Won't this lead to evolution of future organisms that are 100% brain and whose sole purpose is collect all the information in the universe, then scan itself so that it knows about itself, and then destroy the world so that no new information will be added?

Wasn't this along the thoughts of Bill Joy (fromerly of Sun) and his fear of having such open access to critical technology? It is a scary thought that one person or a small group of people can stop the entire human race.
To my fellow Korean brother and sisters -- written from a fellow ethnic Korean across the ocean who also enjoys Starcraft (must be in the genes or maybe there is something embedded in Korean culture that lights up with Starcraft... maybe how the Goliath looks like Taekwon V) -- the words on this thread is true: Starcraft plays equally well on the Mac.
It would be amusing to see an entire nation go Apple. This may be quite possible in Korea. iCountry? iGu? Make Jobs happy. Samsung and LG already do stuff with Apple.
Just 1 successful, motivated, rat with a 'can do' attitude because that is what successful rats do: go where the cheese is instead of wondering, "Who moved my cheese?"
On a related note, I'm pretty sure Kansas City Kitty can clean up the entire island. I've seen her take on an entire gang of choreographed singing rats.
The trend I see is that the cell phone will do to the PC business what the PC industry has done to the mainframe business. Already I feel like the cell phone I use every day is more powerful (and definitely more useful) than the desktop PCs I have owned just a few years ago. I am often a cynic when it comes to hearing what executives broadcast to the world since often times it's most often self-serving and although it's pretty obvious that this recent statement from Sun's exec is self-serving, I do agree with his vision that cell phones will be the main client machines for people to access the web (and information services in general).

Xbox and PS both are game machines worth buying for the living room. I don't see a compelling reason to buy a stero hub. Nor can I picture a bunch of teenage boys rushing home from school to listen to classical music.
Again and again, MS amazes me with their focus and resulting speed when it comes to wiping out competition. They did something very similar against Netscape when they fired back with IE. From my brief conversations with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs is that fear: how quickly will MS deploy 200+ engineers to kill their new product? Kudos to Google for taking that challenge and thriving.
That would have made it way too easy and would not have made it to/. It would go something like this: I thought about embedding a Mac Mini into my wall but decided to buy an iMac instead. *Plonk*

Bulington Coat Factory should buy it just for the PR sake.
Apparently, not too many since there are still sites with not one but two giant flashing banner ads that adds stress to our daily lives.
If Bollywood makes less movies that require so much singing and choreography, that should at least save on payroll for each movie.
On a more serious note, since English is spoken in India, Bollywood has a great chance to be a serious global player in the entertainment business.

Looks like Google is already diversifying at a good rate:

Is there a week that goes by that we do not hear something about Google?
But very cool.
carefully
But everything looks cool on an iPod.

Interesting thought. But stop calling me Shirley.
So 2 companies I have never heard of before are going to merge to become 1 company I only heard about because of their merger announcement. Hmmm.
Inconceivable!

Agreed. It's a fantastic application with a good UI. It's what I imagined Freehand to evolve into.
Interesting. And agreed. It was good that it was mentioned. All things Linux should at least get mentioned here on /. Oh, and stop calling me Shirley.
1. To better to distract the public from their AMD lawsuit, dear. You just can't go wrong when you're against al-Qaueda.
2. Everything does or soon will run Linux.
That would have made it way too easy and would not have made it to /. It would go something like this: I thought about embedding a Mac Mini into my wall but decided to buy an iMac instead. *Plonk*
LinuxDevices announced that there is a new device which uses Linux. OMG.
Get them all in a pay-per-view. I think the Google boys will win.
