What members on slashdot will do is: build and deploy a satelite that cannot be GPS tracked to orbit around a random planet in another galaxy, with a 2^267709 bit encrypted drive storing the photos of their favourite pornstars.
They will spam all Nigerians with their SSN / CC# and birthpapers.
Only thing I can think of, is it being a fancy laptop for presentations at conferences. Other than that, the main feature which is to be able to free write, using the stylus pen, isnt all that precise when the software tries to interpret your handwriting. I think that the interpreting software should allow some training mechanism, being that everyone has different styles of writing.
It would be soooo cool, if all my scribbles during lectures are readable in the future =).
I actually rather have google maintain my data, and I encourage my friends to do the same.
Back up on their end is reliable, as i would presume my data is redundantly backed up and maintained by a farm of system admins and decent hardware. This is cheap, and convenient for me and my friends, as we don't have to worry about the maintenance and reliablity of our computers as much as we would, if all our important data, such as assignment, projects, etc are stored on our computer. Ofcourse we could do back ups to CDs, flash drives, but that costs us money, and is not as really reliable, as I had a couple CDs ruined in through the summer.
Privacy may be an issue when having these data stored under googles watch, but how private do you really think your data is, if you were running windows like most of my friends and I do, and don't have the time to stay on top of the malware watch, as this can sometimes be inconvenient.
Also I think back in the days of centralized computing on supercomputers and mainframe were an issue because we werent, at the time, blessed with highspeed fiber optic lines like we are today, where latency is barely an issue when working on a remote server, somewhere.
how about a firefox pluggin that supports the programming API as MSIE, so that MSIE specific sites could function under firefox as well. Thats what I need =)
MS already had a chance with netmeeting, but they blew it when they decided to hide netmeeting (activated by running "conf" at the run prompt) in attempts to push their non-standard protocol in msn messenger.
errk nevermind this, I thought vesa was OSS from it being an optional kernal module!
Note to self: posting on/. the first thing after waking up, is not wise!
Note to self: After posting that above Note_to_self, I should probably stay away from computers for a week.

Resistence is Futile!

Bittorrent already works well, and is very economical.

/* Joke, just a joke */
And when it does, can we then associate Microsoft w/ terrorism as opposed to Linux?

The regular grandma as a home user, is just as obsessed over the speed and performance of her computer as her teenage grandson playing HL2.
