You can get a laptop for $260, and a nexus 7" tablet for $199, and a phone for $5-600 a desktop with keyboard monitor and mouse for $600. Soon all these things will converge with nothing more than a form factor snap in. Even if I had to get $1000 worth of equipment it'd still be significantly cheaper.
because memory and storage are not cheap and neither is synchronization even as a software problem. Just because the CPU may be cheap doesn't mean the entire thing is cheap. Also as the power of the processor increases to the point that it could replace a desktop for most tasks I doubt it will remain quite as cheap.
except all the devices i mentioned are 90% identical except for form factor. You are sharing the 90% and getting the specific form factor to be perfect for the individual task as needed.
Imagine a world where you get home, pop your cell phone into a doc and bang you're running your phone as a full desktop with all the cpu/memory power+some of your current giant 500 watt system sitting under your desk, but it still has a standby battery life of days and full usage of hours.
Then you feel like laying in bed and reading a book, you pop your phone out of the desktop doc and doc it in your 7-10" tablet device and bang you're running a tablet with all the same apps and data.
My 30.06 is semi auto. My.270 and 7mm Mag are both bolt action. I like the bolt action as they do shoot better and straighter most of the time. I never changed my hunting style while using either one though.
And all actual OSs are becoming hypervisors. Pretty soon you'll turn on your computer and your hypervisor will start. It'll boot your desktop GnomeOS which will have shortcuts to boot your Browser OS, Office OS, IDE OS, etc...
IMO, outside of pure mathematics, there is no such thing as facts. Merely opinions based on observations backed by more or less evidence of varying quality.
I don't care why, I just commissioned a study to find out that "I am awesome!" For $50 grand I can do a study, using the same or similar methodology to find out that you are awesome too.
I payed for a data plan that had restrictions on use. I didn't pay for just data. It's not like I could store up all the data and use it later either. I payed for a car but there's still restrictions on where I can drive, how I drive and where I can park it.
I don't know what that number is from. I personally have worked in more than 800k of Data center space in Phoenix, and I haven't been in even a small percentage of the data centers around. Ebay/Paypaypal is almost half that total and theirs isn't even the largest any more. IO, Wellsfargo, First data, Go Daddy, Amex, DHL, ASU, Motorola all have large data centers here.
or better yet just track their speed and let them run as fast as they can, then pick the fastest speed and extrapolate that to what ever distance you wanted. I could run a marathon in just over an hour because I was able to burst my speed to almost 20mph at one point.
How is it anything even close to theft? I just checked my bill and everything I signed up for was right there. They didn't charge me anything for tethering because I said not to. If someones willing to pay for using Verizon's network in ways Verizon didn't intend how is that theft?

nothing and I repeat nothing is truly necessary. Anyone telling you different is trying to sell you something.
Ballmer ordered this, he's been trying to flush Microsoft down the toilet since Bill left but it's not going quite fast enough.
stupid or not it's coming.
Because even "small" personal blimps would be rather huge, slow, unmaneuverable and impossible to park anywhere their may be a slight breeze.

Maybe because you have to put it somewhere. The dock could double as a charging stand as well...

I was trying to use only current established or very near future tech. That would require something that isn't even in a mock up capability yet.

"Great, but....
Terrific, but..."
Thanks, I work out.
Ok, I'll stop feeding the troll.

No
You meant "Only hotter and with bigger power and water supplies."
Seriously Phoenix has great power and water supplies they just don't get it from the sky very often.
Dont forget the large number of data centers in Phoenix. There's probably more 100k square foot plus there then all the rest of the US combined.
That's how the government works. Everyone can get benefits except you.
Right in the pet store it says, "Do not tap on glass"
