@FriedConsole Yes it's "art" but actually its purpose is to create an easy target for pretentious people to pretend they're not pretentious (the double pretentious) by calling people who get it pretentious.
No it's just a cool game. Sorry about your insecurities though, that's rough.
@AuDioFreaK39 Oh right, forgot to say that the limitation there is the pipes but even with what we have now, OnLive demonstrates it's possible to cover nearly every current application with even 1.5Mbps. Once we have a good 20Mbps wireless internet covering everything, why should the wires ever leave the labs?
@AuDioFreaK39 Interesting you mention that because I happen to play games using a system that could fairly easily take care of the end user hardware problems called OnLive. Only limitation using that system is the pipes between the server or "The Matrix" as it's called in sci-fi movies ;) and the disposable cheap input/output devices. No fun maybe for circuit board fetishists but I'm certainly ready to move forward!
Huh, actually, watching the end of that, it suddenly took a turn towards an idea I think has been spinning in the backs of a lot of people's minds: The Cloud Browser. Where the whole internet is organized into space we can visually zoom in and out of and control all in real time with domain hierarchy like we have now but everything is up front instead of found through typing in URLs and clicking on links. Just drag and zoom like Google Earth! Then if it's space you own you can manipulate it using whatever apps you have and and expose whatever you want to everyone else. All visually. That's certainly where we're headed anyway.
I was going to make a UI design concept video showing what kinds of madness would come from adding every idea possible to a UI but it seems Mozilla beat me to it!
@Revolutionary Stupid Apple and all their fancy pretty crap! Life isn't pretty! Life sucks and is horrible! I hate when stuff tries to not look the way I feel inside! Long live hideous hell-scapes of wires and molded plastic shells!
