Simple is Beautiful

Apple is pulling aces from its, obviously ultra deep, hat, one after the other. Their iTV is ultimately going to change the way we entertain ourselves ( through audiovisual means ) and raise the expectations that will affect our buying decisions as consumers ( what? I can't stream this to my TV? that's so 90s .. kind of thing ). In addition to that, it is going to force other companies to rethink their strategies and finally see the big picture ( pun intended ). Everything is going to flow via the Net sooner or later. Everything is going to available to us on multiple platforms and devices. The big3 ( Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo ) are already riding the wave out of necessity ( make their devices more useful and cooler ) and because they (will) make a gatrillion dollars in the process. Once iTV hits the market, Microsoft, Dell, Gateway etc are going to come up with their own streaming device. Competition drives evolution. Yay for Apple for kick-starting, or at least giving it such a great push, the stream-to-my-tv revolution.

Dell XPS M2010 21" laptop : Sometimes we have to draw a line. 20.1" screen? 8.5g? This is more like an 'easy to relocate' desktop. My first 17" laptop ( an Acer Aspire ) weighted over 7kg and I thought it was super heavy for a laptop (that's because it was). I don't see Dell selling lots of those 'laptops' in the foreseeable future.
