@tzubair- Definitely. Though city-wide travel bans put a crimp in those services once the snow starts, I bet they saw an uptick before it came. I hope someone ordered Tzolkin with Amazon's one hour delivery. It is a great...

@impactnow- I didn't get a chance to check before coming into work today but I'd be shocked if Steam and some of the other game sites didn't hold a snow day sale. They are very clever with sales. I'll report back.

@tzubair- True, the network has changed. But I think we're still basically making calls on a network of connected wires/signals. So I think VOIP counts. But it is a fun question. Each step awat from the original seems a...

@mak63- I stuck with enterprise tools, but I think TV is a fascinating discussion. Depending on your definition, streaming might be killing tradition TV. If you mean the screen we use to watch the entertainment, i suspect...

@Charlie- Yes, I wish that had happened before I went to press. that sure does put things in perspective. I suspect that the White House is considering installing those defense systems they put on ships.

It doesn't sound like going to bathroom will be much fun in future. So, are we back to corn cobs or on to lasers? And I'm not sure I will want to eat without paper plates, think of all the extra dishes! Doesn't sound like...

A lot of technologies have been around for ages in one form or another. Headphones and speakers are a great example. Likewise, though not as long lasting, the humble keyboard and mouse. In-fact the former of those even more...

Will Google be scanning our private phone calls for information it can resell to advertisers? Maybe this will be Google's default position as it has been for the use of all its other services.
