The democrats hate him, the republicans tolerate him, and the American people didn't even elect him. It's good to know the good old boys network can still rig an election. I don't care if I get any hate mail from lovers of Bush. He just scares me, and the environment will be even worse when he leaves office. Time to gas up another Ford Expedition with oil from the pristine lands in Alaska.
Technology looks like it is shifting from PC centric to more specialized devices.
I don't think PC's will disappear for a long time. Their general purpose and usability will keep them kicking for a long time. The hand held market is probably getting ready for fundamental shift. Smaller, but not too small devices will become more common. Web phones are a bust, the screens are too small, and data entry, well, sucks.
