Demographicly, he might not notice the slow down.
His children might, but again not likely: if they game and stream media, cloudflare wonâ(TM)t slow down that traffic. If they use social media, probably on mobile.
Truth is home internet is increasingly uninteresting.
AirPlay is a streaming protocol that buffers video before playback.
Delay is unnoticeable when your sharing media, but would be unacceptable for gaming.
However look at the (fantastic!) iOS game The Incident: when playing on iPad with iPad sending output to TV, you can use your iPhone/iPod Touch as a controller. Swap iPad for Apple TV and you get this rumor.
Many other examples that use ios devices as controllers in intresting ways, for example Chopper 2 and Scrabble.
As for "walled garden", isn't every existing game platform tightly managed? (ps3, xbox, wii)
"...public corporate taxes (though not much, usually...")
I believe one of Apple's current advantages is that its doing a good job of managing taxes globally.
Good job meaning: 25% of earnings (not including payroll taxes). 30% would be more typical.
Marginal US tax rates for families earning under $200K is currently around 28%.
Additionally, corporate earnings (either distributed as dividends or recognized at the sale of shares) are subject to additional taxes (dividend and capital gains rates).
Summary: ethical US corporations pay comparable taxes to typical earners.
working on all flavors of Linux, Windows, OSX, iOS, Android, etc.
And of course it will not be a vector for malware.
And of course it will not interfere with any operations except illicit ones, nor impact performance.
Didn't China try this??
prior art or not, Figure 6A is interesting: shows the user dialing a rheostate or safe dial like device, presumably a visual control on the display.
If it's really multi-point, wouldn't this make an interesting biometric authorization system? Something you have: 1) finger pattern and spacing of user as they "hold" dial 2) speed and pause of the motion of spinning the dial Something you know: 3) the safe combination

Anyone note how similar this system is to the solar system in Firefly?

If you're headed to Shanghai *don't* take the maglev.
The Shanghai system doesn't actually go anywhere... it gets about halfway (30KM?) from downtown before it just stops.
Interesting in a "we're hip, we've got a maglev" way, but sure would be more useful if you could take it to and from the airport.
