Yeah, but when it comes to $250, do they buy another PVR/appliance/whatnot? I think that Google is competing over that money with the manufacturers of 4x4 struts.

They can hope for a niche, appliance machine. Google branded Linux is not a winner. They have a shot at "tivo" space, where the Media PC is overpriced and/or under-functioning.
Enterprise-level directory services, with identity and authorization is where Microsoft have won the corporate computing space over Java's security model, and the various LDAP/Kerberos toolkits in Open Source software. These are toolkits - not solutions.
General -purpose home PCs need to run the software people have. This means the "Blue's Clues" CD-ROM. This has been Microsoft's own internal struggle to overcome in implementing LUA and in advancing our programming model.
The PC has been so successful, that only a complete alternative replaces parts of its functionality. I'm thinking Tivo, iPod, game console and smartphone.
Google has a chance against a sleeping Microsoft. They might have a better chance at a paranoid Microsoft, one that smokes the hype.
This is goofball Googlemania nonsense. There are serious copyright hurdles to this idea - just as legislation in this arena becomes ever more restrictive - to name but the first problem that presents itself on first blush. Also, the second someone buys their $199 Wal*Mart, 'Google PC' and it does not run their 4-year-old daughter's "Blue's Clues" and "Dora" CD-ROMs, it goes back - just like the LinSpire boxes did.
There are more people in MS who are under the spell of Google, than even these 'analysts': Look at Robert Scoble and Dare Obasanjo - tho' the latter seems to actually understand market sense. These ideas float out, with a hope of provoking an MS response that ends up diffusing effort.
Remember, Bear-Stearns and other investment analysts were the most gullible of the participants in dot-com hype. I was a "fly on the wall" in analyst's calls at Bear Stearns, at Reynolds and at Deloitte. They all smoked the same crack that MCI was pushing about 'Net expansion.
At investment and professional services firms, you have a crew of youngsters who cut their professional teeth on the Internet bubble. This is the baseline for their experience. They are now all out to find the next big thing - and they hope it's Google. Like Yahoo in '97, with profitability as the latest 'secret sauce'.
From monitoring this thread, you would think that Google posed as serious a challenge to Microsoft as AMD does to Intel in the microprocessor market.
It's B.S. Google is good at what they do and are looking to create the kind of continuing growth that justifies the absurd valuation the analysts have bestowed upon them. The only real concern for Microsoft is that the natural area for Google's expansion is a segment that we have also identified for growth.
And then, you will be itting, like John Gilmore, on a no-fly list - maintained by secret laws that no American may know about, or make reasonable enquiry.
Only, unlike Gilmore, you are probably not a multi-millionaire...
Of the worst type, from the New York Pravda. I would rip it myself, but spacetimecurves.blogspot.com did a good job, already.
Quantum Fluff and the Rodham-Clintoris Uncertainty Principle
Nowhere is the "he-said-but-she-said" style of journalism more pretentious and annoying than in The New York Pravda.
Example #1: the Science Times' piece on "Quantum Trickery: Testing Einstein's Strangest Theory", where we are told that:
This fall scientists announced that they had put a half dozen beryllium atoms into a "cat state."
No, they were not sprawled along a sunny windowsill. To a physicist, a "cat state" is the condition of being two diametrically opposed conditions at once, like black and white, up and down, or dead and alive.
These atoms were each spinning clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. Moreover, like miniature Rockettes they were all doing whatever it was they were doing together, in perfect synchrony. Should one of them realize, like the cartoon character who runs off a cliff and doesn't fall until he looks down, that it is in a metaphysically untenable situation and decide to spin only one way, the rest would instantly fall in line, whether they were across a test tube or across the galaxy...
Interesting. Now I realize there's a lot of math involved with quantum physics that greater than 99.999% of the Pravda's readers might not understand. But that's a pretty outrageous statement. For one thing, I didn't realize you could measure quantum spin state in a test tube, much less across the galaxy, and I work with test tubes every day.
The author follows this with a lot of name dropping from the Highest and therefore well-funded Coolest Cats in the world of quantum physics.
We are told they disagree about the ramifications of said experiment on things like Locality and the Structure of Reality, but damn me if I can figure from the writing exactly what their positional differences are or why in a general way these individuals think this way. Much less, the details of the experiment that lead the author- or the scientists- to believe an event of quantum teleportation has occurred. Nor is a single citation to the scientific literature given in the text, where we can look at the facts as they were presented, and possibly formulate our own ideas.
Science is presented as beliefs and not a set of rational conclusions.
You may have encountered my thoughts on that before.
Science- and rational humans- believe in nothing. We start with an observation; we formulate an idea to explain it and test it as we can; and we modify our ideas based on the results we obtain. There's no doctrine and no dogma.
There's just reality and a whole world to explore around us.
You can present explanations of it that the general public can understand.
Perhaps this is what they're referring to:

The precision in spectroscopy of any quantum system is fundamentally limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation for energy and time. For N systems, this limit requires that they be in a quantum-mechanically entangled state. We describe a scalable method of spectroscopy that can potentially take full advantage of entanglement to reach the Heisenberg limit and has the practical advantage that the spectroscopic information is transferred to states with optimal prote

I think they sould change the name of the policy to "lesbian kissing".
then, no one will admit that they actually support it - but they'll make sure it doesn't go away anytime soon...
