The original headline:
Novell to Drop Standalone NetWare

./ headline
Novell Makes More Open Source Moves

I think that is the crux of the story. I feel this is a damage limitation excercise on the part of Novell.

For a lack of a better word, I will call it pcfication. (Pronounce as you see fit).

What is it? To put it simply, there were the good old days when you had
Your washing machine that did the washing
Your toaster that did the toasting
Your VCR/VCD/DVD player that played the respective media
Your Mobile phone, which you used to make calls
Your PDA, you showed off to your friends
Your gaming console, you played games on
Your PC, you used to download porn

But today:
All the devices are more or less PCs. Okay, the washing machine and toaster are not really good examples, but all the devices in the list can be used as a PC.

So then, one must ask the question: Is there any point in trying to make specific devices to do specific things (other than washing machines and toasters), or do we just go for one handheld PC that doubles as your mobile, PDA, game console, DVD player, and whatnot, depending on how you use it?

I envision a future where you just have ONE device to rule them all.

Yes I totally agree with you. But the point is /. is not a replacement for real life networking

But then... considering the percentage of waking time people spend reading and writing comments on /. I wonder....

1. Many still prefer human face to face (or any other body part to any other body part ;) ) contact to the virtual impersonal environment of cyberspace.
2. Identity theft. You can register yourself as Bill Gates, with BG's photo, on Friendster. Chances are, you'll get away with it.
3. Abuse by trolls. Need I say more?

I keep my personal life well off the internet. I do it mainly for privacy and security reasons.

Friendster, in my eyes, is a vast spam engine. I get dozens of emails from people I barely know as acquiantances trying to be my "friends" on Friendster. No thanks. I know who my friends are. I don't want a website to remind me.

When I was in high school I thought about building my own telescope and looked into how one grinds a mirror by hand. I can't imagine the patience and skill needed to grind a 16" mirror by hand to the perfect shape... Absolutely amazing to me... -----
