A cheap set top box

January 4, 2006
Google Cube: Remember Mike Cowpland?

The blogosphere has been abuzz about the idea of a Google PC for the last couple of days. Google has denied the rumor. I’m surprised that it ever had any legs, honestly. It’s a stupid idea. Microsoft has a hammer-lock on the OS market, and virtually all of the applications for PC’s are written to the Microsoft standard. Neither Apple, nor OS/2, nor Linux has been able to break that grip yet. Why should Google be any different?

It is a STUPID IDEA. Because you expect Google doing something the Market is waiting for.
I guess we, Internet users, already have a Hardware and it is getting more and more sophisticated.
It is our computer and we want to do everything with it.
Phoning, watching TV, Movies, listening to music, and MOST of all Surfing.
You do not need a small box, you need an always more and more complicated, more and more efficient tool.
What can a small box do that a PC cannot? Why should I buy a new device, when I already own a better one?

Somebody, some time ago understood that the future was in the Software, and since then, he proved to be DAMNED RIGHT...
