 | The PC and TV were brought together years ago by TiVo. Surely true that Apple and Google want in on the game, but they are certainly not blazing any new trails.  |

| | I disagree. It definitely *is* an eBook reader, and from the initial info a far better one than Kindle. It is not *only* an eBook reader, but that is a good thing, not a bad one. I also disagree that iPhone is an adequate platform for reading books, watching movies, … |
| | I think you're being way too literal here, Ron. Obama is commenting that people are increasingly confusing the act of being entertained with the act being informed. Surely he is right about that. "iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations." like every other internet-attached device, play a part in this. … |
| | If the post office made public a list of our frequent correspondents or if a phone company made public a list of people we call frequently, there would be loud, widespread, and totally justified outrage. The Capitol switchboard would be overflowing with outraged calls. No one would write, "If you … |
| | Ron, I've known you for something like a decade. You are in my contact list. You've been a technology blogger - and had an established Internet presence - for years. Google is the undisputed leader in search. Yet I cannot find you anywhere on Buzz. If you are there, you … |

| | Hmmm. Well, you'll know Apple has reached market saturation when you hear that Microsoft is exiting the operating system business. :) |
| | What's interesting to me is that, looking at the Dashboard, Google seems to 'know' much less about me than I'd have thought -- not very much at all, really. I agree with Schmidt that "evil" behavior would be very bad for Google as a company, but I agree with you, … |
| | Oh. Another version of Windows. Yawn.  |
| | I'm a bit of a privacy nut, but I'm having trouble figuring out why it should bother me to let Apple know what kind of music I like. I tell Netflix and TiVo what kind of movies and shows I like, and I the other web-based music services I use … |
| | I agree with the content, and I *love* the headline! Jerry Seinfeld is not going to convince me to go back to Windows, that's for sure.  |
The End.
