    • Apple, Microsoft Run for the Clouds in the New Client Software War [view article]
      Wow. I so totally disagree with these statements

      "Yep, that's right, the iPhone and the Air are the beginning of the end, just because there's not too much more innovation needed down there in the hardware space. "

      and

      "There's only about two to three more years left in the client hardware innovation business before the end-points go pure commodity, even with Apple's intellectual property. The hardware becomes a basic catcher's mitt for the packets, a single chipset that grabs the several important signals and processes them into a basic Web UI and supports the runtime, virtualized most likely."

      This kind of thinking to me reflects such fundamental ignorance of engineering and perhaps computer technology in general that I didn't bother to read the rest.

      Saying that all worthwhile innovation in hardware is done (so much so in fact that all hardware will be FREE! ha!) is like saying no one will ever need more than 640K of RAM, only less accurate.
