Apple and Microsoft are going to go obsolete in the near future if they don't switch gears.
Cloud computing is the future. Google knows this, and are slowing making cloud computing a reality. Suddenly OS doesn't matter if all the content is processed at another location and simply "streamed" to your terminal. |
It's true, and a possibility. One company is trying to do that completely with 'console gaming'. And if this is successful with console gaming, expect it to carry over.
The popularization of a personal PC really started with Atari in many ways. So it would not surprise me if Onlive started a similar revolution.

wow, i have lot's of typos. i type in between classes most of the time...  |
I wasn't getting on your typing mate...just your referencing Apple as being a hardware manufacturer. AFAIK, they make nothing, save the box the hardware resides in. I may well be wrong on this though; I would hardly call myself 'caring' regarding Apple products.
Anyhow...what ever floats your integers, be it Apple or MS. |
