There are computers everywhere. But the smart phone is similar to a PC than microwave oven.
Do these "most commonly owned computers" that you mention offer general-purpose functionality when connected to an external monitor and paired to a Bluetooth keyboard, including the ability to take one tool's output and use it as another tool's input without needing each tool to be specifically aware of the other tools?
GE has a line of Bluetooth-enabled appliances. Not sure about external keyboard and monitor support.
Supposedly Apple has Mac OS (or OS X) running natively on ARM processors. The only emulation needed will be for legacy programs, which is what they did for PowerPC programs after switching to Intel processors.
Turns out I've rode a bike from San Francisco to Google's campus.
The Internship movie shows someone getting on a Google bike in Mountain View and then getting off the Google bike in San Francisco. Without breaking a sweat. Those Google bikes aren't really good for long distance riding. The Mountain View police are known to stop and question anyone riding a Google bike far away from the Google campus.
Google's an easy target; this is hardly the first time.
My pet peeve is not Google but the media's tendency to identify Silicon Valley with San Francisco. The two regions are 50 miles apart. The Internship movie made it appear that it was a bike ride away.
This is no different than the paranoid Christians who believe that the book of Revelation describes the imminent end of the world.
I used to belong to a church that preached being faithful to the end. When 1999 came and went, we waited. When 2000 came and went, we waited. When 2001 came and went like previous years, and the founder started preaching being faithful to the end of your lifetime, he got tossed to the curb. After 30 years of waiting, no one wanted to put with him for another 30 years.
From a climate perspective, the 20th century was a very stable warm bubble without any of the little ice age spikes that struck previous three centuries (i.e., 1850, 1770 and 1650). From a population perspective, the population doubled TWICE in the 20th century but won't even double ONCE in the 21st century as an aging population dies off.
I'm over 50 and the amount of technical progress I've seen in my lifetime is staggering, and there's no reason to think it will slow anytime soon.
The American people elected someone who thinks climate change is a hoax by the Chinese and plans to eliminate NASA's climate science budget. If ignorance becomes the rule and not the exception, the future won't be very bright.
The U.S. will over a million job openings for skilled IT workers in 2030 that can't be filled. Mostly because healthcare will pay significantly better and everyone with their grandmother will be fighting to take care of all those baby boomers.
Now rather than those people working with you as co-workers, they will work against you in state backed companies in their homeland.
That's not necessarily the case. They will probably go into industries that are underdeveloped than the U.S. and won't compete directly with U.S. workers.
Their talent didn't disappear, but instead of working to build US they are now working to compete against US...
Those workers will be building up their own country as a growing middle class demands more in products and services.
This over the top consumerist planet killing lifestyle we have enjoyed since then is quite an anomaly, and won't last.
I read somewhere that the 20th century was probably a historical fluke in comparison to the centuries before. Things will probably get worse in the coming centuries.
Doesn't apply to me. I've never been offshored in the 20+ years of my technical career.
2. Our bitches in Congress won't allow Trump to do anything like throwing out H1-bs - it's a done deal already.
China and India will recall their workers back when it becomes obvious that America is a dangerous place under Trump.
3. Trump supporters are looking at Carrier and other manufacturing businesses that are automating and will can people anyway, meaning they'll never notice the "over paid" office workers getting it and nor do they care. Trump is a symptom of class warfare - ironically enough.
Crony capitalism. What else is new?
4. Sorry, Trump isn't the great Orange Hope you were hoping for.
That probably explain why people view me as being poor. I don't have a big house with an underwater mortgage, the newest cars on lease or $180 designer jeans. I'm never stressed out that I don't have the latest toy than the guy down the street.
Slashdot Mirror
TRUMP! Was Most 'Talked About' Topic In 2016, Says Facebook
FTFY
The key word is "taxpayer." If you don't pay taxes, you are not really a person.
*cough* Trump! *cough*
They should invest in the US by building a fucking factory here.
Apple is building a dongle factory in the US.* That should make you happy for an hour or two.

Now, some dumbass with Microsoft is saying: "The cellular network is the computer."
It is when you consider that the most commonly owned computers are smart phones.
So you're saying it'll run Crysis?
The Cyrix processor was a nice low-end processor with great Linux support back in the Socket 7 days. But no one wants to emulate that processor today.

No, I don't want to write 90% of a web application and then fight your dumb terminal to display it.
You don't support Lynx text browsers? Bastard.

Oh, so China and India don't do it.
I find your lack of faith in Mother China and Mother India disturbing.
Make that anti-US, fucker. The Americas neither begin, nor end with your swamp.
Tough crowd tonight.
Silicon Valley and San Francisco are a bike ride away (as shown in The Internship).
Thank you, US citizens, for the gift.
Is this anti-Christian or anti-American? Hard to tell with fake comments.
How are they going to recall their workers? Do they ring some kind of big bell?
Mom calls to tell the kids to come home, get a new job, find a spouse and start having grandkids.

That's just what the government wants you to think, man.
I work for the government. I'm here to help. :P
Vinyl is the new coffee table book that people are expected to see but not read.
That's quite shortsighted.
The U.S. will over a million job openings for skilled IT workers in 2030 that can't be filled. Mostly because healthcare will pay significantly better and everyone with their grandmother will be fighting to take care of all those baby boomers.

so basically you are cattle
Why would I be "cattle" if I'm not following the herd that's stampeding for no reason at all?

1. We're offshoring next year Q1.

I voted for Hillary. She had bigger balls.
A "modest lifestyle" is for slaves and peasants.
That probably explain why people view me as being poor. I don't have a big house with an underwater mortgage, the newest cars on lease or $180 designer jeans. I'm never stressed out that I don't have the latest toy than the guy down the street.
I wonder when we'll learn that lesson...
When people stopped chasing after the American Dream to have it all and learn to live a modest lifestyle.
