491432 2006-10-14 23:13:00 "The next wave of innovation will compress today's parallel solutions in an evolutionary convergence of electronics and optics"

Ah yes, mmmhmmm, yes, I definitely agree.......... :illogical

"Mouthing the prefix peta (signifying numbers of the magnitude 10 to the 15th power, a million billion) and the Latin verb petere (to search), we are doubly petacentric in our peregrinations through the hypertrophic network cloud."

"The desktop is dead. Welcome to the Internet cloud, where massive facilities across the globe will store all the data you'll ever use. "

Like hell. I'd never want my data stored anywhere except MY machine.
And what about all of us in NZ with lame interent connections.

Hang on half an hour or so, I want to view my Word documents.....

Sooner or later someone is going to do an AOL and disgorge all sorts of fun stuff out into the big wide world.

Hmmm... surely there's an on-line accounting program that I can use to deal with my Lotto winnings :cool:

491438 2006-10-16 05:40:00 Treat any article from Wired magazine with a measure of salt. Like a ton of salt, rather than a pinch.

It's the technology ******'s magazine, and treats vague possiblilities as if they are universal facts.
