Same here, after speaking with them, I realize the founders really are committed to making this work. They have some establish visions beyond simply just a badge. Its pretty impressive.

Its hard to know when to drink the Koolaid and when not to... that being said, when Jobs first presented the iPhone, even a hardened skeptic like myself thought it would gain a strong following.

how will users with North American keyboards access websites with characters not on their keyboards?

I remember signing up for this as a kid, thinking I was going to make a few extra bucks each month. Little did I know that the pay didn't even cover the phone bills I racked up using dialup.

These arbitrary limits frustrate me and show how big telco networks hinder growth and innovation in favor of propping up their outdated technologies.

I think he makes a pretty astute observation that relying on technology to solve command problems actually exacerbates the problem.

Right thats the point to some degree. The technology won't be mind reading perfection, some effort on the part of the user will still be required. Without an affirmative user interaction, devices won't do anything be a ridiculous amount of pre-configured scripts which will become more cumbersome to manage than helpful.

The article could have been about how in the future everyone will live in floating bubbles which will wireless control everything in the world, but that is simply extrapolating on the on a trend that humans will physically interact less. This analysis takes into account what might actually happen on the horizon and what technologies are likely to make that happen.

It would be nice if the fridge had told the guy before he got home though.

I'm keen on physical media failing, personally I thought bluray/HDDVD was a step in the wrong direction. Stream good 720p content with digital audio and I'll be happy.

It is about time, I felt a massive sense of justice when I heard this happen. They sent so many fake bills to me, forcing me too figure out what bills are real and which are fraudulent.

I like that

It does very much so in the sense that users are not viewing it as an upgrade worth using. Sure Microsoft is wining on the front where it is preinstalled on all new systems, but they haven't given anyone a compelling reason to get Vista, or 7 for that matter.

I have to agree, while some of it is interesting, much of it has fortune-cookie like application.
