Hum.. a post about technology. Very vauge guidance that...
Anyhoo... since it was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show
what about Apple's move to the iphone? and of course, Apple TV...
Here's the pertainent linkage.. although if you google it, you will
get plenty of news articles.

What do you think the effects of this will be? I see they've restricted
it to the Cingular phone service (the iphone that is) and I wonder about that.
some folks don't like Cingular's service. Are they going to lock the phones
down, so that they *only* work on Cingular's service networks??
Personally, not being a digital toy person, I don't see the effects of this
as being drastic, although, if they could get it to really work... well.
Then we'd be wired 24/7.
What's next? Plugging into the brain?
(Actually that probably *is* where we're headed...)

I read an article about smarter web indexing services in grad school, and the author was all gung ho about the idea that when you enter in the words, the engine will automatically "know" what definition of the words you mean and will only give you back relevant results. The author then went on to suggest that HAL (as in HAL 9000) could be right around the corner. I will say here what I said then: While it will be nice eventually to have something like C-3PO or the Computer on the Enterprise, it will be a frightening day indeed when we develop technology akin to HAL, or anything else that is able to read one's mind.
