Home PCs and laptops are on "death row" - Brown-Martin // GamesIndustry.biz: "In 2010 the desktop computer will be dead, and laptops will be on death row."
I'm not entirely sure what they are smoking over there in the land of whiskey...Oh yeah...That's probably it then. I thought this was a bit amusing having just come back from AGC and hearing about how great PC gaming is getting and then seeing Sams talk about how Battle.net kills XboxLive. PCs going the way of the Crocodile Hunter you say? Do tell. Perhaps his mobile authority has figured out the bane of mobile entertainment devices? Ya know, like the screen and junk? Vernor Vinge had a lot to say about that and much more and he hadn't' touched a drop of whiskey...That I could tell.
(Disclosure: I just got turned on to 3pointd so I'm not sure I should be linking to it. The concept of using Web2.0 as a design goal for the future of virtual worlds is all sexy and E! but it sounds more like Raph or Second Life territory. Click at your own risk.)

Eh, they've been saying it for some time now. If it's ever replaced by a console, whatever console replaces it will be so close to it that it will be indistinguishable, not just in terms of functionality, but modability and versatility as well - unless the Playstation 3 comes with a keyboard and mouse, I can change the OS and other software, and I can upgrade parts of it later, I'm not spending several hundred dollars to get one in addition to something that can do all those other things I need to do on a PC anyways.
As soon as everyone migrates to online storage, that's when the media companies start charging based on bandwidth.
In that type of world, I don't see the techie using someone else's storage space...I see them buying one of their own servers.
Gophur said a naughty word, starting with "w" and ending with ".0". You owe me a dollar, Goph.
Damn you Bloo!
