Is the Home Desktop Going Away? 102

fishdan asks: "I recently wrote a lengthy reply to Doug Barney who had written an article saying that Apple and Linux were not trying to compete on the desktop. I saved my reply in my journal, if anyone is interested. However, this got me to thinking. Game makers have said that they are going to be developing for consoles like the Xbox or Playstation, first. Rich web applications like Writely are moving much of the standard functionality of the desktop online. Email is moving rapidly to mobile devices. Given your integrated Web/Media Center/TV that runs through your high resolution screen (that everyone will have in 10 years), what is the future of the home desktop?"

Im not a fan of Bush 100%, but I do believe we had a just reason to go over there. If my leader was commiting genocide and I could not get out of under his control, I sure would want somebody to come kick his ass. We dont have to police the world, but make sure everybody atleast has the right to life(or atleast those who want it). Now if somebody would have came out and said this is why we are ousting Saddam, it would have been better than trying to convice people of WMD's...
