"The concepts of grid computing are not entirely new or unique to IBM. Hewlett-Packard Co. is pursuing similar ideas, for example."
The original submission asked if this would "revolutionize" computing. I doubt it. This is one large company trying to react to another large company. For a company who outsources IT, this might be desirable.
I don't think this would be good as a home computing model. However, as someone once noted "There's a sucker born every minute."
"Our software protects user privacy 100% - while delivering unprecedented results for advertisers." If you believe that, I have some land in Florida to sell you.
I know alot of people who download free software, then express outrage when it turns out to have spyware attached. TANSTAAFL. There is a price to be paid for everything.
"eBay's acquisition of PayPal follows its failed effort to establish Billpoint as a serious competitor to PayPal."
An accepted business practice, but I can't help thinking of the Dilbert cartoon where the PHB says: "we take 2 good companies and ruin them by a process we call merging"

Buried in the article: "Cable companies have another reason for acting now: Because they can" Its all about the benjamins.
When I linked to the site to read the statements on the mic & camera settings, a pop up asking in I wanted to install Flash 6. Umm, no thanks...
