bland, over rated, lack of warmth, very plastic.

I've flown it in person - way too ordinary.

1.0, 2.0. Next version will be named 'Big Brother'

Imagine this: the idea of the government implanting a chip in everyone so they can know our thoughts, location, what we are doing etc etc - well this chip already exists, except it is not an implant. It is everywhere. The net result is that things of movies, like the recent 'Eagle Eye' that has this supercomputer called Ariia that knows everything about everyone... it is already here. And we are happily voluntarily letting it happen.

Beyond Web 2.0 will be a super monster mash up - get this:

Social Networking / Web 2.0

That is just great. Not only do I have to deal with compatibility issues with FireFox, IE6 and IE7, now I have to worry about IE8. The world does not move that quickly, MicroSoft - about 50% MS people are still using IE6.

The guy seems hackneyed from the start. Bow-tied architect?
Charging fees for so-called IP that he stole from elsewhere? Registering 'cradle-to-grave' is as ludicrous as registering 'end-to-end'...
The guy is delusional, conceited and into self-promotion and self-profiteering, a total antithesis to sustainability.
Having said that, he is not unique in being a 'celebrity guru'...

ho ho ho, PSP and DS are hand-held gaming consoles, the iPhone is a fashion accessory. They are not even in the same market.

er what is the fun in not traveling for business?

telecommuting etc has been touted for 10 or 20 years now. It is not going to happen. Webex...? Just wishful thinking. Let's face it, during web or teleconferences, chances are some of the people are doing emails or making jokes about the meeting via IM...

sheesh it would be better if a product was named after a person... Dyson, Ford etc. In fact, Goodyear was a person - now that's a twist to your list...

Not really - from a purely pricing perspective, it is the internet price of item + sales tax (if any) + shipping (if any), versus in-store price. Other factors are convenience, overall shopping experience etc
