It has been said that the reason apple doesn't want flash on their iPhones is that it would create a competing application infrastructure over which they would have no control. I can see this development reinforcing that position.
This seems to further cement flash as a worthy application environment, especially given the perceived problem in flash appeared to be its inefficiency.
Looking forward to better flash games... (Or perhaps not if im not wanting to procrastinate).
Nobody wants to run ethernet cable to their toaster... so I really think that making cheap Wi-fi chipsets is the answer here. Unfortunately it still costs at a very minimum $5+ to add wireless to something, so it's going to take a little while for a $2 light switch to get these.
Yes. If only wi-fi chipsets were more ubiquitous... that'd drive the price down! Ah, if only there was some way to increase the quantities being manufactured...
Before every 'smart' object in your house decides it needs to do... whatever it is smart objects do.
Perhaps reporting on the kind of cookies being consumed in my smart cookie jar, and my toothbrush can email my dentist if it detects a filling from too many cookies? Maybe they can work together?
(Wireless, less space than normal cookie jar... lame)

But seriously, from a business perspective (putting aside privacy concerns for a moment)
it seems surprising that an ISP that deals with so much user data hasn't done this earlier.
Shouldn't this be posted under 'Ask Slashdot', in order to mobilise the world's best legal minds? Your suggesting a Slashdot user will read a 4,000 page article? RTFA?
You must be really new here.
Because I like to have it physically in my collection. There is just something a bunch of 0's and 1's can't replace. 0's and 1's can't replace 0's and 1's?
What a world!

No wait, I want one of these and the skills to be able to write something cool in c that would actually use it.

Good news about computing freedoms?
