You're on the right track though - look at Comcast buying NBC and such, ie their own content provider.

The traditional networks and distribution channels are going to change drastically in the next 5 years.

HAHAHA! You would think! My friend was one of those people and has gotten every model since then and harbors no ill will. He also got the PS3 when it cost 600! So what does that tell you? Some people just don't care and want what they want regardless of the price. I paid 200 for mine and I don't know how I lived with a SideKick before it >_<

One thing I'm too futurist for my own good is watching shows on TV. Who the hell wants to watch all those commercials? You can watch anything and everything now online and in HD. My 50" plasma in the living room is my monitor and then I just have a wireless keyboard and mouse as my remotes. It's like having every channel in the world in HD at any time you feel like watching it for the price of a high speed connection. I just don't see the point to cable or satellite anymore other than sports packages.

To watch football on the weekend I got a $60 power HD antennae and I couldn't be happier :D Plus with ESPN 360 I get a ton of sports online... anyway. Thats what I'm too futurist for... Sorry for the rant.

I had no idea you were an Italian artist/writer of manifestos. I admire you just a bit more now.

i agree on the Kindle. it reminds me of a PDA. i had a Palm. two, actually. and both times i bought them, i realized how useless they were after a couple months. i even had books to read on them. but i like real books made of paper.

i think i also feel this way about FriendFeed. i don't like it for some reason. maybe because it's not the future yet.

i also think cats are soooo 15 minutes ago.
