Triumph of the Nerds [three of three] 6/6

Larry is a lazy fucker if he can't be bothered to install an operating system.

The information appliance? Wii Internet Channel!
Although you do have to have a car, drive down to wal-mart, get a wii, download the Channel, and get it configured right, but it's a start.

I would banga topanga

PS - A BRILLIANT documentary. This series was as amazing and SPOT ON back then, as it is today. So much of what was speculated on in this series is real today.

Ellison was/is ahead of his time. But not by far. I think his vision WILL happen. Maybe not the death of the PC, but the focus on the internet, with MANY hardward devices that connect to it. It's happening already and will only increase over time. Soon, the PC will be just one of many information appliances we own. And maybe not even the most used. So Ellison was correct in his vision of the internet, but maybe not with respect to the death of the PC.

The software and information transference already is made all by the inet...
Try to have a computer without inet today, it is the same as a car without gas.
But still, I will never trust my files, OS, processing power to a third part...
You can use the inet to distribute the information, but still the processing of that information is better done at local...

Thinks like google docs will never catch... As it is unstable, limitated and unsafe...

But things like office live will...

Oracle was wrong... And no one knows them nowaday.

except for database managers =p

they weren't wrong but simply missed their chance...

i don't use their database for my web-apps but using the web as the os (only the basics on your pc) will become future even more than today!

I do, but only because they are firing my step-dad, who is an employee of Sun Microsystems, who Oracle bought. Fuck Larry, that ass.
