Wired's Wish List For 2013

Posted by timothy on from the any-excuse-for-some-rendering dept.

jpt.d writes "Wired has a nice article on what they wish to be for 2013. It is not too far fetched either! My personal favorite is the roll up television screen made of light-emitting-polymer. How about another Apple gadget? Their first item is an iPhone bracelet, including the functionality of a 'PDA, wireless Internet, a mini iPod, and, of course, a phone.' Notice the Apple logo in the picture." I'd settle for ubiquitous unmetered wireless network access.

    you know, that X squared OS by Apple they show on the 2013 wristband is nicknamed Parabola.

  2. Internet access by bm_luethke · · Score: 4, Funny

    I too would settle for unlimited wireless internet access everywhere. While we are at it I would settle for a few million and a supermodel wife who is also a contortionist.

    I've never really cared much for apple products, but damn i want that watch...though there may be problems with the scroll/whatever action if the motion detector always responds to quick wrist motions :)

      Sounds like Bush Junior is already using these... he's tuned out the protesters, the United Nations, and the only voice he can hear is his daddy saying "kill them all, W... kill them all..."

    A few things i'd like to see by 2013....
    Pets that eat poop instead of make it (Thus creating a circle of life between real and artificial pets.)

    A 300 GHz computer with 64 GB of RAM that won't skip or delay even if it wanted to.

    Reassurance that 1 term of a Bush in charge and bad economic times can equate to 2 terms of some other guy in charge for 2 terms and good economic times, and an occasional scandal that keeps things interesting.....

    Oh yeah, world peace and smell-o-vision.

    "Smell you later" replaces "goodbye" in the English language.

  8. Apple? 2013? by shiningsun · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shouldn't they be predicting that Apple will be out of business by 2013?

    I think Moore's law will put you around 1.5THz in 2013.

    But your system will still skip and delay because you'll be running Windows 2013.
