I don't know, but I think my generation (1 behind the youngins') is used to developing their own stuff in a changing development environment (Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, Obj-C, C, C++. Java, Pyhton, Tcl, PHP, SGML, HTML, XML, sh, csh, bash, basic, VB, C#). Development's been more stable nowadays with C/C++, Java,.Net, and LAMP dev. I haven't see
Our younger folk is used to using different technologies in a changing application environment (yahoo, google, win98, winxp, osx, desktops, laptops, mobile pdas).
In the end, I think the older generation can develop the better tools. The new generation can create the better apps. Just like in my generation, the older gen was better at creating the h/w tools for us to create great s/w frameworks. Hence why the newer gen needs the older gen.
Really, we'll be back to the stupid usual reality shows gimicks, politically correct talk shows, over-paid writer sequels, and recreation of a classic JJAbroms style movies.
I admit, the last 2 months, I've likely seen the best live-recorded shows ever--I mean Leno, O'Brien, A Daily Show, and Bill Maher have been the most entertaining in ages. They took risks and it was good. Now with their writers back, it's likely back to go ho-hum, just enough for ratings.
Google is tied to all their content cause that how they make money (it IS related). Also, no different if a 3rd party choose not to cut down on the abuse--now you have 2 parties to convince to not abuse. Do no evil is subjective remember?
Clients will get faster, pre-caching will be the norm, etc... Servers and the network will be faster too.
JSON and such is a bandaid since it's all about streaming today, why? because NVP nomenclature is easier than XML and the technology is slow. Why is the technology slow?, cause we're send the same stuff all over the place--inefficient web pages rule!
XML is to the semantic web where as JSON/YAML/etc.. is to Google. Guess what? The semantic web is finally catching on with real accurate results where as Google results are now more confusing...
I think Tippett's right, most corporations are living in a house of cards--it's securing the net in some cases and in others it's the reverse--most firms are taking a shotgun approach with vulnerability research and patching.
I see it being more related to the medical field, prevention is great idea (and has been a popular topic lately), but treatment is just as important and not to be forgotten.
I think he's really suggesting that business practices slow down--for instance, sure it's a painful to have a 15 letter password, but I'm pretty sure using 1 15 letter password for all your 7 important accounts is more secure that 7, 5 letter passwords...
Looking at the authorized bidders profile:
Larry,
Richard
and Minnie
, they look like a good team for a new venture. This sounds like a new company will be created and made just part of the Google family (cough, empire).
When you can lie, cheat, steal, have virtual no responsibility for your actions in VR worlds aside from "pay more $$". And the worse case is you can be flamed or 'used' by the RIAA (which so far is a slap on the wrist to 99% of folks out there).
Flip-flopping is usually a result of listening to the people. And results in a revelation or epiphany. And it's easy to point out the scam artist as well. I wish the general population would 'get it'.
I mean really, social law is just that, social, where people change their minds and attitudes over time. I mean look at all the baby-boomers: from young free spirits to old greedy bastards. It's not natural law as the simpletons of the USA would think.
Flickr will be a wedge--I know a lot of folks hate the Y! AJAX framework, but even Google uses their specs (RSS Schema) for search results last I recalled.
I'd rather have google buy Y!, but that would be a true monopoly.
Multitasking can help improve the brain function, and enhance memory too in the end. But in our current learning paradigm, and corporate environment of faster, faster, faster--well we've become inefficient due to the lack of time and lack of meaningful priorities.
Either give the mind more time or change the learning paradigm. Otherwise, we are truly becoming inefficient with conditions like ADD.
basically making music free and destroying the music industry is a good thing...
Cause all those musicians, i.e. high school drop outs that did nothing but smoke drugs and ignore the law will now be worthless. And the prefab no talent, lip-syncing 'musicians' would be worthless. Cause they're not worth the XXX million dollar contracts the labels think they're worth. And we, computer MP3 hackers, will rule the world!
The market (and real musicians) will find another way to make money. Money is not hard to make folks--and a monopoly or complete control of the system is "dead stupid money making"...
Remember Mac users are invincible. They goto genius bars for complex issues! Just because it says don't use it, if they think it (Think!), it will work.
Using the sensor array as recorders vs lens/projectors.
Overlaying is great if the mind can make the information useful--and judging the internet, not much usefulness from all that information (or is it DATA?).
With nanotech, I look forward to taking pictures/video without even picking up a device and getting a true sense of taking a life-like photo. A true point and 'click' (well there' no click in contact lens). Wearing contact len cameras will sure elevate social networking (or social recording) to the next level, too.

And the world is complete again.
Line of sight.
radiation pressure folks. It's there, it's proven.
A duo core, 40GB solid state, USB, Bluetooth, and Wifi and can run linux, I'm all for it.
I thought linux offered good value (free) and a superior product (apt/yum/security) that is industry proven (based in UNIX). MS? right.
What ever happened to NASA and DARPA building the virtual ground station (i.e. getting rid of ground stations)?
According to Hollywood recent flicks, that's like being sort of a hero.
Private company, private attitude, private decision.
The blog maybe right (information-wise), but it still can't stop people for doing something, right or wrong.

6hr battery life, water resistant, dropped several times, still runs like a champ. (used in a car environment). A bit to type though.
Of course, that's if they win the auction.
Of course it'll be safer.
And sprinkled in with some sarcasm and cynicism. In otherwords, realism?

And all of Iran's computers will overflow.

FYI, you know, we are going to hit 1 billion dollars for marketing (cough: campaigning) for the presidential candidates this election...
