Why implement a step back in tech when they could do BPL? Seems like it is drastically more realistic(see cheaper) in implementation than a wireless network.
Yeah, there are other similar services out there but you have to sit through an add or a couple of adds. That and the voice recognition is not nearly as good, and often the results are bunk.
samsung has a pretty nice feature for their new flat screen lcd's where you can steam you desktop over a network... would work for a laptop from your couch.
If M$ does do this, then I will save me time filtering out Fox News sites while looking for topics. Also gives me the ability to ask "What search do you use?" instead of "What party do you belong to?"
I say go for it.

Now hook it up to solar energy cells. Only problem is getting a constant current... My guess is that you are talking about charging them beforehand, not just running it directly from Solar.
I believe that solar energy is the only viable energy tech worth its weight. Besides, if you count this as anything, my grandfather has had solar cells on his roof for a good 35 years. He has never had to replace them. Most months he still sells his excess produced energy back to the grid. Take that for what it's worth, but this isn't in someplace sunny, it's Oregon.
It's not incredibly hard to implement. I don't know why people are so adverse to solar energy.

When I first seriously started thinking of smart grid applications back in 2002... this is what I thought they would be using...

Used to use this all the time before I got my android. Sure kept my crappy LG phone somewhat relevant.
yer right, my coffee hadn't kicked in yet. It was a good vent though.
awesome!! I might start using it again between my mac and 7 machines.
only problem with synergy is that it's abandon ware. they haven't done an update to it in 4 years.
http://bit.ly/c8FfUK it's like 170 bucks about? Anything else like this that works on a strictly software basis for the video out from a desktop?
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/learningresources/tv/mediasolution/infolive_usersguide.html I don't think you are talking about the same setup. I believe you can either use a standard cat5/5e/6 cable or one of their infolink wireless usb adapters.

first! Honestly though, doesn't everything think it only was a matter of time?
Local TV streaming to my phone.
And about damn time.
