From the article: "When quizzed on Microsoft's plans, Mr. Ballmer replied, "Our view is that virtualization is something that should be built into the operating system.""
Virtualization belongs below the operating system, let's say in the BIOS.
Kant proved that spatial and temporal conception is a prerequisite of consciousness.
Kant, who was influenced by Euler, indeed said this. He also claimed to have proved this and that this "prerequisite of consciousness" is even "Euclidean space": "The possibility of apodeictic principles concerning the relations of time, or of axioms of time in general, is also grounded upon this a priori necessity [of time as part of the framework of sensory experience]. [Examples of such apodeictic principles are:] Time has only one dimension; different times are not simultaneous but successive..." Kant's proof consists of the impossibility to map a right hand on a left hand (Kant had not yet an idea about the possibility of a rotation in four dimensions). This "proof" is not generally accepted.
Kant's point of view has, with the dawn of relativity theories, been dismissed by Herman von Helmholtz (1821-1894) and Hermann Weyl: "Kant finds the clue to the riddle of left and right in transcendental idealism. The mathematician sees behind it the combinatorial fact of the distinction of even and odd permutations. The clash between the philosophers and the mathematicians quest for the roots of the phenomena which the world presents to us can hardly be illustrated more strikingly." (Hermann Weyl in "Philosophy of mathematics and natural science").
I have read the first foundation book twice. In one version, the main character owned a rule calculator (the mechanical thing) which was so advanced it could do differential equations. In the second version, it was replaced by something which resembles the present day PDA.

Have a look at Fon, which is a wifi sharing scheme (backed by Google/Skype/Ebay).
I'd like an MP3-player which lets me listen to text documents.
"Moore's law" is not a law of nature, it is a marketing strategy of Intel.
My first computer was the Sharp MZ-80K, which was the first machine in the MZ-series. It was a great machine at the time (1979).

Take a MOS 6510 core on 65nm process and pump up the Mhz. Add some 32bit instructions...
Sounds pretty much like what Acorn has done in the 80s when then designed the ARM processor.
