Interesting... But iGoogle is not an operating system yet. It's just an interface. |
Wat zoekt U in Nederland anyway? ;) |
interesting research and great idea! |
pretty good, but i can imagine this taken in a different light – from this, to this – where the first 'this' was something good – like not having to sit in traffic for a couple of hours a day – to 'this' – someone sitting in traffic, road raging, smog all around, etc.

(Peter, you actually predicted the follow-up I had planned!) |
("WAT ZOEKT U?" is Dutch for "what are you looking for?" The screen is from a 1984 C64 software mapping the Netherlands :)) |
I'm actually surprised at how *little* has changed in all that time...the same paradigms mostly apply! |
nowaday cute interface. little progress made in functional field.. |
Yeah! Since Xerox invented first windows interface no changes appeared. But hardware prices decreased greatly. Ain't they? |
Philipp – I'm sitting at home working instead of driving into work today – and I hardly ever leave my small town in the middle of nowhere, 'cos I don't have to any more – surely this is more than an Interface change – if you asked me which would I give up – windows/iGoogle or the Internet – I know which one I'd choose (I want to keep multi-tasking). In any case interface changes are important otherwise only geeks would use these machines (and then we'd never get to talk to normal people). As a computer user since 77, personal computers started making a difference about 81 for me, but the real rpoductivity increases happened when the Internet arrived. Now I just can't keep up – it's all good. |
xlnt...Its a milesote, but we have to go more ... let us share our ideas, minds and hands We have to win, not google, not yahoo or not microsoft we, the human should get the benifit so xchange ideas, develop it

It comes to the conclusion: Systems Software Research is Irrelevant!

Cool, but what is with this one: http://blogoscoped.com/files/software-progress-2.jpg? Last time I checked CS was newer than Duck hunt. |
