The Future of Consumer Electronics

AntiFreeze writes "There is an interesting article from the Economist about the future of consumer electronics. The article seems to tie together a lot of loose strings generated on slashdot, specifically from the Playstation and Deep Blue article. The most important claim it makes is that consumer electronics are not being made in a monopolistic industy, and the fears of people like Eurodef (expressed here) are probably not as large as they seem at first evaluation." This is a really worthwhile article discussing convergence and the difference betweent he traditional consumer electronics and computing companies. Worth a read.

Microsoft expects to lose money on its XBox hardware

And as soon as someone hacks the box to run Linux, we should help MS sell a LOT of boxes.
