It seems like they are trying to hard. If you are trying to get people to take the stairs, throw a dead skunk or massive pile of dog doo in the "lift." These are "nudging technologies" with a much higher success rate.
The company where I currently work has gone to a cloud for one reason only. Upper management saw "Cloud" on blogs and magazine covers and said "A-ha, this Cloud sounds so much better than my previous buzz word". At that point they officially retired "Web 2.0" and moved in to the "Cloud" era.
You know there are some IT staff with Sony who are getting the double beat down of getting their ass chewed and working an 80+ hour week. Most places I've worked couldn't be bothered to improve security because the people who make decisions are only concerned with ROI as a number and then they attempt to choose the bigger number. It's always foot jammed on the gas pedal on new developments and no concern with of existing infrastructure.
Good thing you said almost because that's like feeling bad for the guy mugging you when he trips and falls when running away. You are right. PSN users are the ones who are really losing out on this deal. Any number of people could have access to your data now.
After a few years you get a virtual wife, the maintenance fees start to get higher and higher. Then you are forced to terminate the contract and find that there's an early termination fee that's equal to half your current possessions.
No one cares what IDE you use and develop apps that will work on whatever platform you are targeting. If you want to use a hex editor to make your web content or draw it out in MS paint and then run it through an OCR program I don't care. Use what works for you and don't worry about what other people are doing.
Yeah no kidding. This is like me buying a car stereo from a guy who walked up to me a gas station and then recoiling in shock when it already has a cd in it. A better title for this article should be "Newsflash: Sometimes People Steal Things"
It's easy. When you first call in, you are given a simple calibration test.
Welcome to the emergency services hotline. In order to properly handle your call, you will be given a simple 10-15 minute calibration test where you are asked to read a series of simple sentences and phrases. To ensure optimum placement in our call queue, you will need to recite each sentence in a calm and even pace. If you do not respond after a period of 1 minute, it is assumed you have perished. Your call will be forwarded to the county morgue for them to collect your remains at their earliest convenience.
Please repeat the following statement in your normal speaking voice: My pimp has stabbed me. I have been involved in a drug deal that has gone poorly......
Awww come on, if "Web 3.0" or some other catchy moniker doesn't catch on, how will I be able to communcate with my VP or marketing guys?
In the past, I always treated phrases/words like "Web 2.0", "Synergy", "Core competencies", "Go Viral", " as my signal to put my brain on idle for a few minutes and take a little nap with my eyes open.
Surely "Web 3.0" is too predicable to catch on. These sort of things mostly get adopted because some people think they are clever.

That 3G data plan will cost an arm and leg
That's why you see so many sharks in black concert t-shirts
Actually, this causes the shark to invert and float to the surface.
Tech buzzwords are my personal kryptonite. Is this anything other than a web application running on top of one or more virtual machine web servers?
The companies that provide the device or the company that provides the network will control the device.
So now I have to wget http://slashdot.org/ | firefox

I used draft horses to run CAT 5 throughout my house.
100 out of 100 are laywers in the US and not the attractive altruistic 22 year old laywers that you see on TV.
Hey, Darth Vader was kinda sporting a black turtle neck. Coincidence? I think not.
So we are essentially a black mask and an app to crush windpipes away from the full package.
It can't be as wonderful as Kip Dynamite signing "Always and Forever" at his wedding. Gosh!

Sounds like you are signing up for all the maintenance headaches of a relationship without any benefit. Just stick with World of Warcraft.
Damn it. They stole the name of my Scorpions cover band.
You come over to meet him and he's not cleaning a firearm. He's double checking the fusing mechanism on his atomic bomb.
He just had a big net.

I was hoping it was written to protect us from the Mel Gibson movie, The Patriot.
