and a clever looking barcode scanner which can read the barcode and bring you to some predetermined content!
or
using ultra-high-powered computers, digitize the book, eliminating the need for printed materials and sensors altogether!
the future never looked better.
im so happy to be alive!
i realize that it requires the option-key to boot into windows... but if wake-on-lan can "power up" a machine, it can certainly "hold down an option key" if apple's developers needed/wanted it to. no?
for the majority of the users there will only be OSX on their Macs...they don't really have a choice.
but for those of us who need(shiver) windoze it is a welcome option... and there's sure to be an accessory or control panel which will toggle the boot method.
After a little while it will be sold to Google or Yahoo.
i was using furl.net for about a week before discovering delicious (i use it to consolidate bookmarks across my workstations). like delicious they provide rss feeds of your bookmarks. however, unlike delicious, anytime you post a bookmark to that crappy service they wrapped it in their own tracking/redirect link. so everytime i accessed a bookmark i went to furl for some big-brotherness, then was redirected to where i really wanted to go.
upon further investigation i found that site is owned by looksmart. one can only imagine what they are doing with that data.
it is not shortsighted to think that investors will force delicious to do similar drastic things in order to make it a commercial success. google can tie that type of data into their search engine rankings, adwords/adsense programs and whatever else they choose.
i hate to say it, but i fear it is only a matter of time before i go delirious.

i was just thinking about the market share they will certainly steal from wintel manufacturers; especially in the education market.
dell won't have an OSX on dell-crap option. seems like a no brainer for new pc buyers.
university computer labs can just use macs and let the students decide what OS they want.
which makes me wonder... can both OSes be remotely administered. wake-on-lan+OS???
