I do think that web access devices of all shapes and colors will be ubiquitous in a few years. The precise platform that they expose is still very much up in the air. If Google can create a layer that encompasses html5, gears,flash/silverlight and some sort of *gasp* drm AND that layer can run on Chrome OS, Windows, Mac and Linux they will succeed
What web platform? We just hired a guy whose main responsibility is for "cross platform browser compatibility". It seems like web 'standards' are diverging, not coming together.
The web platform isn't like the old days, where platform meant something as api and behavior-stable as Windows.
- Scott Ludwig
and that's why the heavy lifting is done in Flash (and their ilk) and on the server. When will a true RIA like Picnik be written in an "open web standard"?

Web browser on commodity hardware. Innovation?
Yes, I think it is.

the world has obviously signified their acceptance of netbooks. naturally someone is going to design an os around that platform. no surprise that google is making this move.
- James Prudente
Alright I was a little cranky. Lots of speculation considering the infinitesimal amount of solid info. I will say this: I use chrome everyday and considering the number of times I have to hit F5 to make a page work or restart the browser since flash crashed it seems that the "web platform" has a long ways to go.

There's a history of seemingly inferior products taking the market from established products. See http://amzn.com/0060521996 for a discussion on this.

I've heard of that book and generally agree with its premise. People seem to think there is a "winner takes all" result coming. Considering how many well-placed players there are going into this paradigm shift I think that is unlikely.
- Hayes Haugen
That book is well worth reading. As the newcomers become 'good enough', the incumbents start to experience market share erosion. Also, it is easier (less work) for the newcomers to become good enough, than it is for the incumbents to change or enhance their product in a way that matters and thwarts the newcomers.
- Scott Ludwig
Well it's not a new concept that the scrappy newcomer can do things that the entrenched entity is incapable of doing. In tech even more so. See The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Kuhn.

How long before Microsoft releases Silverlight in some sort of open source form?

Got new Acer 11.6 netbook. Kinda like the original aspire one... but: big hires screen, full size keyboard, no fan. cpu not snappy but doubt android on arm in this form factor would do as well. xp runs great and feels almost lean - until the bloatware kicks in. cliche but so true. - http://us.acer.com/acer-v2...
This is costco version replacing 8.9 aspire one that is in for warranty repair (it just plain died) and will be promptly retasked or sold. costco at least bumps warranty to 2 years.

A revision date of 2004 in your codebase is either a very good thing or a very very bad thing.

Just got squeezed by a gmail, sync and exchange trifecta and no longer have any contacts in gmail or my phones. It's nice that Dashwire is going to fix this mess and was not the cause.
James Prudente liked this
well, not really like, but....
- James Prudente
Nice, gmail worked just long enough to delete all your contacts, then went back on the fritz :\
- James Prudente
gmail and exchange took about 90 minutes and were able to sync up 200 of the 224 contacts I restored.
- Hayes Haugen
Contacts are completely trashed. Tons of fields missing. I wasn't so sure when Brandon blamed google mobile sync for messing up his contacts but by process of elimination they are the culprit. Now I have to manually merge my 4 to 8 times duplicated contacts get them synced up across the board and then somehow merge those with my old Dashwire production account.
- Hayes Haugen
In a sync architecture it technically makes sense that if one of the synced clients deletes all their entries you want to propagate that to the other clients. But from a UX perspective if you see 0 entries you should maybe ask the user if they want you to delete their data *everywhere*.

Got one of these when I was about 13. Built it out enough to power it and get rc gear going. Main turrets turned and shot water. Really moved pretty quick. Still have it but rc gear is toast and have lost many parts over the years. A new kit is $500 so don't think I'll be getting a "spare". Still it would be fun to take a crack at getting it going again.
