The cloud have just a little advantage over desktop storage. Your content could follow you, not the particular piece of hardware where you have it stored. Will be great that you also be able to do local copies, or remove what you dont want on the cloud from it, but still, the idea of i.e. be able to read a book just like in the iPad, but enabling you to change from location and device to keep reading it looks attractive.
- Takes advantage of the huge amount of available iPhone apps, at least the ones that have sense to be run without phone.
- ePub format for ebooks. Still can be DRMd (and probably with a format that makes it incompatible with other viewers?) but at least is an open format.
- Capacitive touchscreen, what about accuracy? will matter in such device?
- The presentation seems to be more about apps than about device
For a mobile device, still takes the desktop approach of storage (of movies, apps, books,etc), instead of the cloud one. Google could get the edge over them if moves to their cloud the most used parts of that functionality with Chrome and CHromeOS in ANY computer, not just tablets (if manage to calm down people worried about privacy and ownership of that content).
The real announcement will be in 2-3 hours (depending on previous chatting and other products they want to be sure everyone knows about before the big one),and according to the rumors, will be available to the public at least in march.
So, why hurry? Probably won't be nothing earth shattering, with high odds that will be essentially a road to approved-by-them apps, DRMd content, and not so top of the line hardware. Probably there were already announced in CES enough good and open alternatives to it.
Of course,could be big surprises, like announcing a game
or lack of, at least, like when there wasnt patents in general, or lasted a reasonable amount of time, or didnt existed trivial/common sense/"soft" patents.
When i saw the 1st google complaint, i tought that was weird that for one side you have high tech attacks (i.e. the one to steal IP from google, hacking into inside computers using IE6/flash/acrobat/whatever vulnerabilities) and the other was somewhat low tech, social engineering or just shopping into black market to infiltrate into the mail accounts of human rights advocates in China.
If you put both together, assuming that have the same source, could point to someone big enough to be backed by China government, but if were unrelated could be "normal", as in one from hacking groups and other from people intruding in mass amounts of accounts or just "fans" of chinese politics (wonder how much westerns tried to hack or DoS i.e. irani sites when US government/media started to turn on the heat on them). Still could have been sponsored by the chinese government, just that aren't the only suspect there.
Then don't disconnect zombies. Redirect any request from those IPs to a web page that explain the situation and why that computer shouldnt be in the net for their own good, and have as direct download most typical cleaning and other essential at that stage applications, and maybe listing local companies that do the cleaning if the person dont want to fresh format.
Alternate explanation, it IS nuclear, but because
- In the future we invent time deflectors: you attack us with nuclear warheads, we deflect them to the past
- Atlantis legend was true, and they managed to get nuclear power and blow their entire civilization
- Star Trek XXV, plan to eradicate the new Kirk in particular and Federation in general killing all human predecessors a millon years ago
- LHC (still should be more probable than it open a hole thru time and makes a nuclear winter back then than creating now a earth swallowing black hole)
- AVP, low tech (nuclear) version, Is cleaner to play it in some primitive and yet unhabited planet.
Only social conventions? See how media that used to have physical distribution clash about digital age? Internet changed the board for everything, and still 15 years after it started to popularize we are slowly, very slowly, adapting to all that it implies.
What fails most science fiction is that they add a new technology, and shows how it changes one aspect of our life usually towards the plot of the story, but leaves everything else, on how we think and see life, as normal. Maybe it would happen that way anyway, culture don't change very fast, but after some time one would think that we shouldn't be able to understand how behaves people far enoiugh after a critical change.
If they are scared by the odds of creating a black hole in the LHC, then should be hidden and trembling below their beds as are far more probable ways to end the earth, the human civilization or their own lives in any minute than the black hole one. Is almost as possible as creating red matter, with the same attributes than in the movie.
How you sanitize your inputs in a language that checks what is displayed on the screen? Instead of xss or sql injection you could end being hacked by watching a mail attached normal picture if that kind of programming becomes popular.
The wii have all kind of "joysticks", some generic, other that fits better in one or another kind of games, but the computer is still a box hidden somewhere. Wearable computing should go after that idea. The main box in your backpack/pocket/necklace/whatever, and wireless (bluetooth or other tech) "pluggable" IO devices, that can show information and/oir receive input. So you can have a wristwatch touchscreen, display glasses, smart clothes. "Sixth Sense" wearable devices or even plain keyboard/monitors if you want.
Anyway, for that will take more than 5 years to get to an usable and widely available implementation.
If I was a bazillonaire, considering all the evolution that had that game, would buy the rights, and keep the development in the same crazy way it was till now. The Singularity should not be so far away in that road.
A lot of people don't care about local vulnerabilities, until they can be turned into remote or turn "secure" browsers running everything with limited privileges into something that runs with administrative rights.
In particular, if that could be used to turn the "safe" IE8 into something unsafe could lead into more governments asking their citizens to stop using IE, any version of it.
Putting fences in imaginationland should be against human rights. You aren't just avoiding working on some particular character or environment, but in anything similar "enough". And you could had a new/good idea about something existing already.
Derivative works are also creative, the kind of creativity that don't need so much the world building and background explaining as was being done in the original work and focus in the story itself, but it still could be something great, maybe even greater than the original work, or enrich it greatly (and even promote more people being interested in the original work/author/etc).
An example could be i.e. how the Foundation universe was further enriched or completed by works of other great sci-fi writers. This cases were approved by the copyright holders, but the idea could had being expanded a lot more if no restriction to that.
Capitalism is not about being creative, just about making money. While you keep doing money, all good. If that money flow could stop, then is time to make new laws to avoid that happens, like extending copyright time or limiting internet freedom
A giant jump for a project, a very small step for the web. Even if you catch current status of current web video players, Adobe/Microsoft will make sure that their solutions are the "right one", adding things, making developer switch to now "essential" shiny features, or even by deals with all the big video providers in the web. You know, like how the most popular browser used in the places where security matters isn't exactly the most secure one.
If the observed one keeps doing a circular orbit, then probably the other didnt had mass enough to move it, so probably is small enough to not worry about it, even if by extremely low odds is coming here.
What about Chrome Frame Plugin? You could get security (and speed, standards and some other etcs) in internet sites and old IE6 renderer for the intranet, all in the same browser.
They are not ignoring robots.txt, probably just that they understand that file in their slighly different, but in the end incompatible, format. As every other file.

2020 will be the year of the tuxedo, not because how it will look, but for what will be running inside.
If well aren't so focused on netbooks, Maemo should be included. Nokia N900 looks more like a subnotebook than a cellphone.
Some tiny, but damn fast linux mini-distros like i.e. SliTaz could be interesting to put on the mix.

You live in the US? Then why ask that question?

This prototype really show how high we can get with personal flight vehicles.
