I agree... corporations, perhaps small businesses, have the desire to run remote office apps. I would like to be able to deploy my own office apps (perhaps bought from microsoft, adobe, apple, or whatever) but also install a server on the company webserver, so that instead of using a VNC or remote desktop, these applications can be run remotely, securely, and without requiring as much bandwidth or load as a fully public service (zoho, google, meebo). The idea of VNC and remote desktop is great, like gotomypc services.. but I think the real advantage would be using any web browser and browsing to your personal domain or rDNS, then accessing your files and apps on a limited scale when you're remote, but still being able to access those files and use full-featured software installed on your home or office computer when you're there.
on another note, I agree that the legal actions being taken are LEGAL, but retarded... I hope it's just a small fine and not like prison time or anything. And this is proof that our legal system is focused on catching criminals that they CAN and not the ones that matter.

160 GB and h.264. ...but I agree that the ipod isn't the God of mp3 players, but it works for me because of it's size.

I'm so glad weed made it into this discussion...
