    I still think that touch-based electronics need to be engineered to resist sweat. Ask any iPod owner.


    On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage ...

    Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC's will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.

    Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.

    Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:

    http://www.BackupReview.info

    This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.

    There is no thought in this article about autonomy and self reliance. People keep their files at home or in other private safe places for privacy and autonomy. I, for one, will never choose to do simple tasks using complex networks unless there is no other choice. Third party data warehouses are open to snooping and subpoenas.

    Regardless of streaming technologies, I will always want a backup at home so I can download, then watch at my convenience. I can also edit out commercials and other irritations first.

    I will never consider integrating my life into a cell phone - certainly not access controls to my house. A standalone - highly encrypted electronic key may be acceptable, as long as it is not linked to any server.


    This guy is a complete moron. For starters, WiMax is already available in one city and is quickly expanding. Technologies like home integration over the web have been around for years (and some are even out now), but none have been able to stay in business for long enough. This article sounds like it way slapped together with some statistics and some smart ass writer. The section on video games was extremely vague, and did not say a single thing about how motion sensing is definitely a trend to pay attention to.
