ashw_justin Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 One of the biggest chipmakers to sell pocket supercomputers designed expressly around the idea of powering personally invasive and context-dependent internet advertising... yay. Big Computerstuffs says: "Instead of going to the internet, the internet comes to us."Just like TV? Quote

counterfeitfake Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Just like TV? yes- you don't have to own a tv either. Quote
ashw_justin Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 I think the more appropriate analogy is that we "don't have to own" the television or radio channels--even though they were supposed to be public domain before they were stolen by large private interests for profitmaking. Now look at how unbearable and devoid of information broadcast TV and radio have become. The internet, another free (in multiple senses) and publicly-developed infrastructure, is facing similar plunder, and this is how it 'begins.' Quote
