Today “is going to be a very disruptive day in the history of personal computing devices”
What do you do when senior tech writers at ZDNet throw down language like this (which was late last night):
It’s gonna hit the world like a baseball bat in the face.
Tomorrow will be a huge day, with something totally unexpected. Watch my space. Good night.
Those are all from last night. The only clue given is a link to this article and we’re told to read between the lines. It’s an article about how the new computer is a screen. Effectively how the cloud and virtualization lead to a huge change so whether you are on a TV or a desktop or a mobile or whatever slate you’re holding it’s just a screen for something that’s centrally located. It doesn’t seem like an Apple thing (no announced press event). Microsoft has had a lot of releases and quite frankly they may be out of them for now. I’d have to guess Google. but of course, this could be a Cisco or VMware thing. For now, my bet is on the octopus that is Google – they have a hand in everything. And for what it’s worth I think the ZDNet guys are talking with knowledge of something (like they have an NDA) and not conjecture.
Any guesses?

Don’t beat me up for this but it sounds like remote desktop on steroids. Or pretty much LogMeIn on (insert device). This stuff is already around; I say meh. But that’s a geeks opinion that has been using remoting tools for a while now.
Yeah I don’t like the whole cloud stuff.. I like my stuff here on my computer or phone or whatever. That way I’m not dependent on anything but myself and my own equipment, too many things can go wrong with other peoples stuff.
Ok, so what was the big reveal?
$250 chromebook…so much meh
Just the kind of device I could use down in Florida when the power goes out. Let’s see, I could…………use it as a nightlight.
