Comment Re:Who thinks this? (Score 1) 789

In fact I think that tablets may lead to more desktop pc's to be sold again. I now work on a laptop that is used mostly as a slow desktop and when traveling as a heavy tablet.

My next setup will be a desktop and a tablet, I have decided. Wonder if I will be alone. Maybe in fact I will just get a desktop and do work at my desk like in the good ol days. Somehow I have gotten tired of being able to work and connect to the net from every corner of the earth and beyond.

Am I alone in this?

Posted from my toilet.

Interesting. Do you like to sleep in at times? Get an iPhone.

Seriously, if you want the best phone you can buy for most circumstances the iPhone is the way to go. Version 5 should have resolved any teething problems and there is a long way to go for Google to reach that point of maturity in its mobile OS.

The Pirate Bay is already blocked by the major providers in Italy, for much the same reasons I suspect: total control over Italian media consumption by BS (Berlusconi Silvio).

I live in Italy, and the lack of unbiased information is incredible - half the population really believe that the press are under communist control and that journalists have an axe to grind with Berlusconi. The other half disagree and the result is a country that is incredibily polarized and divided - over Berlusconi.

The best thing for Italy would be for him to die quickly for as long as he lives he will be able to hide and manipulate information - a perfect modern Machiavelli.

There certainly must be potential, but the end-all device currently is the pc (or mac) for access to web based tv.

We live abroad and use a computer to watch dutch, swedish and Italian TV and a VPN to connect to BBC iPlayer and 4OD. Once you get past the slightly lower quality there is no going back to not-on-demand TV.

If only the new AppleTV would include a browser and Flash / Silverlight... It would be perfect for my purposes.
