, and that they take interns. That being said, I don't know if they take high school graduates or just university students, or if they're currently hiring. However, it's a pl
