I found the vegetable analogy interesting. I get my vegetable's in a weekly vitamin dose called The Economist. I get local info from my mom. She tells me when there's an oil spill in the bay and what the weather will be. Oh, by the way, she lives 2,500 miles away in Georgia

Economist and BBC. Why is it that if we want to have decent news about the US we have to get it from Brits?

Industries (and people) coping with change reminded me of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart". Not in the sense of culture destruction (that's bad, you know), but that things WILL change with or without you. Better to be part of the "with" and guide the change in a beneficial direction.

Can't get the hang of capital letters, butt man the prediction is so much better than most keyboard programs. Its like playing a trombone: maybe my hand will eventually know thread right stops, but right now I have to part more attention than normal.

This back and forth cycle of how apps are developed will play out a few more times, I'm sure. One of the keys to ensuring open web apps prevail is creating an easy monetization model for developers that is dead easy AND accepted by consumers. That's where a certain app store really paved the way in this instance. $0.99.

What I want: File management in email. I want an intelligent list of attachments since I often use my email as the go-to place for a doc.
Automatic Gmail -> Google Docs attachment snarfing would be fantastic.

Some successful tests with the Eye-Fi card automatically uploading to Picasa. Can't wait for wireless cloud upload to be built into the camera.
I'd like more control over wireless networks and managing services on screen. Oh, and take my home computer out of the mix. Maybe 3G connectivity in the camera. Hmm, this sounds like a device I already have but with a crappy camera component...

Playing with my new Eye-FI card, but usb is looking simpler. Buggy and lots of config versus just plugging in a usb.

No kidding. I'm truly amazed that no PC vendor seems to have latched onto this as an opportunity -- our PC just works out of the box, has sensible defaults for everything, and doesn't offer you lots of marketing and shovelware. Amazing.
