Intel’s vision of the future ad

(via)

Not too bad I guess. It’s certainly a shiny future-present they’re painting.

I still don’t understand why we don’t have more text->speech conversions going on. Must look into that further. Be great to have a customizable/skinnable voice to the computer – that could read out blog posts while you’re washing the dishes or something. (Yes, I am a nerd).
Same with the voice-recognition. Though scuttlebutt says Dragon9 is quite functional these days.

That whole push/pull thing is basically a dressed up RSS Reader caching offline. Not impressive.

Ditto the driving-directions thing with the asian dude. My mate gets told where to go by Ozzie Osbourne.
Sidenote though – it did make me wanna check out some Beethoven!

And those bracelet thingies the girls were wearing seem a tad ghey if you ask me.

On the another hand, I did like that rotating watch.
