"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... ?
- skylendar
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 Mathias Christe
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 Gray
Much agreed on the OS agnosticism here (esp with a locked-down work laptop). Is FreeSMUG (http://www.freesmug.org/portabl...) pretty much the best analog to PortableApps?
- Sam Harrelson
I'm good as long as there's a remote desktop app. I could work on an OLPC
- Rodfather
I can't get away from the graphics/video/design production apps. Still need a PC to run most of those. Cloud is out a bit further for workflows involving these.
- SolidSmack
Steve, I don't buy into this whole "cloud exclusively" thing, yet. And that is an important yet, here's why. The underlying browser, as well as the underlying OS, makes the promise of cloud computing, well, cloudy. If you have ever tried browsing to a flash-enabled site with Linux Firefox and Ubuntu, you know what I am talking about. Invariably, the content cannot be displayed on such and such a browser or with MacOS or Unix or some troubling combination.
- Chris Sparno
Then there are the sites that still require IE and ActiveX, locking Mac users out completely. For the promise of Cloud Computing to be more than a promise, the browser and underlying OS needs to be 100% abstracted from the user experience. And as long as a few players maintain dominance in that area, good luck.
- Chris Sparno
Holden, that is true, as long as MS, Apple, Google and Mozilla all agree to really abide by the standards for once. MS is the most troubling, as their idea of innovation is taking a standard and mucking with it just enough to lock out the competition.
- Chris Sparno
There needs to be a standard browser architecture that runs the standards. Then cloud computing will meet its promise
- Chris Sparno
@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.
- Steve Rubel
from email
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.
- Jim Tierney
Jim, by locking out Mac users, I meant those running MacOS X and Safari. Today, the argument a Mac runs less software is truly bogus since it can run any OS including Windows. But take for example the fact that today, when on a Windows platform box, I need to have three browsers installed to make sure I have one that will run the assorted sites I go to. Why can't I have one browser (Chrome perhaps?) that works everything with every media type on a website.
- Chris Sparno
Jim, true on the ActiveX point, but a lot of times, users don't have a choice. Granted, its getting better, but look at the state of affairs for Realtors who need to access MLS systems - pretty much all of them lock out the Mac due to IE and ActiveX requirements. Some SAAS systems are the same way. Thankfully, most of the young companies doing the cool stuff today know better and are more platform agnostic. Its about content and a lot of the sites that are set in their ways can't get out of their way.
- Chris Sparno
Holden, this is so true. Makes you wonder why there is ANY resistance to adhering to the standards. Shouldn't that be the course of least resistance?
- Chris Sparno
Holden, definitely. Run Chrome on a stick and Evernote.
- Steve Rubel
from email
omg rubel you = straight P-I-M-P
- sean percival
Steve, what do you do when you come across a non-PC and need to plug that thumb drive in? In that case, the underlying OS is still a hindrance to cloud computing, no? For example, you say you have Chrome (which I publicly love), and Evernote (which I now starting using because of you). But Chrome (not the Mac beta) is for all intents and purposes Windows only. Then what?
- Chris Sparno

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? :-)

It's still troubling they would remove content from your device. Think what would happen if Apple remotely removed Apps from your iPhone.
- Rodfather
Apple has stated that there's a "kill switch" for apps that permits remote deletion. Imagine what would happen if an App contained a trojan that would wake up in 90 days and send all your contacts to a spammer? Apple would be killed if they DIDN'T take some action to stop it and they could.
- Glen Mistletoe
Apple might have backed themselves into a corner with their supposedly rigorous review process for apps. Would you expect Microsoft (or Apple, for that matter, or the vendor of your favorite Linux distribution) to remotely disable malicious applications on your desktop or laptop? Why should an iPhone / iPod Touch be any different?
- Tudor Bosman
(What I meant: Apple established this trust model. "You download the apps from us, and we tell you they're safe, we're somewhat morally responsible if they turn out not to be." For desktops and laptops, it's generally understood that you're on your own, and the OS vendors try their best to prevent malicious apps from taking control, but no guarantees are implied.)
- Tudor Bosman
Shame on Amazon for caving and also for doing the removal like a theif in the night, instead of up front and informing the consumer. If they thought that noone would notice then they are not very bright.

I wonder how many people will just spraypaint theirs?
- alphaxion
lol! I don't think I wanna spray-paint mine. It's just not the same thing.
- vijay
If you disassembled it carefully, sanded the case for a rough surface, painted it, then covered it with a matte finish, I wonder how close you could get.
- Andrew C
that sounds like a plan Andrew but the big question is will there be any takers? : )
- vijay
HA HA HA HA HA! A $6000 macbook pro? no thanks.

I would be shocked if Colorware doesn't roll out a general matte black option soon.

The judge said the punk 'got what he deserved'. GOD BLESS THE UK. Also the punk said he 'didn't remember what happened'. Of course he didn't, he got KNOCKED THE F*CK OUT.
- Will Higgins™
I imagine him standing over a bruised and bloody burglar saying "get off my lawn." The picture in my head is pretty epic.

Haven't read the whole thread. In case it hasn't been stated more clearly: "Don't get into fist fights with boxers." If they are old boxers, and you have no skills, they will still kick your ass. Better bring a gun if you're a pussy.

This made me smile, how awesome this little fart got what he was due. How dare he pick on the elderly and how wonderful the elderly did rearranging some youthful behavior.

"McCalium had denied the charge and claimed he could not remember what happened." After the knocks to the head he got I believe it. Good for you, old timer. Glad the UK has better laws than the US. If it were the US, the burglar might have sued and won.
- Bradley Farless
That is why you finish the job here in the US and then place a pointy object in the assailants hand. More mess but less litigation. Odd how blind lady justice can be.

Do you really think so? The so called "Themes" are just changes of color and background. Nothing awesome about this! There is much more they could do to match with "State of the Art" Designs.
