You're partly wrong: the column limit is 256 and you hit it accidentally pretty easily.
You design an excel application using VBA that produce an activity report -- one day per column -- and then a coworker of yours want a full year report... boom!
I would prefer see a banner reading 'You're seeing the stable revision of this article. Click here to access the draft for the next stable revision (beware of vandalism).'.
It's like moving a STABLE tag in a revision control system.
The computing power race is merely over -- not that we can't put more power to good use but for actual casual use any processor suffices.
The criteria that governs the choice of a processor are shifting from raw computing power to computing power per watt. Hence even if software's demand for computing power stalls there's room for processor innovation in slimmer, smaller computers.
That's right (for the EU side at least): for example it appears that censored DVDs of famous movies are created and sold in some puritan parts of the US, the directors have nothing to said about it.
In the EU this can't be achieved without the former consent of the directors.
If web services (broad sense : google, amazon, ebay, blogger, wikipedia...; not the WS-* sense) standardize their input/output they are commoditazing what they make a living of.
Their added values are going to drop and new entrants will offer new services built upon the commoditized ones.
The problem is that nobody expects the new services and everybody will recognize them when they appear. It's a hard turn to take for the current rulers.
Is Amazon starting to shoot itself (and its peers) in the foot?
In India, I don't know, but at work (somewhere in France) we are already using this stuff (embedded in JSP tags).
I'm planning the next evol: model replication between the client and the server.
I'd like to add that, despite loud mouthes, it can be used to make the web more RESTful: URLs only locate representations of resources (business objects and processes). The URL-space is not cluttered any more with technical URLs used to page through lists or to request new fields to be added to a form.

Google seems to give a stab at reinventing Lotus Notes/Domino.
I'm puzzled: once I was told the network is the computer and now I learn the flashdrive is the computer.
I'm totally at a lost.

Let Linus go back to Finland and change the Linux license to forbid US citizens to use it because SCO is a US company.
