Serendipitous Juxtaposition Yields Insights Into the Future
Clicking around my Bloglines feeds today and the following set of articles from Slashdot were displayed…
The first is about streaming content from a home-grown media center running Linux to your cell phone. In other words, the cell phone as a delivery platform for all sorts of media.
The second is about Google releasing an Ajax framework for building net-centric applications – PC is needed, but not necessarily vital since these would all run in anything that can run a browser.
The third is about IBM supporting Open Document Format which wrenches customer lock-in of Microsoft Office users.
The juxtaposition is with the last entry with Bill Gates saying that PCs are dead yet.
Draw your own conclusions.
