tyrion responded to the thread Are you going to switch to Vista?

"There isn't an very much in Vista which compels me to go out and buy it. ReadyBoost looks very cool but they dropped two of the the features I was closely watching, WinFS and the new shell (MSH or Monad).Most of what was upgraded in Vista is shiny stuff I'll turn off by default. I'm using more

"If you look at what the Freifunk guys are doing in German, and the way distributed networking is taking off (BitTorrent, Joost, &c.), I wouldn't be surprised if within a few years web browsing was much different. To give a rough outline, imagine if all web content was not only distributed but aware of its location. If I wanted to grab a copy of the NYtimes website I would grab it from the nearest source. Everything you download would be come a cache for everyone else. Instead of taking 15 hops around the globe to get a PDF I might be able to take two hops and get it from a PC/mobile/laptop in my town. This would certainly speed up content delivery for popular websites and would almost certainly render the Digg/Slashdot effect meaningless (as, like with BitTorrent, the more popular a file is, the easier it is to find).Another advantage of this system is that once the demand for fresh content declined all requests would route back to the server that originally hosted the content, so there would always be copy available and there would be very fast access when it was popular.There would of course need to be protection built into the system to prevent against man-in-the middle attacks and faked content. But if the P2P networks can solve this problem, I think it can be applied on a wider scale to web-browsing.One problem which I'm not sure how to solve is the issue of age. I remember hearing that the Wikipedia guys had a problem because their webservers were located in the US and their cache servers were in Europe (maybe it was the other way around). The reason they did this was to cut out the latency which appears when you send packets across the Atlantic. But having two copies of the same data meant it could become out of date. I can't remember how the issue was solved...If I (A) post this message now, someone (B, who is in, say Australia) logging into this server will see it. Now say you (C) update this page with your content after B has downloaded the page with my post. A little while later D (who is in B's town) wants to grab this page. He sees that it's going to take 5 seconds to grab the page from the original server, but there is a "fresh" copy only 0.01 seconds away (in B's cache). Now, does he make the decision to grab an "old" (say 30 seconds) copy or the fresh copy. If the fresh copy is grabbed, well, that's no different from now. If the old copy is grabbed, then D has missed out on the post you (C) made.I'm not sure how this can be solved, either we have stale content or dead webservers, neither is a good option. " more

"Not a problem, I played with one at FrOSCon this year, a company called Tarent brought along some Nokia 770's, some N800's, a couple of FIC Neo1973's (OpenMoko phones) and an iLiad. I played with all of them for hours and really liked them. The New1973 is still a bit rough around the edges (I crashed more

"I don't think this needs GSM capabilities, like the HTC Advantage, I feel it is far too big to replace a typical mobile phone. And, if you're carrying a mobile phone with you anyway then why not tether the 3G capabilities to this device via Bluetooth and you have a 3G connection for the device (how more
