"3D printing has the potential to be pretty revolutionary. What’s your vision for the future? Right now we have a way of distributing and manufacturing products that is completely alien, compared to what people were doing 100 years back. We shop for things, often online, and we find the thing that most suits us. We order it. It was probably built very far away, and it ends up getting shipped to some other place and some other place and some other place before it comes to you. Well, it doesn’t have to be like that. You could just shop for something online, download a file, and print it out at home on your 3D printer."

Ok for small gadgets, but for a real thing, i.e. a tool, a piece of furniture, a spare part for a car etc... ?

Cool. With a little bit of work, I could create my own action figures. I could see a larger version being used to make patio furniture and certain car parts, such as the big plastic thing that houses the headlight unit on my car.
- Nathanael M. Christen
For real spare parts, you need steel, not plastic.
- skylendar
3d printing is available for steel/metal as a sintered metal using lasers to melt it into place on top of a piston which drops before the next layer is blown into the chamber. 3D printing is more real than nanotech. It is disruptive tech. You can print in thermoplastics and sculptural wax, (you can 3D scan with Open source software), you can email CAD file to 3Dprinteries who'll send it...

@Louis I am on a PC at work for the first time in five years - and a desktop too. I requested one. That's a first time for me ever (I have been on notebooks since 1995). At home I use a Mac and on the road I do too. In between I use my iPhone. It's liberating not having to carry a notebook, even one that's just 3lbs.

Chris - re: your comment on MS/standard/ActiveX, I think it's the other way around. For general consumers, they are more likely to avoid sites that display content in ways they can't access it - as opposed to changing their browser to meet the demands of those sites. Granted that won't be the case for business users, but I think that sites that attempt to force users into adopting a specific browser will just be further marginalized.

@Robert It's very hard for me to be without web access (and access to the apps and data I need/use) with an iPhone.
- Sam Harrelson
Nope, no tethering. I'm even leaving my laptop behind when I travel for conferences (which is amazing). Basically, the iPhone has become my primary computing device and my various laptops are entry points (I'm a Middle School teacher, so on-the-go mobile is incredibly impt for me).

@Sam, my iPhone is slowly becoming my primary computer. If it starts connecting to full size monitors and keyboards, lookout.

I still can't find a descent inventory app for my iPhone. The wine cellar at work is wireless opaque, so I can't update numbers to a web app. The ones that call themselves inventory apps are just 'list of stuff I own apps'.

I don't understand how people get Much done without fundamental UI tools like drag and drop, and newer innovations like Quicksilver/LaunchBar, etc. Web apps are great for some specific tasks, but after that a powerful OS with software that can dig in deep to shared resources is killer.

Music wise, I keep a few of my "desert island" albums on Dropbox and the iPhone. All of my other music consumption is via Pandora, Last.FM, AOL Radio and numerous podcasts that I download via the iPhone. I do have one laptop that I use as a syncing station for my iPhone but it's become just a place to grab backups which I then upload immediately to Dropbox.

I wonder if you use photoshop or do some programming. Probably the all cloud solution is not indicated yet for these tasks.
- funkyboy
@funkyboy : why not? intellectual property or industrail property matters could, will rise. So what? Clouds will just get mature enough to help businesses. For now, I'd say that The Clouds are still in their early years. If somehow, part of the CPU implied in the many daily compilations of larges set of code, or implementation of any sort if real continuous integration process, if somehow some part of that CPU could be saved from server machines dedicated to that, that would be those costs saved.To start.

Sounds like a business opportunity to me, Steve. In all seriousness, I think if it required fewer steps (backup, different web apps, numerous logins, memory stick, etc.), it could be a very viable option for many people. There needs to be an uber web service that does all of that for you with a few clicks. A personal Network Admin. Oh wait...Google...could that be you I hear at my door? :-)

I'd tolerate them if, and only if they weren't plastering every single page of the said eBook, and they were inconspicuously placed (e.g. on a page towards the back/appendix, or just after an index page). Otherwise, I agree with James and Rui.

Matte Black MacBook Pro Looks Like a Deadly Stealth Ship - the damper? it's 6000$. - http://gizmodo.com/5305501...
Brian, Justin, dkb and 15 other people liked this
"This $6000 Colorware MacBook Pro isn't just impressive because of its price, it's impressive because it looks like what a real matte black MacBook Pro from Apple would look like. There are only ten available, and with each one costing $6000, you're probably not going to be one of the ten. So soak up the images and pretend that you can reasonably justify paying more than twice as much for a laptop just for it not to be so shiny and grey."
