The Future

It’s coming. Well, it’s kinda already here. There may not be a “send to screen in living room” option, yet, but with the proper software, it wouldn’t be that difficult. Other requirements would be high-speed internet to quickly buffer to continue “seamlessly” whatever you were transmitting, etc.

Perhaps they’ll use a thin client instead. Hell, if someone were to develop on that technology in 2009, I could easily see a centralized computer for home entertainment in the entire house a pretty viable option. Use the bluetooth (2nd link) option for phones and well, you’re doing pretty well to being on par with the first link. Spiffy.

Slightly more thought… all one really needs is the right server hub and client software to send things to and from each other… which we pretty much already have. Sometimes I wonder why we don’t do it. Why don’t I start something?

So I have favicons disabled on my browser (I can’t stand the disunity of some sites not having icons and some icons being really horrible. (Mostly the former)) and only recently discovered that tumblr used your avatary thing as a favicon. Neat.

I gave it some thought (very little) and decided that it was summed up how I felt about the situation pretty well. It was also a sad-funny article, too.


Feel better (not about the situation, but your illness).

THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.
