      Yeah, I'll bet a lot of that will be created in the next decade. But seeing as it took M$ 7 years to create the Vista disaster, it will not be them that creates any of them. The mobile stuff will be created by Apple, the medical stuff will be created by Medtronic, the commercial stuff will be created by IBM, Sony, and Sun.

      Microsoft needs to get their act together and make something useful...

      But really, I want to see Apple make a gaming console. I wonder what that would be like?

      We have enough game consoles, thank you Slayer.

      The video reminds me of those '50s videos of 1999. Where the whole world was wired and everyone had a computer. And it hasn't happened yet. But I guess that what they showed wouldn't be too hard to have, just 2019 is a little soon. I don't think we have come that far since 1999, except for touch screen phones and slimmer TVs. I may be wrong, but drawing animations in thin air is a little ambitious.

      By far, Mothra (in all of it's forms) is the worst kaiju of all time.

      Same thing as my first thought

      They do, it's called the iPhone. It's the most powrful handheld gaming system out there by far. They also made one called the Pippen, it was the first with internet access, too bad it was 56k

      I mean like a big console like the Wii, Xbox, or PS3 (don't insert joke here).

      I bet an Apple console would suck, and would cost 2x as much as the other systems, despite having worse hardware. It would also get no games.

      Also, you call the iPhone the most powerfull handheld gaming device ever? You best be joking!

      Oh come on, even if they invent all those things by 2019, they won't be cheap enough for the general population for at least 20-30 more years. Silly Microsoft.

      I'll "Oh come on" your "oh come on"....

      Name one thing MS has invented in the last 10 years
      Hell, the last 20

      Everything they do is either rehashing old formulae, or acquired through acquisition

      MS has never developed on OS from scratch
      The one thing they're most known for, and it's all but fiction

      They bought DOS, and rebranded it
      They hired engineers from DEC to develop NT for them

      MS is not a software company
      They're not even a technology company

      Microsoft's business is marketing
      has been for many, many years
      and yet they've managed to screwed that up too

      I thought that was more like drawing on an electronic device and the image that would be only on the electronic device was being put up in the air for us (the viewers of the video) to see. I may be mistaken though. I thought it was just a visual effect for us, and not necessarily what a person would see in reality.

      Name one that's more powerful? Did you say something stupid?

      iPhone
      Samsung ARM SoC 620 MHz 1176 running at 412 Mhz + PowerVR MBX
      3D GPU
      128MB RAM
      8 or 16GB Flash storage
      320×480 3.5” display with finger multitouch input
      Accelerometers for direct physical control
      Quad band GSM + EDGE
      WiFi 802.11 b/g
      BlueTooth 2.0 EDR

      Nintendo DS
      67 MHz ARM 946E-S (N-Gage processor) + 33 MHz ARM7TDMI (same processor as the original iPods)
      4MB RAM
      256KB Flash + cartridge storage
      Dual, 256×192 3“ displays; one is stylus touch sensitive
      WiFi 802.11b/g

      Sony PSP
      333 MHz MIPS R4000 CPU + GPU with 2 MB onboard VRAM running at 166 MHz
      32 MB main RAM (new models expanded to 64MB), and 4 MB embedded DRAM.
      MemoryStick storage, UMD media
      480×272 (368×207 usable for video); no touch screen features
      WiFi 802.11b


      Please look at tech specs before saying random stuff in the tech forum. Most of the people in here know what they're talking about and will call you on such statements.

      *cough* Pandora is more powerful than the iPhone (3D hardware wise, by quite a long way) *cough*

      but then again, the Pandora is a portable gaming device, rather than a smart phone

      Pandora? Enjoy your vaporware. Anyway, it keeps on getting delayed, unfortunately. I thought it looked neat.

      Ninja, it might have better specs, but not all of that is dedicated to games. Most of it is going towards the firmware, 3G network, and you know, phone stuff.

      Plus, I'd hardly call little apps "games".

      IIRC, the iPhone can have games like Mario and stuff like that one it.

      Emulators? You can do that on PSP, too. And with actual buttons to press.

      That's another problem with the iPhone. It's hard to call it a gaming machine if it has no buttons.

      I have lots of games. Better specs means better games. Its lack of games is due to it being very new, the SDK was only released a year ago

      This wonderful vision of the future is never going to happen.
      Ever watched "back to the future 2"?

      We're almost there, and this place still looks a lot like '85 methinks.
      Current projects:
      -Acquire the Aurora
      -Test galatamine, huperzine and choline
      -Find smartwatch app for RC reminders at certain intervals
      -Ressurect my dream log here, and become more active

      Better specs does NOT mean better games, sorry. There are probably more DS games that are fun for awhile than iPhone games that are fun for more than a bit. Once again, no buttons, shitty little apps, and it's only popular for its cheap SDK. The iPhone is a phone, not a gaming machine.

      Ninja didn't say it was the best, he said that it was the most powerful.
      But still I don't know how much of that is allocated to the firmware and 3G etc. like you said, and I'd bet a fair amount of it.

      But hey, I still love my iPhone

      Woohoo! I had a DILD and a DEILD one night both for the first time
