cell phone running vncviewer (Score 1)

The future home desktop is a cell phone sitting in a docking station running vncviewer (or similar) to a session server available for a monthly fee. The applications are pretty much the same - you just don't have to worry about system configuration, backups, hardware/software upgrades, power outages, computing resource limitations, spyware, or virus protection. Anywhere you go, you'll be able to access this data and your session will never end.
