Amen, Mr. Jobs!!
"We don't think that televisions and personal computers are going to merge. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and
you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on."

Couldn't have said it better myself. This melding of the computer to every appliance in your house and to every facet of your life can only appeal to quasi-human automatons like BG and SB, who themselves obviously have no life outside of the PC. I, for one, am most assuredly NOT the type of individual who, after eight hours of computer work, desires to go home and play computer some more. One thing that I've found to be axiomatic: Techies who have productive lives OUTSIDE of the computer make for better employees, friends, and human beings.
