With the speed at which this thing operates, you could replace the vast majority of interconnects on a single system with just one cable. If you need precise timings for a given connection then you could easily run that connection through its own cable.
I see no reason why computers won't have more than one of these ports available, just like most computers come with 3+ USB ports (or 6+ on desktops, typically). Worst case is you add a PCI-X card for another port or two.
I wasn't supporting the "browser as an OS" idea, I was just saying that Google's inevitable move in that direction with Native Client and Chrome/Android is, well, obvious. If Google has its way, then your choice of OS will be a moot point. Only your choice of browser will be significant (if your choice does not support their architecture, that is).
As with most things public in nature, complete transparency is the only way to truly combat the problems of deception and corruption. However, in this day and age, money and the search for secure IP drives much of the research community. Companies that put up money for research will fight, for good reason, any action (or disclosure) that will limit their ability to get a good return on their investment.
The bridge between corporate interests and public awareness is heavily guarded. The trolls under the bridge play many roles.
In 30 years the current "Internet environment" will have changed drastically. It is impossible to say at this point if Google, in any form, will be around in 30 years (or even relevant, for that matter).
That might depend on where you are located. I've heard of court cases recently in the US where someone was actually found "guilty" for just circumventing DRM technology (regardless of a prior purchase) and I know there are many more such cases in the works.

Adobe should implement a Java runtime version of Flash. Just because.
There's an Apphole for that?
Or is it shape restricted? ;)
Don't forget the demons of Intel, Microsoft, and Google...
You forgot the 2 in the second line... :p
Better... redirect it to a government site in Israel.
I wish I could mod this up as funny... :p

Well... I didn't know it wasn't happening... :p
Makes you wonder why they purchased it in the first place...
And I thought this article was a reference to Spiderman 2. :p

I wish I had mod points to rate this up. Why is it so hard for people to see the blatantly obvious stuff coming in the near future?
Just wait... they will deny someone the price of one of their competitors' products and it will go public.
Bad times ahead for McAfee, for sure.
Can you lose your virginity to an assumption?
Never waste your mod points on AC.
But master of none, to finish the phrase. ;)

Be careful not to run out of your supply of /facepalm oil. A chafing /facepalm is no laughing matter.
Frankly, we can say anything about anything... and some of us would mean everything we say.
That does not, however, mean we know what the hell we are talking about.
A return to Gopher would be an improvement for a good portion of the HTML space.

Time to re-tool No Child Left Behind! ;-)
NCLB sure has produced a high quantity of tools, however the vast majority of which are not students.
They just started a couple of years ago. So they are feeling around how to spend money. Who are the real players etc....
They have annual reports dating back to 1998 on their website. Last time I researched this, that equates to a bit more than a couple years.
Do I need a citation for this logic?
Understanding is not a prerequisite of one's Internet voice. ;)
Unfortunately...
