I have to give a friend of mine credit - he warned me of this six months ago when I installed the Chrome Browser.

Google - but also Microsoft - are trying for one and the same thing here: Web-based computing which turns your own desktop into a simple terminal, like in the days of the first super computers. Only difference being, this time it runs over internet.

And main difference being: They all want to charge you for monthly access. No more piracy. No more refusing to upgrade. They will sell you a small box that connects to your flat screen TV, and from there it's all a monthly "service". Once you have moved your whole workflow and data to their system, you would find it almost impossible to chancel the contract.

There, a worthy quote for the future!

I look forward to the day when I have to make a choice about continuing to own a computer and putting up with this crap or saying to hell with it and moving on with my life minus the hands of big brother resting on my shoulders (and if you dont get that line, you will someday... one way or another).

The sad thing is, there is a segment of society (and its a huge segment at that) who are too stupid to realize how controlled they are allowing themselves to become, AND THEY LIKE IT. Just a flock of sheeple.
